The Schauspielhaus Graz had a large Theaterfest
to mark the start of their 2011/2012 season. The ensemble and crew of
the Schauspielhaus, as well as some guest actors, took part this evening
of theatre and celebrations.
There was a properties auction, a speed
dating session with characters from productions from last year, an
automatic hotdog machine, games for youngsters and two preview shows.
The preview show showed us about 10 minutes of the various productions
set to premiere within the next two months and there were introductions
to some of the other shows set to play in the house. The preview show
was wittily moderated by Steffi Krautz and Sebastian Reiß in a variety
show manner.
I really liked the idea of introducing a theatre's season
is such a way because it builds excitement for the season and the
company. It's almost like a pep-rally for theatre. This goes to show how
invested the subscribers of the Schauspielhaus are in their theatre. I
wish we could see something like this in Canada....but allas, we have a
different theatre culture.
