Look Who’s Back: Cindy Lou throws back another shot of good cheer with “Who’s Holiday!”

November 30, 2022 | by Sammi Leigh Melville

Everyone has heard the story of the Grinch who stole Christmas, but who of us have heard what happens after they all hold hands and sing “Fah Who Foraze?”

Enter Cindy Lou Who—and boy, does she have a story to tell. It’s dark, it’s hilarious, and it’s a little bit risqué. And it is coming up on its third year of performances at Open Stage, starring Rachel Landon as Cindy Lou, all grown up and rough around the edges.

In celebration of this next round of performances, I interviewed Landon to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse.

TheBurg: Prior to “Who’s Holiday!” had you ever done a one-woman show?

Rachel: I had! I had done a musical called “Tell Me On a Sunday,” which is a one-woman musical written by Don Black and Andrew Lloyd Webber. It’s about a woman who moves to New York from England, and she’s trying to find love and a career. It’s a very ‘80s show, but beautiful music and some of the best songs that Webber ever wrote.

TheBurg: How does this experience compare with “Tell Me On a Sunday?”

Rachel: There’s this saying, I think it’s Voltaire, that said, anything too stupid to be said is sung. So, in a musical, it’s really easy to emote and live in the moment and portray your feelings—it’s Shakespearean, because we say what we feel. And interestingly, “Who’s Holiday!” is told very much like a Dr. Seuss book. It’s told in Seussian rhyme, so it does kind of work the same way. I think Cindy is actually surprisingly deep and complicated and layered, something you would not expect from such a silly show. Also, a lot of the humor comes from the bad things that happen to her—and, in most shows, your protagonist triumphs in some way. Really, she’s just a person where her whole life, terrible things have happened to her consistently, [but] she keeps going. And that’s so lovely. You don’t see that from most people. I think she inspires me in that way.

TheBurg: Do you find doing the show for multiple years provides any challenges?

Rachel: Well, what was really cool was that [Chris Gibson] actually took on directing the show, so, I had settled into, you know, a joke is told this way, or this is how this moment lands. But with a new director and new eyes on it, that was really useful to me to find new moments and discoveries about the character. What I’ll say is, I don’t profess to be the best actor in the world—I’ve trained and I’m good enough at it that I can connect with this character and connect with the audience. And I’m feeling it every time—my tears are real tears, and my laughter is real laughter, and my joy is real joy, because I enjoy telling her story every night. And I get to disappear into Cindy.

TheBurg: What is the biggest thing you’ve learned from Cindy?

Rachel: To be able to laugh at ourselves and laugh at the tragedy of our lives, because it’s really easy to get bogged down by the horrors of the world around us. And in the end, just to love people around you, and to love yourself, and find joy—that’s all wrapped up in the idea of Christmas. I’m not a religious person, but how I was raised was like, hey, here’s one day! It’s like Scrooge’s story—let’s just find one day to be kind to each other, if we can do that. I learn that every single night, and we all have our depressions and anxieties about who we are and what’s happening. But my God, we can just sit down and be happy, and—

TheBurg: Have a Christmas party.

Rachel: And drink and be with friends and eat good food and just celebrate life.

“Who’s Holiday!” runs through Dec. 22 at Open Stage, 25 N. Court St., Harrisburg. For more information, visit www.openstagehbg.com.

Downtown Debut: Harrisburg’s Narçisse Theatre Company announces new home downtown

November 29, 2022 | by Maddie Gittens

The future home of Narçisse Theatre Co. in downtown Harrisburg

A local theater company is getting ready to raise the curtain on its new location.

Harrisburg’s Narçisse Theatre Company recently announced that it soon will have a home of its own, after years of performing in local venues.

“This is the first African American-run theater space in the city,” said founder and Artistic Director FL Henley Jr. “It’s for Harrisburg, by Harrisburg.”

The theater will be located at 312 Chestnut St. in downtown Harrisburg’s SoMa district, a building that previously housed the International House student exchange program. According to Henley, Narçisse will occupy the first floor and create an intimate theater space that can seat about 60 people.

The theater company, which started in 2016, previously held shows in H*MAC and at Italian Lake and has partnered with Gamut Theatre Group for performances. A few years ago, Narçisse began looking for its own space as the company gained popularity with shows like “Waiting For Godot,” “Antigone” and “Kill Keller.”

After working with building owner Harristown Enterprises, Narçisse decided on the Chestnut Street location for its new home. Henley views this next step as an important moment for the future growth of the company.

“This is our chrysalis moment,” he said. “[Narçisse] has grown so much.”

With the new theater will come “way, way more” programming, according to Henley, including more frequent shows, musical performances and acting classes for youth and adults.

The company plans to open the new theater in April, Henley said.

Narçisse prides itself on its original plays, often written by local writers, and its unique and provocative performances. The theater’s shows rarely include happy endings, sometimes excluding any sort of ending at all—that’s the way that Henley likes it.

“I want theater to be extremely challenging and thought-provoking,” he said.

Narçisse has also become known for its mission to make theater a more multicultural and diverse experience. As a Black-owned company, Narçisse aims to showcase artists of color and to attract underrepresented populations from the community, Henley explained.

“We bill ourselves as the people’s theater company,” he said. “We believe in access to theater.”

For Narçisse, a big part of ensuring accessibility is keeping ticket prices affordable. The company never charges more than $15 for a show and offers tickets for any size donation for Sunday matinees.

Looking towards the future, Henley envisions Narçisse growing into an arts education academy that offers expanded courses and programs for community members.

This step in finding a home draws Narçisse closer to that goal, he explained.

On Dec. 15, at 7 p.m., the company will hold a town hall meeting for the public to learn more about Narçisse, ask questions and share input and ideas for the new space. The meeting will take place at 312 Chestnut St. and will include refreshments.

“Our mission is to break down the walls and barriers and build bridges between communities,” Henley said. “We want to bring all these different audiences together.”

H-ARR-isburg on the High Seas: Matey, get ye bones to Open Stage for “Treasure Island”

September 29, 2022 | by Rachel Landon

My first experience with “Treasure Island” came around 1988, when my folks rented a BETA tape of the animated film from 1973.

It is an absolutely bonkers adaptation, with a pirate mouse sidekick for Jim (voiced by the Monkees’ Davy Jones) and some of the hokiest animation to ever hit a television screen. I had convinced myself it was a fever dream until recently when I hunted down a bootleg version on YouTube. It aged about as well as could be expected.

Over the years, I experienced the story in various iterations. I graduated to watching the 1950 Walt Disney live-action film, and, of course, the near-flawless “Muppet Treasure Island” in 1996. In the eighth grade I finally read Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel, and it checked all the boxes for a kid like me—it had swordfights, adventure on the high seas, colorful characters, a treasure map, a kid protagonist and of course, pirates.

It’s been a few hundred years since pirates like Blackbeard, Captain Kidd and Anne Bonney sailed the Seven Seas, and yet our collective obsession with buccaneers perseveres.

When Stuart Landon, artistic director at Open Stage (and who happened to grow up in the same household where that infamous BETA tape played), picked the 37th season, he knew that the theater needed a show that, after a season of small-cast shows, would welcome back a plethora of actors from our incredibly talented community, as well as audiences that can get excited about getting out and seeing shows again. Once again, “Treasure Island” checked all the boxes.

In 2014, Bryony Lavery adapted a version for the National Theatre. The production remained somewhat true to the original story with a few notable changes.

Jim Hawkins is now Jimima Hawkins, a “smart-as-paint” tomboy who dreams of escaping her humdrum life in her seaside village. The salty and colorful crew of the Hispaniola features familiar characters such as the treacherous Black Dog and the scurvy Israel Hands on deck. But characters like Red Ruth, Joan the Goat, Lucky Mickey, Dick the Dandy and Gray have been added to the roster of swashbucklers and seadogs. Their stories and relationships expand Stevenson’s beautifully crafted world in a way that audiences have never seen before.

The show will hit Open Stage starting Oct. 8, and those who have experienced “Treasure Island” in other mediums will find this to have all of the magic and romance of the original story, while enjoying a reimagined version with a modern and inclusive point of view. And as usual, Open Stage brings this epic adventure to an intimate stage at 25 N. Court St. for audiences to be up close and personal with the danger in the Admiral Benbow Inn, the magic of the open ocean viewed from the deck of an 18th-century schooner, and the heat of Captain Flint’s haunted island.

Sean Adams, who has been seen on stages all over central PA, takes on the role of Long John Silver, the infamous and endearing rogue, who, throughout history, has been portrayed by giants like Orson Welles, Charlton Heston, Robert Newton, and, of course, Tim Curry (“Upstage, lads. This is my only number!”). Adams is ready to take the wheel at the helm of (as he aptly puts it) “the pirate story.”

“It’s a great little adventure,” Adams said. “And it’s become so ingrained in pop culture that every pirate story written since owes something to it. I love how iconic every moment has become.”

How true that is. Would Jack Sparrow or Han Solo have been born without the benchmark of Robert Louis Stevenson’s quick-witted Silver? Adams is excited to tackle the role.

“Long John Silver is fascinating because of how charming he can be,” he said. “That makes him really dangerous, because people want to like him, even when they know they shouldn’t.”

Adams is one of 20 actors taking on the world’s most famous pirate story, and the energy in the rehearsal room is palpable as the cast and production team learn swordfights, build costumes and props, hoist sails and practice their best pirate-speak. This production will be unlike anything Harrisburg has seen before. If you’re like Jim Hawkins and dream of monsters, mutineers and treasure maps, this is the story for you. We look forward to having you join the crew.

“Treasure Island” runs Oct. 8 to 29 at Open Stage, 25 N. Court St., Harrisburg. For more information and tickets, visit www.openstagehbg.com or call 717-232-6736.
