WHAT’S
HAPPENING
The UO’s University Theatre is trying something a bit
diff erent this time around by mounting a production of
Virginia Woolf’s fi nal novel, Between the Acts, and staging
it in the style of Seattle’s seminal Book It Theater, where
actors read directly from passages of the work. It’s a
gutsy, exciting move: Much of Woolf’s genius resides
in her incomparable ability to fl oat freely among her
characters’ fl eeting thoughts and emotions, creating an
exhilarating web of meaning and feeling. “Characters in
this play not only are in dialogue with each other, but also
narrating descriptions and internal thoughts directly to the
audience,” director John Schmor says. “It’s intentionally
spare staging, emphasizing the actors and Virginia Woolf’s
wonderful way with words.”
Between the Acts plays 8pm Thursday, Friday & Saturday,
July 31 - Aug. 2, at UO’s Hope Theatre. $5 door. — Rick Levin
