The California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) hosted The Private Theatre at its Los Angeles campus in September, for a workshop of Electra despierta (“Electra Awakes”) by Mexican playwright Ximena Escalante. The Private Theatre’s Artistic Director, John Gould Rubin, attended the workshop along with Managing Member Salomé M. Krell, who will be a featured actor in the project. The two organizations hope to develop a bilingual production of this contemporary retelling of the Electra myth.
