For 16 years the Theatre Forum has invited audiences to come for a long weekend at Festival Hill to explore the western world’s rich dramatic heritage. During this time Theatre Forums have addressed many national styles of theatre: Russian, Irish, Scandinavian, French and Austrian. Alternatively, Forums have sometimes focused on influential writers: Shakespeare, Moliere, Gilbert and Sullivan, Noel Coward. They have always brought distinguished artists and lectures to perform, demonstrate, or speak, and have sought out and presented lost works of dramatic literature: those not often produced, or lost from view.

The 16th Annual Theatre Forum, to take place November 1-3, 2013, is called The Rhine and the Lorelei, and focuses on Treasures of the German Theatre from Goethe to Brecht. The Forum will explore, through lectures, talks, and performances, the rich heritage and influence of German drama.

Presenters include distinguished theatre historian and author Felicia Londre from Kansas City; opera singer and musicologist Vern Sutton from Minneapolis; artist and designer Tom Foral from New York city; as well as Houstonians Ann Thompson and Kate Pogue.  The featured event in this year’s forum will be a performance of Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht’s The Seven Deadly Sins. Mezzo-soprano Sonja Bruzauskas will be joined by dancer Garland Goodwin Wilson, members of the Houston Chamber Choir and players from the Greenbriar Consortium in this rare presentation of the last collaboration between Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht.
