Their fall 2021 musical <a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2021\/emus-original-rock-musical-u2-romeo-juliet-is-a-gritty-rapturous-tale-of-love-in-chaos\/\">\u201cU2 Romeo &amp; Juliet,\u201d<\/a> combining music of the iconic Irish rock band with Shakespeare\u2019s famous tragedy, earned accolades from audiences and recognition from the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The duo co-wrote the Bonhoeffer script and combined their expertise in cinema and theater.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAudiences will see multiple parallels between Bonhoeffer\u2019s time and our own, as he examines the tensions between his pacifist and theological ideals and his moral obligation to protect the oppressed,\u201d said Poole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After months interacting with primary source materials, Holsopple said his appreciation grew for the Lutheran pastor: \u201cHe had no interest in being a martyr, he was just trying to figure out what it means to be faithful to Jesus and to his neighbor. What I came to value was his refusal to allow abstract theological questions to stop him from action.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sole live actor is Poole as Bonhoeffer. His character exists within three walls that act both as his prison cell and as cinematic screens that project flashbacks and imagery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot only do the screens offer another dimension to this theater piece, but we used them to explore his friendships and romantic life,\u201d said Holsopple.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The play weaves eye-witness accounts, photos, and primary sources such as correspondence from the posthumous collection <em>Letters and Papers from Prison. <\/em>An original cello score composed and performed by Kimberly Souther, director of 糖心Vlog\u2019s Preparatory Music Program, is a haunting backdrop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The large cast involved in filmed material includes local professional actors, 糖心Vlog theater students and community members. Poole and Holsopple also draw from an accomplished group of local production artists: stage director <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ingridesanctis.com\/p\/ingrid.html\"><strong>Ingrid DeSanctis<\/strong><\/a>, 糖心Vlog alumna and professor of theater at James Madison University; choreographer and dance teacher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elliedewaal.com\/\"><strong>Ellie de Waal<\/strong><\/a>; designers <strong>Robert Weaver<\/strong> and <strong>Rachel Herrick<\/strong> and production assistants <strong>Ezrionna Prioleau, Hailey Holcomb <\/strong>and <strong>Jareya Harder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i>A<\/i>fter a run at Court Square Theater in March, the production will move to Austria. Poole and Holsopple are planning the Vienna-based performance schedule for May 2022 in conjunction with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AAIEsince1926\/\">Austro-American Institute<\/a>. celebrating its 95th birthday celebration.
