Join us for a showing of The Fever, by Wallace Shawn,
October 31-November 1, 2020 at 33 Hawley! Performed by Peter B. Schmitz & Directed by John Hellweg. 10/31 & 11/1, 2pm sharp—no late seating will be permitted. This is an in-person, limited capacity, socially distant performance. Attendees are required to wear masks, though the performer will not be masked. Seating will be 6 feet apart and attendance will be capped at 15 people. Show run-time is 1 hour, 45 minutes, no intermission. RSVP is required to attend! Please email meredithbove@apearts.org to reserve your spot no later than Wednesday, 10/28, while space remains. $10-15 suggested donation. Payable online via PayPal in advance (preferred) or at the door. The Fever was awarded an Obie for Best New American Play in 1991. From The New York Times: “Mr. Shawn exposes the contradictions and compromises of the urban liberal mind with a mercilessness that is sly and at times hilarious.” We hope you can attend this sharing of Schmitz's and Hellweg's most recent investigation of The Fever.

Serious Play Theatre Ensemble's MOVING WATER Project
This year-long development of the ensemble piece Moving Water is moving ahead via Skype, as musician Jonny Rodgers dials in from Oregon to work with playwright Eric Sanders and the cast, scattered around the Valley.
VIDEO PROJECT BY
SERIOUS PLAY THEATRE ENSEMBLE
MOVING WATER
AUGUST 22-30
Walk by the A.P.E. window at 126 Main Street, Northampton between August 22 and 30 to view the video loop displayed on the TV screen to share Serious Play Theatre Ensemble's first two short but fanciful storefront window experiments: Water Window One- Balloons, and Water Window Two-Sergei’s Daydream.
Water Window Videos at APE Gallery-Creative Performance Projects for the In Between.(The In Between refers to the time when we can be together as an ensemble in a small group, but before theatre spaces can re-open.) These video
experiments follow water themes and allow for an actor’s total physical expressiveness. Their creation has challenged us to stretch our ensemble’s artistic abilities as we try our hand at recording live window moments exploring: framing,
stylized movement, character investigations, point of view, scale, use of perspective and toy theatre techniques.
