The Black Box Theatre at Pomperaug High School is located next to the auditorium in room #113. This small, rectangular space (ca. 50' X 33') is a flexible theatre that can be adapted to the design concept for the play being produced inany given season. It is the home not only of PTC's fall productions but also Mr. Doniger's theatre classes. The walls, floor, curtains, and ceiling are all black in color in order to maintain the integrity of proper theatrical lighting. Like most black box theatres, this space is ideal for plays that lend themselves to experiments in design. In previous years, the PTC Black Box Theatre has staged productions of plays ranging from Shakespeare's late comedy, The Tempest, to the world premiere of Mr. Doniger's own Commedia dell'Arte play, Masks.
CALL FOR HELP:
Parents and other adults, you are needed!
Because our learning goals in the theatre program include working as part of a team in a real-world, jobsite type of experience, we need mentors and professionals with skills. That means we want guidance from adults with skills like carpentry, sewing, management, publishing, printing, painting, design and execution of projects, and many others that may come up during the production, performance, and post-production aspects of our plays. If you're an adult with the time, skills, and interest to work with us (typically from 2:15 through 4:00 or 5:00 in the afternoon), please contact Mr. Doniger (pdoniger@region15.org) or call the Black Box Theatre (203-262-3247).
