DAYBOYNIGHTGIRL is DA!'s original full-team collaborative adaptation based on
The Romance of Photogen and Nycteris, a magical tale written by Scottish fantasy maestro George MacDonald in 1882.
The feedback sessions from our Part One performances in April 2011 were so heartening and informative that we're having a second weekend of shows in mid-December (with talk-backs!), refining and building upon our work from last spring by telling the next part of the story -- this time from the Day Boy's perspective.
DAYBOYNIGHTGIRL features choreography by
Lisa del Rosario, marking her highly anticipated follow-up to
Relative Space, which DA! produced at HPT in December 2008.
Kirk German, DA!'s Resident Playwright, has adapted the script for
DBNG, and Artistic Director
Heather Huggins directs. Prolific Austin musician and special guest collaborator Justin Sherburn has composed a breath-taking original score to help tell this beautiful story of two children who try to break free from the experiment of a mysterious sorcerer.
The cast of
DAYBOYNIGHTGIRL includes
Robin Grace Thompson as Nycteris,
Jude Hickey as Watho,
Jacob Trussell as Photogen,
Rhonda Kulhanek as Falca,
Scott Roskilly as Fargu/The Wolf,
Taylor Kulhanek as Aurora, and
Lisa del Rosario herself as Vesper.
Then, in June 2012, the full-length
DAYBOYNIGHTGIRL will conquer the Rollins stage at the Long Center!
Stay tuned for all the exciting details...
