<p>“We don’t share everything about ourselves. And of course, we move through the world trying to project an image of ourselves that has some relationship to the totality of who we are and our experience,” actor Seth Numrich recently told me. “But it’s curated, right? We’re always trying to put our best foot forward or show people what we think they want to see from us.” </p>
<p>It’s an intriguing concept going into an interview with an actor like Numrich who is currently appearing in <em><a href="https://www.geffenplayhouse.org/shows/power-of-sail/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Power of Sail</a></em> with Bryan Cranston and Amy Brenneman at the Geffen Playhouse.</p>
<p>Written by Paul Grellong, <em>Power of Sail</em> is about a Harvard (Cranston) professor whose invitation to a White Nationalist to speak there stirs up a hornet’s nest of controversy amongst the staff and the students. Numrich plays Lucas Poole who is a grad student who is hoping to get a prestigious fellowship that has launched several other Harvard students into high-profile and well-paying jobs.</p>
<p>“We come to understand and make and form opinions and judgments about these characters early in the play,” says Numrich. “And then because of the nature of the journey that the play goes on, each one of the characters something new is revealed about them. Then the audience gets to learn something and then reassess the assumptions that they made earlier in the evening. And I just think that that’s so cool and exciting because we’re all complicated.”</p>
<p>Numrich is accustomed to playing complicated and complex characters. He’s appeared on Broadway in Tom Stoppard’s <em>Travesties</em>, <em>Golden Boy</em> by Clifford Odets and <em>The Merchant of Venice</em> by William Shakespeare. The 35-year-old actor also appeared opposite Kim Cattrall in a 2013 production of <em>Sweet Bird of Youth</em> by Tennessee Williams.</p>
<p>“What I get really excited about is when the storytelling is truly happening through the characters. With the best writers you never feel like you’re being explained anything or you’re being taught anything. I appreciate plays that can find an entry into big, interesting, important – whatever that word means – questions about the human experience.”</p>
<p>Sometimes those roles require that Numrich do soul-searching to discover what he may or may not have in common with his character. When he appeared in <em>Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, America and Kuwait</em> by Daniel Talbott at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater in 2015 he told <a href="https://stagebuddy.com/theater/theater-feature/seth-numrich-interview" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">StageBuddy.com</a> that “I truly believe as an actor, as well as a person, that we all have the same capacities inside of us. We don’t like to look at the dark side of our nature, and we often say, ‘Oh, I could never do that. That would never be me.’ But in the right circumstances, you really don’t know.” It’s a perspective he brings to every role.</p>
<p>“I still believe that and it’s very important to me, in terms of the work that I do as an actor, that judging our characters makes it impossible to play any character. It’s never my job to sympathize with a character and their actions and beliefs. But it is my job to empathize with them as a human being. I feel like it’s kind of our superpower as actors is that we are professionally empathetic because we always have to be looking for and trying to understand, why is this person doing what they’re doing? Why are they behaving the way that they are? Why do they choose to move through the world in the way that they do?”</p>
<p>With <em>Power of Sail</em> Numrich says that exploration starts with the play itself.</p>

<p>“What I love about Paul’s writing is I think he does dialogue really well. When you’re speaking his words it never feels unnatural in any way. It always feels real and grounded, which is such a luxury.<em> </em>There’s so much to mine and that’s just exciting because I can just invest myself as the actor in the work I want to do there. And that feels like it naturally illuminates the text and vice versa. I don’t think I’m going to get bored by the end of this run. When I go into any scene I always have more to work on. And that’s not necessarily true of every writer.”</p>
<p>One of the producers of <em>Power of Sail</em> is Daryl Roth (a 12-time Tony Award winner for plays and musicals that includes <em>War Horse</em> in which Numrich appeared) which is fueling speculation that the play might soon set sail for Broadway. If it does, Numrich is confident it will be just as provocative in its next incarnation.</p>
<p>“There’s a lot that people can take from this play. I’ve talked to a lot of people after the show. What’s going on on stage is a mirror of what’s going on in the whole room. We’re asking people to sit for two hours with people living through these questions. It’s a nice reminder that [theater] does have something to offer that these other media do not have, which is that we’re going to all sit together in the same physical space breathing the same air. That feels like a radical, dangerous concept right now in the world. It also feels necessary and so I’m appreciative of this opportunity to do that in a way that feels really connected to the questions that certainly I have been experiencing and living through in the last couple of years.”</p>
<p><em>Power of Sail</em> continues at the Geffen Playhouse through March 27th. More tickets and more information, please go <a href="https://www.geffenplayhouse.org/shows/power-of-sail/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Playwright Tom Stoppard (<i>Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead</i>, <em>Travesties</em>) hadn’t given the world a new play for nine years. In 2015, he unveiled <em>The Hard Problem</em>, which had its world premiere in London. Critics were divided and now local audiences can get a chance to hear the play when L.A. Theatre Works presents <a href="https://latw.org/event/hard-problem-event-201920" target="_blank" rel="noopener">four radio-play performances</a> starting on Friday at the James Bridges Theatre at UCLA.</p>
<p><em>The Hard Problem</em> finds Hillary, a researcher at the Krohl Institute for Brian Science, torn between her passion for the science of the brain and the intentions of the organizations primary donor. Is he truly philanthropic or is he using the Institute to gain an advantage over his competitors? Are people genuinely good?</p>
<p>When performed in England, <em>The Hard Problem</em> ran 100 minutes without an intermission. Stoppard reworked the play before its opening in 2018 in New York. The work still divided critics.</p>
<p>Hannah Murray leads the company as Hillary. Eddie Cahill, Rosie Fellner, Desirée Moe Jung, Adhir Kalyan, Julian Morris and Moira Quirk round out the company. Rosalind Ayres directs.</p>
<p>So does <em>The Hard Problem</em> work or not? You’ll have four chances to find out. But it is Stoppard. Even the less-successful of his plays gives you plenty to think about.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 1975, Tom Stoppard’s play <em>Travesties</em>, opened on Broadway. It went on to win Tony Awards for Best Play, Best Actor and Best Director. Now 43 years later, this play is being revived in a production from the Menier Chocolate Factory in London. This revival opens this week at the Roundabout Theatre Company’s American Airlines Theatre and is directed by Patrick Marber.</p>
<p>Tom Hollander, who last appeared on Broadway in <em>The Judas Kiss</em> in 1998, stars as Henry Carr who reminiscences about his interactions with James Joyce, Lenin prior to the Russian Revolution and others when they all lived in Zurich in 1917.</p>
<p>Hollander is best known for roles in such films as <em>Pride and Prejudice</em>, <em>Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation </em>and <em>Gosford Park</em>. Menier Chocolate Factory has previously had four other productions on Broadway including revivals of Stephen Sondheim’s <em>Sunday in the Park with George</em> and <i>A Little Night Music</i>. They were also the team behind the award-winning revival of <em>The Color Purple</em>. The touring production of the latter show will be at the <a href="https://www.hollywoodpantages.com/events/detail/thecolorpurple" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pantages Theatre</a> in late May and will continue on to <a href="https://www.scfta.org/events/2018/the-color-purple" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Segerstrom Hall</a> immediately following in mid-June.</p>

<p>Shakespeare in Love – South Coast Repertory</p>
<p>Now – February 10</p>
<p>It’s award season in the film industry and what better timing for a stage version of the film that upset the heavily favored <em>Saving Private Ryan</em> for Best Picture. Based on Tom Stoppard’s Academy Award winning screenplay, <em><a href="https://www.scr.org/calendar/view?id=9302" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shakespeare in Love </a></em>has been adapted by Lee Hall for the stage and opens Saturday at South Coast Repertory Theatre in Costa Mesa. Shakespeare is battling writer’s block and through the love and inspiration of a woman named Viola. It all works out in the end, of course, and Judi Dench wins an Oscar.</p>

<p>Smokey Robinson – Cerritos Performing Arts Center</p>
<p>January 13</p>

<p>If you don’t think your kids will sit for a two-and-a-half hour version of <em>Aladdin</em>, then there’s an alternative available for you and it is free. Stevens Puppets presents a <a href="http://www.thewallis.org/show-info.php?id=362" target="_blank" rel="noopener">45-minute puppet version</a> of the classic tale on Sunday at the Wallis Annenberg Center in Beverly Hills. You won’t get the Disney songs from the animated film, but you will get a much shorter show for the little ones.</p>
<p>Remember the other <em>Aladdin</em> has just opened at the <a href="https://www.hollywoodpantages.com/events/detail/disneysaladdin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pantages Theatre</a>. <em>Small Mouth Sounds</em> just opened at the Broad Stage.</p>
