Offstage Opportunities!

Hi everyone,
As you all know it takes a lot of people to put on a production. We have a wonderful group and it is growing! We want to be able to continue to provide even more opportunities to perform but we need more help on the non-acting side.

A number of you have indicated that you are happy to help out but not sure what these jobs entail. well…..
We would like to have a meeting on Monday January 12 at 6:30 at the Vault, to let you know the different jobs that are behind the scenes and then offer the opportunity to work with us to learn.
If you are unable to attend but would love to Volunteer off-stage, please contact Angela, Tash or Robert via our info email or in person.

The meeting will be followed with a read thru of our upcoming show “Nana’s Naughty Knickers”.

synopsis:

Bridget and her grandmother are about to become roommates. However, what Bridget saw as a unique opportunity to stay with her favorite nana in New York for the summer quickly turns into an experience she’ll never forget.
It seems her sweet grandma is running an illegal boutique from her apartment, selling handmade naughty knickers to every senior citizen in the five-borough area!
Will Bridget be able to handle all the excitement?
Will her nana get arrested – or worse – evicted?

Shakespeare Workshop: Appetizer Part 2
Facilitated by Jette Brown
Wednesday, June 4th 7pm - 9pm @ The Vault

Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of his most popular comedies and offers actors a huge range of interesting roles; authoritative leader, warrior queen, dictatorial father, frustrated lovers, enthusiastic amateur actors, and feuding magical creatures. They all converge in the forest and are transformed by their experiences.

Attendance is open to anyone prepared to experiment with speaking Shakespeare’s words and discover how the language reflects both the emotional state of the characters and their status.

Participants do not need to have attended the first workshop on May 13th.
