Found An Acting Family This Holiday Season In Little Women

12/3/2022

0 Comments

 

November 11th to December 3rd

Picture
This holiday season, Angelique was able to play onstage again with her Cincinnati Shakespeare Company family as Beth in Little Women.
 
Beth is so similar to her in so many different ways. The more she discovered about Beth, the more she realized what kindred spirits they really were. And what a wonderful (and incredibly difficult) experience that really was. Those lines between character and actor blurring--especially in a version of this show that deals so heavily with grief and familial loss--were hard to shake off at the end of every night. But she believes this experience was necessary, and so important to grow as a person and as an artist. 
 
She is forever grateful for this experience
  • For a show that gave her the opportunity to explore these feelings and this different side of herself
  • For an amazing artistic family onstage, that supported her, and laughed offstage with her, and even invited her to celebrate Thanksgiving with them as this was the first Thanksgiving she ever spent away from home.
  • For her director Jemma, who pushed her and trusted her more than she trust herself.

Thank you.

 
And to Beth. She has learned so much from you. The conscious of the family. But the thing that she will never forget is the line:
 
“You get the privilege of growing up, so use it.”
 
Which she was able to say every single night. Life is a privilege; it is not a guarantee. And every day that we are alive is a blessing. It is a gift. So how are you going to use it?

A Part of the Rolling-World Premiere of "it's not a trip it's a journey" by Charly Evon Simpson

This is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of show. It's a show that centers Black Femmes and our experiences. It is a show that Angelique will never forget. It is also a show that allowed Angelique to play a Black Woman onstage, a character originally written to be Black: something that she has never done before. Frankie is both so similar to me and so wildly different. She is complex, funny, insecure, a little mean, and contains multitudes. And it is not often that Black characters are like that, that they are allowed to be that. To be difficult and emotional, to deal with mental health, friend, and love issues. To laugh and cry and everything in between.

And then to be surrounded by these hilarious and talented Black women. Angelique has absolutely loved being in the room, working and laughing with Ariel, Jasimine, and A.J every day.

This is a show that you don’t want to miss!​

June 24th to August 7th, 2022


​Angelique took a job working as an actor for the Camden Shakespeare Festival this summer. She was playing Celia in their "Summer of Love" 1960s musical production of As You Like It. And Jeezum Crow, did she love it!

Whether it was performing outdoors right across from the Camden Harbor, meeting amazing Mainers through the local hosts she was staying with, or just taking in all of the sights and adventures Camden had to offer, Angelique enjoyed every second of her time working in Maine this summer!

Angelique is Living Out Her Wildest Dreams by Being in A Production of Pride and Prejudice, Her Favorite Book!

May 20th to June 19th, 2022

Picture
It is a truth universally acknowledge that Pride and Prejudice is Angelique's favorite book of all time. And the opportunity to play Jane Bennet and Miss Anne de Bourgh in this story was something she had never thought possible. Let alone in this 8 person, wickedly funny production at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company. 

This production has been an absolute dream come true! Kate Hamill's adaptation of the story brings out the comedic and satirical nature of the book in a way that hasn't been done in any adaptation Angelique has ever seen! This story is still sweepingly romantic while also bringing to the forefront themes of gender and a woman's role in society, then and now. 

Angelique is enjoying every minute of being able to bring this story to audiences young and old in this fresh and funky adaptation.

Ophelia in Cincinnati Shakespeare Company's Production of Hamlet!

February 25th to March 20th, 2022

​Ophelia is the most difficult role that Angelique has ever played. Which is crazy because she had the opportunity to play her one time before in college. Her first Shakespeare role in college.

Coming back to this role 4 years later, after doing 10 more Shakespeare plays and learning A LOT, she wanted to do her justice. She has grown so much in the two months that she has worked on this show. She learned so much about herself and learned from the wonderful people that she was in the room with and have the privilege to watch shine every single night.​
Picture
And while she knows that what makes theatre so great is its ephemerality. That plays “are the abstract and brief chronicles of the time.” This one is going to live in her memory for a long time.

Angelique served as the Intimacy Director for Cincinnati Shakespeare Company's production of Ma Rainey's Black Bottom by August Wilson.

She is fiercely passionate about advocacy for artists and spreading consent practices through theatre and circus communities. She couldn’t be prouder of the opportunity to empower artists with this work. 

Angelique hopes that this is just the beginning of her work as an intimacy director.

October 8th, 2021 to November 13th, 2021



​In August 2021, Angelique was cast as Benvolio in CSC's production of Romeo and Juliet. This production will serve as the company's grand re-opening of their Mainstage season. 

She has enjoyed the opportunity to work with Darnell again as he was her director for both touring productions of Macbeth and has loved laughing and joking around with Crystian Wiltshire and Geoffrey Barnes--Romeo and Mercutio, respectively.  

Angelique looks forward to the next six weeks of learning and growing with the cast.
Mackenzie Manley of City Beat had this to say of Angelique's performance:

"played by Angelique Archer, Romeo’s cousin Benvolio radiated kindness; she infuses every scene with a sense of tender calm."
