Hello Theater Workshop Community, I hope this letter finds you well and enjoying the beautiful weather we have this Fall. Thank you to so many who have reached out in support of the program. For 25 years Theater Workshop and the creative community have been my priority and purpose. The connections and shared memories are precious. This Fall we are accepting registration for a 9-week session beginning on Wed. Oct 16 taught by Jacob Burns and Muriel Baillie. This is an important opportunity to develop the stage and acting skills that are useful and enriching for young performers. The exercises, routines, structure and vocabulary will provide a curriculum that is the basis of professional theater training. Jacob has been a valued member of Theater Workshop since he was in the 2nd grade; now he is a teacher at NES. Jacob knows from his own experiences the positive influence that Theater Workshop has in building self-esteem, confidence and community. This Fall session will teach the foundations of acting to students new to Theater Workshop and to those who have experienced performing in the past. I recommend this session to all students grades 2-6. This is an important part of a plan which will inform us as to how and if to move forward in the Spring. I want to address some of the questions and rumors circling about Theater Workshop this year. You may not be aware that I have had some health and mobility issues since last Spring. This has impacted my energy and physical strength. I am recovering and improving but still unable to work at this time. It is this reality along with the loss of outside funding that has put the Spring production on hold. And, as always, parent involvement and volunteering is crucial to the success of the program. The school’s administration is meeting with me to help find a way to partner. It is a wait-and-see situation for all of us. While the Spring session stays in question, I have learned over the past 2 years to stay focused on the present. Let’s make this Fall session meaningful and wonderful. Kindest Regards, Stacey Fix |
