MASTER CLASS

BarnArts Center for the Arts brings Terrence McNally's Master Class to the Upper Valley this summer with weekend performances.

Dates:
June 21-23 and June 28-30 at Barnard Town Hall.
Evening shows begin at 7 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.

Barnard's own Lois Resseguie stars as the tortured diva Maria Callas, a role played on Broadway by both Zoe Caldwell and Patti Lapone and on national tour by Faye Dunaway. This fully staged production draws its cast both locally (Resseguie and Nate Hinson who plays the Stagehand) and from Manhattan. This evening reveals the ugly duckling Callas thought she was in her youth, the turbulence of a long affair with Aristotle Onassis (before Jacqueline Kennedy) and how she won loyal fans at La Scala where singers are made and broken. The drama laced with familiar Verdi melodies is directed by BarnArts Center for the Arts Artistic and Executive Director Jarvis Green.

The stars are, from left to right, top: Mariana Weisler as Sophie, Lois Resseguie as Maria Callas; middle: Alexandra Smith as Sharon; left to right, bottom: Marco Jordao as Tony, Harrison Beck as Manny, Nate Hinson as Stagehand.
