Auditions kick off fall theater season at Palomar College. First up: Aldous Huxley\u2019s \u201cBrave New World\u201d in the intimate black box theater.<\/p>\n

SAN MARCOS \u2014 As the first week of school came to a close on a recent Friday evening at Palomar College, students began filing one-by-one into the \u201cblack box\u201d theater on the south end of campus.<\/p>\n

They carried within their memories short monologues to perform for Michael Mufson, a Theater Arts professor whose task was to choose the 20 or so actors he would need to stage an adaptation of Aldous Huxley\u2019s \u201cBrave New World.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Minutes before giving her soliloquy, from \u201cPretentious Young Ladies,\u201d 20-year-old Shane Murphy said she has always liked \u201cBrave New World.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in a book club in high school and I think that\u2019s where it started,\u201d Murphy said. \u201cI\u2019m interested in theater that (addresses) subjects people are uncomfortable talking about. It\u2019s pushing people\u2019s boundaries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since it was published in 1932, \u201cBrave New World\u201d has been doing just that. Mufson, who spent the summer re-reading the novel and revising a 1970s-era stage adaptation for Palomar\u2019s theater, described it as one of two books that ushered in the genre of dystopian fiction.<\/p>\n

The other, he said, was George Orwell\u2019s \u201c1984.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn \u20181984,\u2019 order and stability are enforced through fear and pain and surveillance\u2014a police state. In \u2018Brave New World,\u2019 order and stability and conformity are enforced through pleasure and mind conditioning\u2014making everyone truly content, truly happy,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt really is very reflective of where our culture is going. It\u2019s this consumer society where everyone is kept in perpetual adolescence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Palomar College Theater Arts Professor Michael Mufson listens to a student’s monologue during auditions for “Brave New World” on Aug. 25.<\/p><\/div>\n

Staging the \u2018new world\u2019<\/h2>\n

Mufson knew before he started on the script that \u201cBrave New World\u201d would be staged in the \u201cblack box,\u201d which was built four years ago and has hosted a dozen productions.<\/p>\n

Roughly the dimensions of a square, with towering ceilings and tall black curtains draped around the walls, the space is a cross between a traditional theater and a dance studio.<\/p>\n

Every part of the rooms feels like part of the stage\u2014and that\u2019s the point, said Mufson.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe audience loves it. You really get that intimate connection with the actors\u2014you can see their expression, you can usually hear them pretty well, and you can feel their energy,\u201d he said. \u201cThe actors love it, too, because you get fed that energy that comes from having the audience all around you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Molly Faulkner, a Palomar dance instructor who is helping produce the show, recalled sitting inside the \u201cblack box\u201d to see last year\u2019s production of \u201cFacing Our Truth,\u201d about the killing of Trayvon Martin.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiterally, I was sitting almost on the stage,\u201d said Faulkner. \u201cTo have that kind of visceral experience was astounding. You\u2019re in it with the actors, at that point.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mufson said he is thrilled to combine those dynamics with the story of \u201cNew World.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor this show, the word is \u2018immersion\u2019\u2014people are going to feel like they\u2019ve entered into a whole other world,\u201d he said, adding that, in a traditional theater, \u201cthe world is there on the stage, and you\u2019re sitting out here, from a distance, watching it through a frame. Here, you walk in, and you\u2019re in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adapting an antiquated future<\/h2>\n

\u201cBrave New World\u201d received a major theatrical adaptation in London two years ago, but Mufson said that script was unavailable. (He even tracked down the writer\u2019s agent in London to try accessing it for the Palomar show.)<\/p>\n

He ended up with a script that he suspects was written for a high school production in the 1970s: \u201cI\u2019ve done a lot of tweaking to it myself. A lot of my changes were just pulling Huxley\u2019s dialog and language right out of the novel. It will be more true to the novel in a number of ways.\u201d<\/p>\n

Writing 86 years ago, Huxley stretched his imagination as far into the future as he could, but he still couldn\u2019t imagine some of the marvels that would be commonplace at the turn of the century.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m trying to be really respectful of Aldous Huxley, but we\u2019re making some little changes to make it feel like a contemporary future, rather than an antiquated future, because it was written in the 1930s,\u201d said Mufson.<\/p>\n

Still, set in the year 2540, the story is eerily reminiscent of life in 2017, Mufson said.<\/p>\n

Among the themes that resonate with modern audiences is the psychological conditioning that the book\u2019s characters receive through subliminal messages played to them in their sleep.<\/p>\n

To capture that effect, Mufson will project images on large screens hung on three sides inside the theater: \u201cThe projections are going to be like 30-second to one-minute advertisements full of this kind of messaging. Our access to the technology for the production is going to go a long way toward evoking the world of Huxley\u2014even though Huxley couldn\u2019t have imagined video projections.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut he\u2019s got this futuristic world, and the quality of that world is very similar to what we\u2019re experiencing right now,\u201d added Mufson. \u201cPart of his critique is that there\u2019s so much opportunity to amuse yourself and constantly be entertained that it leaves no time to think\u2014and really no desire to think.\u201d<\/p>\n

If that sounds painfully familiar, Mufson suggests, then you might want to make plans to attend one of the seven performances that begin on September 29.<\/p>\n

Mufson and his cast will spend up to four hours rehearsing, five days a week, and their performances run through October 8.<\/p>\n

\"Palomar

Palomar College student Justin Hoover’s Shakespeare monologue during auditions.<\/p><\/div>\n

Vying for a role<\/h2>\n

All of this began with hours of auditions over the last weekend in August. Thirty hopefuls gathered inside a classroom adjacent to the \u201cblack box.\u201d Wearing jeans and a \u201cMake art, not war\u201d sweatshirt, Mufson gave some opening remarks in the courtyard, then retreated into the theater to hear a dizzying variety of monologues.<\/p>\n

A number of the auditionees had already acted for Mufson at Palomar.<\/p>\n

Among the familiar faces was Justin Hoover, 22, a Theater Arts major who delivered his first Shakespeare monologue that night.<\/p>\n

Fifteen minutes into auditions, Mufson seemed right at home discussing Shakespeare. He and Hoover parsed the line, \u201cIf music be the food of love, play on;\/Give me excess of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Shakespeare, you can\u2019t guess\u2014not even a single word,\u201d Mufson said, asking Hoover to try again.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat choice, doing Shakespeare for this,\u201d he added. (A main character in \u201cBrave New World\u201d is heavily influenced by Shakespeare\u2019s complete works.)<\/p>\n

Later, wearing a floral dress and white tennis shoes, with silver hair and a warm smile, Shane Murphy was nervous but also excited. She walked into the theater in front of Mufson, said her lines, and then took his direction and gave it a second try, on the spot. Mufson was impressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, what\u2019s powerful about the theater is that it\u2019s one of the few places left in our culture where people come together face to face for a shared experience of what it means to be human,\u201d Mufson said. \u201cWe experience it right here. The pain, the laughter, the sorrow, the betrayal\u2014whatever it is. It reminds us of what we all have in common.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
