Beowulf Alley Theatre’s Presents ActingKids@the Alley After School
(March 30, 2009-Tucson, AZ) Beowulf Alley Theatre Company, 11 South 6th Avenue, Downtown Tucson, is launching its youth education programs in April beginning with after school programs for two age groups:
Introduction to Theatre
Ages 9-12 on Mondays, Apr. 20-May 18
Ages 13-16 on Tuesdays, Apr. 21-May 19
3:30-6:00 p.m., at the Theatre, 11 South 6th Ave.
A reception for each group of prospective students and their parents to introduce Sheldon Metz, tour the facility and learn more about the programs will be held at the theatre on Monday, April 13. For ages 9-12, the gathering is 5:15-6:45 p.m. and for ages 13-16, at 7:00-8:15 p.m.
These challenging and lively, 5-week introductory training programs are designed to teach the basics of theatre: positions of and movement on the stage, technical equipment, collaboration and courtesies of theatre, discipline and focus, breathing, voice and movement, vocal projection, self-confidence, and critical thinking in a fun and exciting atmosphere. Students learn how to unlock their imaginations and emotions, develop character through discovery and play. Students are on the stage most of the time with occasional visits from working theatre artists. Scenes are performed and constructive peer criticism techniques are learned.
Sheldon Metz has been active in theatre for over 56 years, in Chicago and Los Angeles, ever since playing Hansel at the age of six. He is an award-winning director and set designer as well as an actor and instructor of acting and directing. Gordon Davidson calls Sheldon his "go to guy." Sheldon founded and served as Executive Director of A.C.C.T., The Association of Commercial and Community Theatres, the West Coast Theatre Conference (Los Angeles) and The Theatre Conference (New York). He also served as a Producing Director for the Playwrights Kitchen Ensemble (PKE), under the Artistic Direction of Dan Lauria.
