The adventurous Louis de Rougemont invites you to hear his amazing story of bravery, survival and celebrity that left nineteenth-century England spellbound. Featuring tempests and battles, pearl divers and sea turtles (and a bit with a dog), Shipwrecked examines how far we're willing to blur the line between fact and fiction in order to leave our mark on the world.
Starring Josh Hartwell, Lindsey Pierce and Stephen Weitz.
"The Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Donald Margulies scampers to the defense of good old-fashioned yarn spinning with Shipwrecked. The breathless story of a Victorian gentleman [and] seafaring wanderer springs to life like a theatrical pop-up book." —NY Times.
"A deft literate narrative folded into a vaudevillian romp with radio theater overtones.” -LA Times.
Producing Ensemble Director’s Comments: This show is the epitome of everything we try to do here at BETC: a wonderful story of adventure and discovery, told in a style that only theatre can truly convey. Part Robinson Crusoe, part reality show, this is sure be a fun ride for patrons of all ages. Shipwrecked will also be featured as our student matinee series, continuing the success we had with last season's Crime and Punishment.
Season 6 is presented through the generous support of Sacha Millstone, Senior Vice President,
Millstone Evans Group of Raymond James and Associates, Inc.

Tectonic Theatre Workshop
BETC and the University of Colorado Boulder are bringing Tectonic to town in April 2012!
Leigh Fondakowski, Founding Member of Tectonic Theatre Project, will teach an innovative three-day intensive workshop on "Moment Work," the approach to dramatic creation that has led to the company's award-winning work including Gross Indecency and The Laramie Project. In this workshop, students actively engage with the elements of the stage – exploring lights, sound, costumes, movement, text, architecture and more – to discover their full theatrical potential and the poetry inherent in each element. The workshop culminates in a presentation of the Moments created over the course of the weekend.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don't miss out, sign up today!
