2009 :
I am done with showcases @ Theatre UAF : updates -- relevant information.
[ This article or section is written like a personal reflection or essay and may require cleanup. (W) ] it should be written on all my pages! --
"Please help improve it by rewriting it in an encyclopedic style."
* After so many years of webbing I cannot change the nature of my webpages -- they are what they were from the start; notes, thoughts, points I make for myself for classes and productions. Do they have an independent existence? Maybe, somewhere in the future...

Summer 2005: ANTOHINS XX: family and the century (Russian).
Maybe the first my web-show (web only), in principle, using the web as a media. [ description in Engl. ] Virtual Theatre and The Russian Pages (new pages?)
* Notes for Russian readers? in Russian about the WEB and SHOWS directories? Where? (RAT) "Russian American Theatre"? Back, ten years later, now in cyber space?
Since 1998 I try to keep my notes on the web, but only in 1999 I began to make directories for the shows I direct. Not so much as director's prompt books, more like the notes. For myself and for those who work on the show. I do not have some special format, I try a new organization every time.
At first, "3 Sisters," I thought that this will be my only online Production Notes, but soon I realize that those director's notes could be helpful for student-directors. If the webpages could be organized into the showcases...
So, I had to rethink the method of arrangement, without loosing the original purpose. The third aim is educational too. To use the scenes and monologues for acting and directing classes. Well, I teach THR331 Fundamentals of directions in the Spring 2002 -- and the pages are not organized and linked in right order!
The "HamletDreams" is the most recent show (Fall 2001): shows.vtheatre.net/hamlet
Since this year I am a faculty-advisor to the Student Drama Association (responsible for Winter Shorts, student produced shows), which I iniciate 12 years ago, I would write a short summary for our (faculty) production mettings.

"Chekhov: Take 2" -- "Four Jokes + One Funeral", 1904 Anaton's death (new): last day, last hour. Six years since I directed "The Three Sisters" (why now and why the farces?)
Annensky about Chekhov (in Russian, the summer read), I envy the style -- very personal, almost if he himself wrote the play, as if he knows them, Masha, Olga, Irina... The secondary characters became the heroes, the jerks, the types from the comedies -- and we got the tragedy, Beckett only finished this journey.
