*Bakerloo Theatre Project Announces 2008 Season*
The Tempest, The Cherry Orchard planned for Ninth summer outing from July to
August

Bakerloo Theatre Project will present The Tempest by William Shakespeare and
The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov, in repertory, beginning July 11 on the
campus of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY.

"For our ninth summer in the Capital Region, we will explore two „last
plays‟. These two works, which range from haunting to humorous yet resonate
with any audience, are from two of the greatest writers of the literary
canon," said William Addis, Bakerloo‟s artistic director.

For the first time, Bakerloo will be performing completely in the round,
with audiences seated on all sides of the action, as well as action
occurring on all sides of the audience. Bakerloo strives to exploit the
vivacity of the living theatre, and with its 2008 season, the audience will
truly be in the middle of it all. Bakerloo believes strongly in
theatre-making as storytelling; this production will be a further
exploration of the actor as a mechanism for reintroducing old stories in
fresh ways. Through music, movement and Bakerloo's trademark distinguished
interpretation of text, the company will once more breathe new life into two
classically beautiful and haunting plays.

Bakerloo Theatre Project is in residence at Academy Hall on the campus of
RPI. The Tempest will be performed July 11, 12, 17, 18, 19, 24, and August 1
at 8PM, with matinees on July 13, 20 and 26 at 2PM. The Cherry Orchard will
be performed on July 25, 26, 31, and August 2 at 8PM, as well as July 27 and
August 2 at 2PM. Tickets are $16 each, or $25 for a season pass.
