Youth Onstage

7/13/2014

 
I'm back at the Castillo and I'm directing AGAIN!

Currently I'm volunteering as a director for their Youth Onstage program, which is dedicated to giving a free theatre education to students ages 14-21.  Castillo, which is a part of the larger organization of the All Stars, continues to impress me time and time again.  Their dedication to improving the community through free education and arts development is truly an inspiring thing to be a part of.  It's probably the most fulfilling job I've had in NYC thus far, teaching students what it means to be a part of an ensemble, the effect telling a story can have on an audience, and even overcoming the difficult task of making eye contact with a stranger, a bigger challenge than I thought it may be. 

And of course, I'm always happiest when I'm directing.

In other news, I'm going in for a couple of interviews this coming week, and fingers crossed, I'll have some exciting updates for what I'll be doing this fall and winter.  I'll maybe even get to take leave from my waitressing job and just focus on theatre for a while... but that's all I'm going to say about that.  I'd hate to jinx anything 

Thank you everyone for your love and support!  And I'll be keeping you updated!

PEW-ish Articles and Publicity

PEW-ish was a great success!  When we planned the event we had expected 50-80 people to attend.  Instead...we had 126.  What an incredible community, and what a great experience to be a part of.  A little more info about the night you can find out below...

Article published about the PEW-ish event that gives a special focus on the play I directed! The Covenant (Or Bagels and Butchery)

I'm also in the photo below!  I'm in the back row on the very left.
 
Another reviewer from The Jewish Daily, was pleasantly surprised by the reading, found The Covenant to be charming, appealing and incredibly relatable to himself even.

And a nice summary of the whole event from The Jewish Week.

Here's a great publicity video David had made that really highlights where the idea came from, and highlight's the playwrights and their inspiration.
