Early 2015 marks the continuation of San Juan Community Theatre’s popular live streaming series National Theatre Live and The Met: Live in HD.

National Theatre will transmit JOHN to San Juan on Jan. 2, 7 p.m. The production authentically depicts real-life stories, combining movement and spoken word to create an intense and moving theatrical experience.

Internationally renowned DV8 Physical Theatre is behind this powerful new production that started when DV8’s Artistic Director, Lloyd Newson, asked Frank and direct questions about sex and love to over 50 men.

One of those men was named John. Thus emerged the extraordinarily touching tale of crime, drug use, and the struggle to survive.

The production has adult themes and may not be suitable for some ages. Eighteen years and older is the recommended audience.

Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 student reserved, and $18 for members at the door.

One of opera’s most cherished comedies comes alive in The Met: Live in HD series at SJCT Jan. 4, at 2 p.m.

The Met’s Music Director James Levine conducts Wagner’s epic human comedy, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, back at the Met for the first time in eight years. A superb international cast leads this charming, magisterial celebration of the power of music and art.

Set in the sixteenth century, it depicts a group of Renaissance “master singers” whose song contest unites a city.

The opera’s running time is six hours, with two intermissions.  To accommodate the length, SJCT will offer additional unique menu items in concessions.

Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for SJCT members and $10 for student reserved. For more info and to purchase tickets visit www.sjctheatre.org.
