Remy Bumppo's 2012/2013 Translations and Adaptations Reading Series
Remy Bumppo seeks translations of foreign-language plays and/or new versions of existing plays, fictions, histories, memoirs, or other source materials. We encourage writers who believe a text needs a fresh voice or particular cultural, political, or social points of view in order to deliver a story to a modern audience. We are especially interested in plays that relate to Remy Bumppo’s mission of producing works driven by vivid theatrical language. Scripts will receive due consideration, not just for future development, but also for public readings and possible future mainstage production.
The deadline for consideration in our 2012/2013 reading series was November 1, 2011. Please check here for submission information for the following season.

Remy Bumppo L.A.B. – Literary Advisory Board
Led by Incoming Artistic Director Nick Sandys
Each year, Remy Bumppo receives adaptations and translations for the theater from around the world. We do so in an effort to discover and nurture contemporary voices who can further our mission of exploring great theatrical language. This class examines how we select and develop this new work from the ground up: from the first draft, through selecting a short-list of readings for the following season, to possibly programming a production on the mainstage. In reading approximately 12 of the plays submitted to Remy Bumppo over the past year, we will discuss the many complex choices that enter into adapting a work for the stage; the possibilities that each text opens for a team of actors, directors, and designers; and what Remy Bumppo looks for in a “good play” – one that will engage the minds and hearts of the audience.
The class will discuss each play over the course of the three months culminating in selecting and pitching its top choices to Artistic Director Nick Sandys for his consideration in selecting the 2012/2013 Translations & Adaptations series of public readings.

Remy Bumppo Casting Director and Artistic Associate Linda Gillum uses theatre techniques that turn the monologue of a speech into a dialogue with the audience while taking the fear out of public speaking. Her one-on-one private coaching sessions will help you create a speech to present with the emphasis on delivery skills, highlighting your personality. Students may also bring in a prepared speech that they have worked on in previous public speaking engagements.
For over ten years, Linda Gillum has been consulting with large corporations in the area of presentational speaking. With an extensive theatre background, both as an actor and director, she has first-hand knowledge of how to deal with "stage fright" and the fears and challenges of being in front of an audience. She will help you transform dry, informational material, making it easier to be entertaining and interesting, with the ultimate goal of truly engaging your audience. Your private coaching is divided into two parts: Delivery, where your individual challenges regarding eye contact, voice and physicality will be addressed, and organization, where you will be assisted in developing a presentation that will suit your individual needs and style. Ms. Gillum has worked with groups as well as one-on-one coaching and has extended her knowledge to Remy Bumppo Theatre where she is an Artistic Associate.
