‘Hermione’ (Monica Schneider), ‘Polixenes’ (Matt Merchant) and ‘Leontes’ (Matt Walker) in the Troubadour Theater Company’s A WITHER'S TALE at the Falcon Theatre.
The Troubadour Theater Company’s “A Wither’s Tale“, the first play in our 2010-2011 season, officially opened last Friday to a standing ovation! The Troubies have quite a show on their hands – using the soulful music of Bill Withers (“Ain’t No Sunshine When She’s Gone”, “Lean On Me”, “Grandma’s Hands”) to tell the Bard’s complicated romance, “A Winter’s Tale” – often referred to as one of Shakepeare’s “problem plays.” And they don’t disappoint.
Before officially opening, director Matt Walker sat down with the LA Stage Blog and talked about working with the Troubies and this show in particular.

Ameenah has been working with the Troubies and all over LA for years – and she allowed us to get a little insight into her work as a choreographer:
Falcon: What was your first experience with dance and/or theater? What was it that inspired you to make it your career?
Ameenah Kaplan: My first experience with dance was taking ballet as a kid around age 9 or 10. Unfortunately, my parents understood sports much better than the arts, and they dropped the dance lessons in favor or organized sport. I loved sports but longed to return to dance which didn’t happen until I was about 14 [...]
