periences to the role. And, honestly, that’s how I try to approach
each and every role,” said Coon.
Coon is also excited about the
production’s use of multimedia.
He was part of a production of
Parade at the Arden Theatre Company in Philadelphia which relied
heavily on a multimedia presentation and thinks its use is perfect
for this story as well.
“[Multimedia] is one of the most
exciting things about technology in the theatre these days,”
added Coon. “Technological
abilities grow in leaps and bounds
so quickly these days so that effects productions weren’t able to
achieve merely a year or two prior
can now be easily tackled. Ted has
a great vision for the technology
he’s going to employ in this production. The overarching theme of
the show is that much of it plays
out as if it were a early 60’s television variety show so television is
a big part of this production. Also,
the ability of a camera to focus on
a close up of a face or a prop to
heighten the audience’s attention
