From WVL Radio Theatre, “It’s a Wonderful Life”

 

PalaceStamford.org

The classic, American Christmas story brought to life, before your eyes and ears. Performed as a live 1940’s radio broadcast in front of a studio audience (you!), four actors play all of the characters and, just like in the golden age of radio, produce the sound effects. Let your imagination build the scene and “see” the story anew with this nostalgic and spirit-lifting tale.

Performances are Wednesday, December 3rd at 2pm or 8pm at UPSTAGE at The Palace. Buy tickets here.

Triple Threat Performer Intensive Recap

PalaceStamford.org

Last week, young aspiring performers from the area joined us in our Triple Threat Performer Intensive. Students were able to study with seasoned Broadway professionals and teaching artists all week long to find their own creative voices. We’re proud to announce that 25 of the students were able to participate due to scholarships provided by First County Bank, Center Stage Dance Studio, and through the Robert N. Rich family.

"Everyone is so talented here to begin with and in the beginning it kind of made me feel overwhelmed, because I was like, Oh my gosh, everyone's so good at all this stuff.  But they taught me everything they know, or a lot of it, and that's helped me," - Greenwich High School student Willa Doss, via It's Relevant Stamford

Current Programs: Triple Threat Performer Intensive

PalaceStamford.org

So you can sing, act, dance - but not all three at the same time? Our upcoming Arts Education program seeks to change just that. The goal of this week long study of theatre arts is to empower young artists by encouraging self-expression, nurturing individual creativity and developing inner talent through training in three disciplinary areas: dance, drama and voice -- thereby creating the “Triple Threat.”

Students study with seasoned Broadway professionals and teaching artists in classes including: Audition Techniques, Theatre Dance/Hip-Hop, Voice, Acting, Projection, and Individual Coaching. Guest artists (either of stage or screen) will visit weekly to engage students about a career in the theatre, life on tour, auditioning and performing. At the end of the week’s intensive, students are showcased in an ensemble piece featuring singing, dancing and acting.

The TTP program runs July 21st-25th from 9:30am - 1:30pm and is open to students ages 10 - 16 for $320. For more information on the dance, acting, and voice techniques and on the program overall please visit our website linked here ».
