121 Lifeline Reading Series - Sylvester by Georgette Heyer adapted by Christina Calvit dir Dorothy Milne. We did something different for the reading series that year. Instead of remounting past hits for an evening, we used it as an opportunity to try out new material. I was part of Sylvester; Or the Wicked Uncle, Christina Calvit returning to Georgette Heyer, after previously penning the Jeff Citation winning Pistols for Two and the Talisman Ring. Lifeline would eventually decide to give the script a full production in 2017. #retrospective #2016 #lifelinetheatre #sylvester #thewickeduncle #georgetteheyer #christinacalvit #dorothymilne #dogsandchildren (at Lifeline Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8mCpaNJemQ/?igshid=1ur40nln7m01w

110 Pistols for Two - The Georgette Heyer Reading Series - adapted by Christina Calvit dir Dorothy Milne for Lifeline Theatre. In addition to our 3 mainstage shows and our 3 kid series shows we do every year, in recent years, we’ve been doing one night only concert readings of some of our past hits. Pistols for Two was originally done in 2000. In fact, it won the Jeff Citation for Best New Adaptation that year. It is an adaptation of 3 different Heyer short stories that culminates in the protagonists from each story helping to solve a different protagonists story. A charming evening of regency theatre, I actually got to play a romantic lead who was not a terrible person in this, so it’s obvious why we could only do this for one night. Using only a handful of actors, we performed this reading with the three real life couples in the company, Jenifer Tyler and Peter Greenberg, Elise and Robert Kauzlaric, and Katie and Myself. I performed it a week after Killer Angels closed, and the day before my next round of rehearsals began. #retrospective #2013 #lifelinetheatre #georgetteheyer #readingseries #christinacalvit #dorothymilne #regencyromance (at Lifeline Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8JSpljJesX/?igshid=r91gt2c3u7m6
