.....It hasn’t always been bliss for me to be in the rehearsal room as the Director....I still remember my first assistant directing experience, in Boston, as Ed Hall’s assistant for a show at the Huntington. I had to leave rehearsal early the second day due to anxiety.....Eventually, I had to have some therapy to develop strategies to deal with it.....Which I did, thanks to an incredible therapist.....

September 23: Deadline to register

for Fall Girls Ensemble Jr.!

This after-school class for girls aged 8-12 will develop and bring together all individual creative talents (acting, dancing, singing, music-playing, writing, and more!). You will learn the skills needed to put together an original show from the ground up. We will create scenes of all sorts using different theatre skills, including improvisation and movement. Our work will all be based on a theme that is important to YOU.

We will be collaborating with the IS 183 Art School art-making class to make our set and props, and present our combined creations at a final sharing for family and friends!
