IATI Theater seeks NEA funds to support artist fees, production and direct touring costs for “TRIPLE PLAY SERVICES TO LATINO COMMUNITIES”. This program seeks to provide a bridge between artists and under-served communities in the Northeastern United States. The program combines 3 different services with the goal to engage our communities in the performing arts while providing artists a platform to fulfil their dreams and improve their skills. Our goal for the next fiscal year is to bring professionally-produced full-length children’s plays (35 presentations), educational workshops (over 100 sessions), and staged readings to Latino communities (10 new plays) throughout the Northeastern United States, especially in areas with little or no arts
On February 26th 2016, I went out with my friend to saw this event. It was the first time of my life to be in such production. I was not a fan of theaters. I thought they are boring. Now, my mind has changed because the play was amazing. So, on the next day,
“Audiences today want a real experience in their live performance, because they can get great script based entertainment at home, through various new media sources. Traditional theatre, which appeals on a mental, and hopefully also emotional level, has not been enough to compete with other media, and audiences have been declining. Physical theatre, by contrast appeals to the audience on a physical and emotional level, providing a much more immediate experience than traditional theatre” ~ (Artmedia Publishing in Zen Zen Zo’s “The Tempest” Teacher’s Notes)
As El Paso has an eclectic culture, it has a variety of entertainment opportunities, including museums, musical events and theater productions.

For our critiquing assignment in our Introduction to Stagecraft 1, I ventured to downtown Toronto, to a small indie theatre called, The Unit 102 Theatre. There I saw the production of MISS; written by Dora Award-nominated playwright Michael Ross Albert who wrote such works as Tough Jews, The Spadina Avenue Gang with the Storefront Theatre. The set takes place in the aftermath of a shocking accident in a boarding school classroom, the story explores the tenuous connection between a high school teacher, her fiance, and a troubled student whose lives have been irrevocably changed by tragedy caused by a miscarriage, an affair, and the fear of the consequences that are not yet revealed, and finally, murder. This is a one act showdown between three
CTC funds allowed IATI Theater to bring a new children’s play as part of our program SERVICES TO LATINO COMMUNITIES.

The case titled The Theatre Budget was a short journal about a frustrated Vice-President of a performing
In conclusion Theatre Cedar Rapids, in my opinion, is making a very good. The decision to postpone the play and try to recast some of the parts in the play is very good and I think it will help people in the deaf and ASL communities like this production of Tribes much more than right now. I also believe that it will make the ASL and deaf communities feel like their voices and opinions were heard and
Monday, April 10, 2017 at the Oscar F. Brockett Theater, the Cohen New Works Festival presented the play Antonia. The Chicana adaptation of Antigone. Si Mon’ Emmett; project leader, Conner Palmore; director, and D’Lonte Lawson; choreographer aimed to honor generations of marginalized communities in the United States. With the help of the theatre space, costumes, and powerful acting this vibrant play reaches its full effect as it brings the audience to its plot.
Chicano Theatre is a relatively young genre of theatre in comparison to the traditional theatre that date back centuries. It was in the 1960’s that the term Chicano became prevalent in the United States. Chicano is used only of Mexican Americans, not of Mexicans living in Mexico. It was originally an informal term in English (as in Spanish), and the spelling of the first recorded instance in an American publication followed the Spanish custom of lowercasing nouns of national or ethnic origin (The Free Dictionary 2003). The transition of the meaning Chicano has varied throughout the decades, but it still holds its politically charged roots strong.

The freedom of regional theater to customize its product to its local audience has been pivotal in the vitality of productions in Washington D.C. The perception of the audience is a multi-dimensional argument. This perception is subject to the point in time, views and community state of mind. The greatness of this city is encompassed through its history and more specifically thorough its nationalist manifestations, where people’s views are so different, yet they do not collide, they convene and
There is no theatre without an audience. The audience is as much a part of the playmaking experience as the artists—so how do we incorporate them more actively into what we do? We must work with them – and I’ve learned, in so doing,
My favorite theatrical experience was when I was part of the audience watching “The stop at Ellis Island.” This play was chosen by our third grade teacher when the topic of immigration came up in our Social studies curriculum. I was already bored by reading about immigration processing, and my last experience in theatre was boring to the extent that I slept through the whole play. This caused me to reject the idea of going to this one. I hid the permission slip from my parents, but was exposed when my teacher asked my parents at a gathering, so I had to go (basically it was like a punishment for me since I hd something from my parents.) The play takes place in a room on Ellis Island in 1906, where seven newly-arrived immigrants have been singled
Starting off my group tried to use the list of movement vocabulary. That didn’t work out so instead we decided to focus on what our theme or story would be. Eventually we settled on two topics, unrequited love and love at first sight.
