Marshlight Theatre launches its first production, The Wyrd Sisters, on Friday. CHMA popped by the new theatre company’s newly renovated space to talk to managing director Ryan Slashinsky.
“We’re just so thrilled to have this beautiful new venue to perform in,” says Slashinsky, who thanks Marshlight member Laura Thurston for “managing the whole reconfiguration and rejuvenation of our space.”
Marshlight was formed this spring by the merger of Live Bait Theatre and Performers Theatre, and took over the former Performers’ space on Fairfield Road. Now the reconfigured black box theatre features expanded seating, a larger backstage area, a tech booth and coat check.
Audiences for The Wyrd Sisters can expect “a hilarious, zany, fantastical romp through [a] pseudo-medieval world,” says Slashinsky, “but really it’s a satire on modern society.”
“We’re working on developing a season for next year, which will be our first official season,” says Slashinsky. “But we wanted to kick things off with a nice big production within our brand new space that everyone can come and enjoy.”
