EverGreen Theatre Ensemble has been living and breathing for almost a decade. Craig Berger, he of Buffalo Theatre fame, the Professioinal Company based out of UCLA, yeah, University Closest To The Lombard Area,or COD. After 35 years he moved on and he raised EverGreen.
Craig is now,wishes granted,Permanent Artist in Residence. Under Craig's hand EverGreen interpreted such plays as A Dolls House, Time Stands Still, Dracula,Picasso at the Lapin Agile, And We Will Share The Sky, written by Donna Latham, a member, this play was nominated for The Kennedy Center Honors.
I Paul Mapes have been acting since 7, have worked film, stage, design lights, sound, set, effects, write, 7 plays, one of which was co-written with Ben Vereen. I am working on my second book Ashes on Halsted: a memoir. I am now the Executive Directer for Our Ensemble. I have worked at Steppenwolf Theatre Company, Stage Left, Free Shakespeare Co. SST Communications, Directing Fighter of a Fitful Dream, staged at the Civic Opera House. I train, teach and more than anything, I care. In my new and some what old position, which is really just a slide, We, the Ensemble, wish to open the doors on some chances to do some work.
Professional, not, dropping inhibitions, no being forgotten. Scene study, monologues, One acts, play readings, Poetry Performance and slams, comedy night Performance. And something that is very important to me is bring some live theatre to senior living facilities. These are goals, as we rise from a brief repose, we hope you come see what we see, give us your email we will let you all know what we are doing (after we figure it out. LOL no really, LMAO)
