Rexburg Community Theatre's ‘A Christmas Carol' is showing at Madison Junior High School this week.

We would jazz walk a mile or so to see this show. By Anna Ouyang Moench Directed by Les Waters Christmas, but not as you know it. Leave the little ones at home and gather ‘round for a very Playhouse take on Christmas. Your Local Theater Presents: A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens, Again is a laugh-out-loud funny and heartfelt story for theatre lovers and holiday enthusiasts alike. Eddie is a young actor, fresh out of Juilliard and ready to make his mark on the American Theatre. His dreams are within reach… sort of. First he's just going to do this regional production of A Christmas Carol. As the years pass, Eddie finds himself back at the same local theatre, over and over and over again. Much remains the same: the play, the stage manager, the green room — though Eddie finds himself in different costumes as he ages through the male roles over the course of his career. Anna Ouyang Moench is not just an award-winning playwright. Her work as a screenwriter includes Apple TV+'s Severance and the second season of the multi-award-winning Netflix show, Beef. Her comedic and incisive style is on display in this moving new play; a love letter to actors, artists and dreamers of all professions who make sacrifices large and small in service of their work… and ultimately wonder whether it was worth it.

In the eighth episode of Season 8 of the Meet the Mancunian Podcast, host Deepa Thomas-Sutcliffe welcomes Danny Ryder, actor and creative producer of Reload Theatre. They discuss Danny's passion for theatre, his diverse acting career, and the formation of Reload Theatre. Danny highlights the 'One Play One Day' initiative, an innovative theatre concept that challenges actors, directors, and writers to create and perform plays within 24 hours while supporting various charities. The episode explores the impact of community theatre on budding actors and the importance of creating platforms for unsung talents. Danny emphasises self-awareness in acting and shares insights into the life of a community-focused actor. The conversation wraps up with Danny offering advice for others looking to start similar initiatives and his future plans for Reload Theatre.   In Danny's own words, “It's a really good challenge for actors specifically to learn a script so quick and get up on stage and do it. Some never want to do it again, but they're always happy they did it. They always say it was a good experience and they're happy they did it. But for some people that don't want to do it again, then we've got people that do it repeatedly, that want to do it all the time.” #Community #Theatre #GM #manchester #SocialImpact #NonProfit   Did you know:  ·     Community theatre can be a social development tool that helps build community spirit, artistic skills and social capital. ·     Community theatre can reflect the personal experiences and difficulties of participants through storytelling and improvisation. ·     Community theatre is often staged in public places, schools, prisons, traditional meeting spaces or other institutions rather than traditional playhouses.   Key resource: One Play One Day   Time stamps of key moments in the podcast episode & transcript:   (01:34) Discovering a Passion for Theatre (02:02) Screen Productions and TV Roles (02:42) Founding Reload Theatre (04:07) The Concept of One Play One Day (05:26) Community Impact and Charity Work (06:57) Challenges and Opportunities in Theatre (12:56) Advice for Aspiring Theatre Creators (16:02) Signature Questions (18:29) Contact and Final Thoughts Listen to the episode and read the transcript on www.meetthemancunian.co.uk

Today's guests are Andrea de la Cruz and Nathaniel Williams, leaders in the area of educational courses and the youth movement at the Goetheanum, located in Dornach, Switzerland. The Goetheanum is a remarkable building, a masterpiece of modern architecture nestled in the green foothills near Basel. It is also an organization that lies at the heart of anthroposophy, the spiritual and cultural movement flowing from the life and work of Rudolf Steiner, founder of the Waldorf schools. As such, the Goetheanum is home to a variety of artistic, scholarly, and social activities, as well as educational programs for youth and adults of all ages. In this episode, Andrea and Nathaniel share their own stories and describe the remarkable international community that gathers in Dornach for these programs, as well as how the anthroposophical youth movement manifests elsewhere in Europe and around the world.Andrea de la Cruz -Born in 1989 in Madrid, Spain, Andrea has been working with young people and in adult education in international settings since 2011. She coordinates the Studies & Further Education Department of the General Anthroposophical Section at the Goetheanum, Switzerland, where she develops educational activities on basic Anthroposophy together with the faculty team. In 2015 she took part in the Goetheanum's Anthroposophical Studies as a student, which marked a turning point in her life as she encountered the works of Rudolf Steiner. She then joined the Youth Section and worked as a youth researcher and facilitator of informal/experiential learning programmes from 2017-2022. Andrea holds two Bachelor of Arts degrees in Community Theatre, and Drama and Theatre Arts from Edinburgh and London, has a Waldorf Teacher Certification and is currently completing her MA in Pedagogical Innovation.Nathaniel WIlliams -Originally from the state of Alabama, Nathaniel has served as the leader of the Youth Section of the Goethenum since 2023.

We sat down with Director Todd Brooks,  Stage Manager Krista Freimuth, and Actor Adam Fulbright to talk about Chanticleer's upcoming production "A Chorus Line."  This is a cohesive cast who are working hard but having the time of their lives, which of course, is everything community theatre should be.  This is going to be a fun production, with a live orchestra, much dancing and singing with all the classic "A Chorus Line" tunes and dance moves! Though "A Chorus LIne" was also adapted into a popular movie in 1985, for most people the story is best told on stage. The original musical was written in 1975 by Marvin Hamlisch, with lyrics by Edward Kleban, and directed by Michael Bennett.  It won many Tony Awards, a Drama Desk Award, a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and in 1984 won a Tony for longest running musical on Broadway.  (It is currently the 7th longest running musical to date).  The "Book" (librettists of the spoken, non-sung dialogue, and storyline of a musical play) was written by James Kirkwood, Jr. and Nicholas Dante. The story is based on true stories and is set on the stage of a Broadway theater, and centered on seventeen Broadway dancers auditioning for roles on a chorus line. "A Chorus Line" runs May 9-12th and 16-19th at Chanticleer Community Theatre at PACE.  This is a great opportunity to see this prize winning musical!  CHANTICLEER at PACE / CONTACT INFO:  Website:  https://www.paceartsiowa.org/theater/chanticleer-community-theater Ticket Link: https://www.showpass.com/a-chorus-line-4/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/chanticleertheater  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paceartsia/?hl=en  Twitter: https://twitter.com/PACEartsiowa  Chanticleer Community Theatre / Pace Arts Iowa 1001 S 6th Street, Council Bluffs, IA HOW TO LISTEN TO THE PLATTE RIVER BARD PODCAST: Listen at https://platteriverbard.podbean.com or anywhere you get your podcasts.

A delightful conversation with several members of CDA ACT (Celebrating Different Abilities through Art and Community Theatre), a theatre program that provides adults with physical and/or developmental disabilities the experience of participating in live theater.  We talk to the director, some of the actors, and several of the other creative volunteers who are working on their next production, Elf the Musical, Jr which will run Nov 2-5 at the Midge and Pepper Smock Theater at the Kroc Center in Coeur d'Alene. Our guests included Director Jamie Sciarrio, Crew Members Paul Sciarrio and Janean Jorgensen, Shadows Ray Krueger and Becca Basta, and Actors Logan Basta and Madison Bronson. For more information on tickets, how to get involved and general information about this amazing company, visit cdaact.com.

In this one, Cody talks to Matt Fernandez of Anchorage Community Theatre. Matt's association with ACT goes back to before he was even born. His mom was involved in ACT and was the Assistant Director of the play Bus Stop in 1968. He actually still has the playbill for that show. Fast-forward to 1989 and he's watching his first show. It's Oliver Twist, it's an ACT production and his brother is in it. Three years later, in 1992, Matt personally got involved with ACT. He's 12 and the Alaska theatre legend Bob Pond gives him a non-speaking role in A Christmas Carol. He got the non-speaking role because he stuttered throughout the entire audition, but Bob casted him anyway — Bob had a tendency to recognize when someone needed a role, either to be part of the theatre community or to boost their self-esteem. The next role Bob gave Matt was in Inherit the Wind. It was a speaking role and he had the opening monologue. To this day, Matt says it was the best speech therapy he's ever had.   The history of Anchorage Community Theatre is important to Matt, mostly because there's a lot there. It's been around since the 1950s, before Alaska was even a state. That's 70 years of local theatre and community. The longstanding tradition of military personnel involvement is a big part of its history. It goes back to 1953, during the Korean War, when ACT's founder Frank Brink was stationed in Kodiak. He was a naval officer and he was also running Anchorage Little Theatre, so he decided to see if the theater-writing team Rodgers and Hammerstein would allow him to do South Pacific, a musical about World War II. They did, and thus began a heritage of military involvement in ACT that continues to this day. To solidify his point about history, Matt talks about a photo taken after the 1964 Good Friday earthquake. In it, the streets of 4th Avenue are split and collapsed, shops are destroyed, and above it all is a banner advertising “Our Town,” an ACT play.

In Episode 72, Scott's topics include: With yet another Government Shutdown looming, the Alameda Food Bank is prepared to lend a hand to the Coast Guard. This weekend we'll see if the Portola Festival has managed to solve last year's noise problem. Public Power Week is here, and that means rebates and tips on reducing your power consumption. EBMUD sets an ambitious goal for carbon neutrality. The Webster tube has some overnight closures coming up. The Island Bowl goes to the Alameda Hornets in a big way. Our own Steve Gorman gets up close and personal with a bear, and The Food Bank Players emphasize the Community in Community Theatre. Plus weekend events of interest. Support the show• AlamedaPost.com • Podcast • Events • Contact • Facebook • Instagram • Threads • BlueSky • Reddit • Mastodon • NextDoor • YouTube •

Hang out as we discuss the upcoming season that SEACT has in store for us. Jennefer and Billy stopped by to have an in depth conversation about the arts and their importance in developing character in all of us. #bewhatshappening and soak up the good vibes that the SEACT posse brought to the studio!

We had to stay on our toes to riff with Cristian LaBar from the Community Theatre of Howell's Improv troop (and keep from barfing at the mention of vomit cheese). Then we talked about the school board shenanigans in Brighton Area Schools with Rich Perlberg before blowing out. the candles for Bonnie's birthday.
