EXTENDED AGAIN- Peril in the Alps at North Coast Rep

EXTENDED AGAIN- Peril in the Alps at North Coast Rep

The twin sister of Captain Hastings wife, Dulcie, has been kidnapped – and Hercule Poirot rightly expects not only extortion to follow, but murder! Using elements of Agatha Christie’s “Poirot Investigates,” Steven Dietz creates a sequel to his wildly popular Murder on the Links, taking us on a thrilling and dangerous trip to the snow-capped Alps, where the famed Belgian detective may finally meet his match. Six actors bring to life dozens of eccentric characters and clever suspects in this diabolically funny comic mystery. If you’re yearning for a good laugh, don’t miss it!

Harvesting Dreams: Defying the Odds to Achieve the American Dream

Erica Alfaro is an award-winning author, educational advocate and international keynote speaker. In 2019, her graduation photo –– taken in a strawberry field with her farmworker parents –– went viral and made headlines around the world.

Her story has been featured in major media outlets, including CNN, the Huffington Post and Yahoo News. She has received certificates of recognition from the U.S. Assembly and Senate, as well as a letter of recognition from former Vice President Kamala Harris. She has received multiple Latina and business leadership awards, including Constituent of the Month by the House of Representatives and 40 under 40 by Business Street.

Her story was portrayed in the docuseries Cronicas de Univision, and her book, “Harvesting Dreams,” received the International Latino Book Award and the 7th Latino “Book into Movies” award.

In 2023, the County of San Diego proclaimed October 5 as “Erica Alfaro’s Day” and a public mural of her was painted in National City to honor her as a community leader.

Erica’s graduation picture and story are now permanently featured in San Francisco’s Angel Island Immigration Museum.

The Apocalypse Project at Theatre School @ North Coast Rep

The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep presents a show full of invention, discovery, and youth creativity in the new work The Apocalypse Project by Briandaniel Oglesby as its next Protostar Social Issues Series student production. It’s 2030. Four years ago, everyone over the age of 20 disappeared from the planet. No one knows why. Then it happened again. On the Altierra compound in Texas, young T dreams of the internet returning so she can be a YouTuber and document her generation. When a crisis expels a group, she joins the exiles on a trek across the broken land. This group faces constant danger as they search for safe-harbor – and possibly the answer to the question of what happened — at the rumored New Eden. This is a play about what happens when the young are left to deal with the disasters in a world they didn’t create. Along the way, the crew experience a strange and yet recognizable landscape. They encounter an authoritarian farm, anarchist Firestarters, feral children, Sad Disneyland, and ruined hometowns. There are moments of intensity and plenty of humor in this play that’s about climate change, social change, coming-of-age, immigration, and the current moment.

 

Director Benjamin Cole is thrilled to share the dramatic journey of confusion, chaos, and acceptance experienced in this creative new play. “How would you cope as a teenager if all the adults suddenly disappeared,” Cole questions. “We’re challenging our students to take ownership of how they’d take responsibility for themselves and others.” he offers. The show runs a daring 1 hour and 40 minutes with one intermission and aims to inspire audiences throughout. Additional production staff includes Sound Designer, Melanie Chen Cole; Stage Manager, Paul Smith; and Lighting Designer, Liam Sullivan.

 

The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep proudly delivers high-quality theatre instruction and seven student theatre productions throughout the year, offering accessible and fun training for various age groups.
