百老匯、外百老匯小劇場----就像我們的《灰闌記》
首演相片花絮--首次登陸貴壇---還請各位多多包涵---有空請來捧場。。。。
我負責做舞台和服裝造型設計---敬請各位批評指教！---江上一郎 頓首
==================================================================
上麵的圖是-----
包公---陽建平（BILL ENGST)“華籍”美人---1955年出生在中國的美國人，第一次回美國在1977年，之前，與中國大多數青年一樣，去了農村，目前，常以雙語支持人活躍與中美社區和舞台--他家庭的傳奇性故事--獲得他的同意，我會在將來披露。。。昨天他的演出，獲得全場熱烈的掌聲。。。
======================================================================
酒家店主---岩崎麻由（MAYU IWASAKI)
來自日本，留學澳洲和美國，主修舞台和電影，在國家表演藝術學院受訓。她的“媽媽桑”表演，非常稱職--同時，還兼演了衙役一角，是全劇男士們的“豔遇”，我幫她做造型給了一段誇張的大紅花---樂得她投懷送抱啦。。。。
==========================================
南龍--電工學士，醉心藝術，在藝術學院專研表演藝術。
他的失魂落魄 般的小緊張不穩定，正合了傻乎乎的“太守”個性。想不到昨晚首演他沒忘胡子也沒忘詞--倒是老演員忘了一句台詞--他還能接上！
==========================================
一對九百年前有奸情的男女，不惜謀親夫、強奪孩子。。。
關淑媚，能歌善舞，來自廣西實驗話劇團。表演經驗非常豐富，將一個心狠手辣、為愛情不顧一切的貴婦人演得入木三分。。。
她的情人--太守的師爺“趙令史”來自印度的SAJEEY PILLAI是個工程學士，演過莎士比亞話劇，在紐約戲劇學院受訓。他將一個好色貪財、無情無義、知法犯法的小官演得妙不可言又非常自然，是全場的笑星和亮點。

Joanna Chan, Artistic Director of Yangtze Repertory Theater of America, has adapted "The Chalk Circle" by Li QianFu into a multilingual play with arias in the style of Cantonese Opera. This 13th century Yuan dynasty Chinese classical Zaju verse story is primarily known in the West as the inspiration of Brecht's "Caucasian Chalk Circle." It recounts a celebrated court case of Judge Bao of the Song Dynasty, a magistrate who stood above the corruption of his time and is still revered throughout the Chinese speaking world for his wisdom and fairmindedness. Yangtze Repertory Theater of America will present the world premiere of the adaptation, directed by Chan, May 3 to 20 at Theater for the New City, 155 First Avenue, NYC. The production will star Mr. Denver Chiu (of Hong Kong) in the female role of the heroine, performing her arias in Cantonese Opera style. He is credited with having single-handedly revived the art form of men playing female roles in Cantonese Opera, which has been absent from the world stage for over 60 years. The arias have lyrics and choreography by Chen ShaoMei (of GuangZhou, China). The play will be performed in English, Mandarin and Cantonese with Chinese and English supertitles.
