A TTW BUFFET OF CARIBBEAN, AMERICAN & EUROPEAN ITEMS TRINIDAD THEATRE WORKSHOP (TTW) graduated 13 Trainee Actors on Saturday 18th July at its theatre in Belmont. This troupe of young actors, a “motley crew” of sorts, contained within its talented archetypical ranks the unexpected but endearing synergies of a differently-abled young lady, a full-fledged medical doctor, a citizen from Gambia, a student from NYU - Abu Dhabi and a citizen of Jamaica. The TTW’s intimate stage setting easily facilitated the troupe’s menu of performances - a buffet of Caribbean, American and European classics served with a style that could only be described as “sophisticatedly simple.” It was an evening of Impossible Situations where Vaginas Monologued and where Julius Caesar - the Man CHECK OUT NATHAN MARCELIN MUSIC VIDEO - SAFE For All Seasons - and his popularity dried up like a Raisin in the Sun and where Romeo and Juliet’s relationship turned into a Fairy Commesse with a Dragon who couldn’t Dance On De Block. If one were to judge purely from the items chosen for the evening’s feast, credit must indeed be given to the artistic chefs - Evelyn Caesar Munroe and Michailean Taylor - who prepared the dramatic buffet and directed the thespian display. At the end of the evening, I left the theatre feeling artistically satisfied and well-fed! Trinidad and Tobago Theatre is in quite capable hands.
