Suzanne Vega in Carson Talks About LoveKay Matschullat directs a music-theater work-in-progress

Saturday, August 28, 6:30
Sunday, August 29, 6:30
Kay Matschullat directs singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega in a new music-theater piece based on the writings of Carson McCullers. Vega conjures the hearts that McCullers painted in the prose of her work and acted out through her passionate life. As she speaks and sings her way through a labyrinth of love, we experience the comedic Carson, the pained Carson and the provocateur she became. In trying to explain, she strives to conquer the demons that intrude on the course of love, which for her and her characters never runs smoothly. Seamlessly moving from spoken word to song and back again, Vega channels McCullers in a way that reveals the meeting of two souls through a work of art. The summer of 2010 will bring the artists to the Weston Playhouse, Steve Stettler Artistic Director, where they will develop the piece, which will be performed at The YardArts! Festival and then premiere at Rattlestick Theater, David Van Asselt Artistic Director, in New York in May 2011.
