Conversations in a Changing World: An Educational Conference at the Sant Bani School
Sant Bani School is hosting this conference to bring together a community of people who believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives, and ultimately the world. Moving our children toward a new education and preparing them for the transforming world has been our aim for over three decades. Many of you are similarly engaged in this essential work. “Conversations in a Changing World” is an opportunity for people from varied backgrounds to share what they are doing through workshops and discussions. It is a time to be inspired by each other’s work as we are energized by imagining together.

Home > Events-Archived > Sant Bani Presents Woyzeck <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC ”-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd”>
Fast-moving, cinematic scene fragments, with eerie, surreal imagery, down-to-earth language, and unexpected humor rolled together in Sant Bani School’s presentation of the play Woyzeck by Georg Büchner, to be performed at the school Thursday, April 17 and Friday, April 18 at 7pm, and Saturday, April 19 at 2 pm. Directed by Craig Jaster, the play will be accompanied by live music composed by the director and conducted by Noelle Beaudin. Tickets are $5/$2.50 for students and seniors. Advance reservations may be made by calling the school at 934-4240.
Woyzeck is considered one of the most important plays in the history of German theater and in the history of the development of the modern theater. Written in 1836 but unfinished when the playwright died of typhus at age 23, the play is loosely based on a real case history, a murder and controversial trial of the early 1820’s, in which one Johann Christian Woyzeck was arrested for stabbing to death his lover. After being tried and sentenced to death, he told a visiting clergyman about visions he had seen and voices he had heard telling him to commit the murder. His defense lawyers lodged an appeal so that his mental state could be thoroughly examined, but in the end he was executed.
Senior Ethan Lawrence of Sanbornton, NH plays the part of the soldier Woyzeck, and junior Katharina Duenn of Køln, Germany, plays his ill-fated common-law wife, Marie. Though the world of the play is casually cruel, a strong sense of tenderness and empathy is written into Woyzeck’s descent into madness, and the two upper class characters, or rather caricatures, in the play – the Doctor (senior Ernest Tabiri, of Berekum, Ghana) and the army Captain (junior Ben Pollak of Laconia, NH) – provide comic relief.
In addition to the twelve high school actors, joining the action for this production will be four student musicians, playing original music on cello, violin, accordion, guitar and percussion, under the direction of Noelle Beaudin, who directs the New Hampshire Independent School of Music as well as teaches private piano lessons and music classes at Sant Bani.
Due to the serious nature of the play, some material in this production may not be suitable for younger children. Director Jaster indicates to expect something along the lines of a “PG13” film—a little earthy language, two brief scenes of violence, and some mature thematic elements.
Sant Bani School is an independent kindergarten through twelfth grade day school located in Sanbornton, NH. It was founded in 1973 with six students and has grown to over 175. No child is ever turned away for a family’s inability to pay; over 70 percent of Sant Bani students receive financial aid. For information call (603) 934-4240
