Filling "Bucket"
Local photographer, Dan Culberson not only has a creative eye, but a creative pen. "Bucket" is the 5th script by the author that SJTC: Second Stage has produced. In fact, Culberson's "Pants" was in the line up of the very first Theatre on the Edge four years ago.
Co-director Ryan Gilbert recently commented on the SJTC: Second Stage's commitment to local authors. "It's always been great. It's also more of collaboration than commitment in my opinion," says Gilbert. "I tell you, the idea of having locally written pieces performed is something that makes me proud to be a part of [SJTC:] Second Stage, this city and inspires me as a writer."
Willow Edwards, who is tackling the role of "Anna" in "Bucket," agrees. "I appreciate the opportunity that SJTC affords to people who wish to try their hand at play writing. Having outlets to explore and develop one's creativity is so important, and SJTC provides a supportive milieu for doing so. Through SJTC individuals are provided with a venue for exposure of their work at the local level, which may lead to further development of scripts and ideas."
Culberson is known in particular for his theatre of the absurd pieces, and "Bucket" is no exception. His scripts, while outwardly extremely funny, often convey a deeper meaning that will touch audiences. "It gives one something to think about," says Edwards. "It raises questions such as, what am I filling my bucket with? Is it full or is it empty? Is it filled with something good, or is it filled with garbage?"
"["Bucket"] explores familiar issues, one’s relationship with oneself and with others, in a metaphoric way," adds Pauline Cronin, who will be playing "Alicia" in the production.
The production, which opens Wednesday and runs until Friday, also features Allain Roy, Nathan Spavold and Mike Blanchard. Audiences attending the Friday night performance will have the added treat of participating in "Winging It!" preparations.
Tickets are $10 per show or $25 for a festival pass and are available at the door at in advance the NB Museum lobby.
