A Time to Perform in March
By Kaye Osborn
The process to choose a play begins many months before the actual performances. A script is chosen, auditions are announced, show is cast and rehearsals begin. The director directs, the choreographer teaches the dances, and the musical director enhances the songs. Actors memorize their blocking, their words, their dances and lyrics. The show begins to have a flow. The performers gel, becoming a supportive family! Excited about performing for an audience. This is a normal evolution for any theatrical production. Lakewood Youth Theater, the experience is enriched with Deaf and Hard-of-hearing children! Sign language interpreters bridge the communication for these performers. The final song is signed for our Deaf friends and community! Connie Ambrosia-Wann and Penny Hansen will interpret Opening Night. Very few productions offer the Deaf accessibility to a live show. If you would like to see an interpreted musical, please come see Shakespeare Comes to Calamity Creek on Friday, March 6 at 6:30 PM at Lakewood School.
Here is what is happening in our neck of the woods!
