First, there is “Camino Real”: a world full of temptations that bribes its inhabitants with greed, violence, brutal ways and inescapable habits. The evil ways of this world force its people to stay.Then there is Kilroy, a newcomer to this world who discovers the secrets of “Camino Real.”When Kilroy steps into this nightmare, he plans to elude the corruption and battle the world of “Camino Real” himself.”Kilroy. One name. An American symbol often seen in graffiti,” David Berry, a sophomore musical theater major at Point Park University and Kilroy in “Camino Real” said. “It was a symbol most known by residents living during WWII. [It has] no significance other than its truly American origin.”The character of Kilroy in “Camino Real” is portrayed as loser and failed hero while he clashes with other famous literary characters such as Lord Byron, an English poet, and Don Quixote, a knight-errant in search of adventure..”Camino Real,” a play by playwright Tennessee Williams, has become a form of mainstream theater.A large cast appear in the dreams of Kilroy, a young American visitor to a poor, Spanish-speaking town. The play goes through a series of bizarre, logic-defying events.”I chose this play because this is very different type of Tennessee Williams play,” George Ferencz, director of Point Park University’s “Camino Real” said. “This is highly experimental, which was not well received in 1953 through 1960, but in years later, people are starting to look at it again.”Ferencz a native of Brooklyn, N.Y. has been directing for 40 years and also works at the La Mama theater, which practices experimental style. Ferencz believes he is “uniquely qualified” to direct this production.Caitlin Roper, stage manager of Point Park’s production of “Camino Real” has had a “wonderful experience” working on this play.”It was great to be able to work with George Ferencz from “La Mama” and hav[e] his unique perspective and extensive experience,” Roper said. “Having an outside director come in and try new things is really fun.””Camino Real” is a singular production that has fallen into the hands of Point Park, allowing theater students to step outside of the proverbial box.While the play unravels, literary characters such as Casanova and Don Quixote mesh with the world of Camino Real and Kilroy, developing a suspenseful plot played on an imaginative stage in which Ferencz describes as “visual surrealism.””The stage is in a runway set up with the audience on either side. This is one configuration that has never been done at the playhouse,” Roper said. “It’s interesting to see how it changes the feel of the theater space.””Camino Real” takes place in Studio Theater at the Pittsburgh Playhouse, one of the smaller theaters at the venue.Ferencz is “very impressed” with Kilroy and the five other Point Park leads and has mutual feelings for the director himself”[‘Camino Real’ is] an incredible journey unlike any other. I don’t say that lightly,” Berry said. “Not only is it an honor to work with an outside director, but to work under someone with such an impact in experimental theatre, I feel [as if] I’ve learned so much.Although Berry was present in the May 2010 production of  “On the Dark Side of the Moon,” which was a part of the Playhouse’s children’s series, Kilroy is his first starring role at Point Park University.”Camino Real” debuts at the Pittsburgh Playhouse on Craft Ave. in the Oakland district tonight, Nov. 18 for a preview show at 8 p.m.”The show is definitely different from any show I’ve seen at Point Park,” Roper said. “I love the theatricality of it and how the design elements and pure talent of the cast come together to make something magical on stage.”
