TEN QUESTIONS
with
John Fagan, Artistic Director of the Upstate Shakespeare Festival


1. What's the best show
     you've ever seen?
This choice ages me; the original cast of Sunday in the Park w/ George.

2. Who is your theater
     hero?
I've got two: Julie Taymor & Steven Sondheim.

3. Favorite Beatle.
Always been partial to John Lennon.
   
4. Who was your most   
    memorable teacher?
Sister Margarita.  She was over 900 years old and more than capable of handling a roomful of 4th graders. I think I learned more from her than any other teacher, just so the Devil wouldn't take my soul.
   
5. "re" or "er"?
re
    
6.
If you could see a
    play at any theater 
    in the world...

The original production of Romeo & Juliet at the Globe.
   
7. Favorite place to eat
Wherever someone else is cooking.  

8. What other job in
    the theater would
    you like to attempt?
Don't know. I've tried just about everything.  I've acted, designed, stage managed, written, directed, run box office, cleaned bathrooms, been a critic...what's left? 
I'd like to try that.

  
9. If a book was written
    about your life, what
    would be the title?
The best damn MFP yet!
   
10. Describe what you  
      contribute to the
      theater (in one
      sentence.)
I hope I can contribute the best theatre one can get by pulling stuff out of a beat up blue truck.


Thanks Mr. Fagan.  USF's latest offering, AS YOU LIKE IT, runs from July 26 to Aug 19 at Falls Park.



     
1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY PARTY!
small b/wIt's hard to believe that a full year has passed since the Launch Party, but our little website has a lot to show for it!  Everyone is invited to come to the Northgate Soda Shop (home to Theater Thursdays) on MONDAY, AUGUST 13 for food, conversation, and a small presentation.  The festivities will begin at 8:00 PM and last until whenever.  We'd like to have representatives from as many area theaters as possible, so please make an effort to stop by and chat with members (and future members) of Upstate Onstage!

Below is an up-to-date listing of all known productions that have been announced for the 07-08 Season.
