Joan Joseph Organizer, WRCT Silver Foxes

Notes from Joan
The Silver Foxes recently took part in the following fun and enlightening workshops:

Roadmap to Theatre Workshop - conducted by Jody Steinke
Jody shared with us how one gets from pre-audition to opening  night. She used the illustration of taking a trip—the planning; the items you need;: the preparation (read the play before you audition); the compass to guide you (the director); the map (your script); the schedule (rehearsals), all of which lead to the destination  (opening night).

Costuming Workshop - conducted by Shari Day
Thanks to Shari Day who gave us a look at how a main stage play gets costumed from beginning to end ... first read the play, establish the time period, lots of consultation and discussion with the director: as to how many costume changes are needed, color scheme, lighting, sizes needed, research styles, look for appropriate costumes , fittings, WOW ... we now have a greater appreciation for those who work on costuming!  

Shari gave us tour of the newly organized costume/prop room.  While there we found costumes and props for a character each member was given prior to the tour.  We returned to the Studio where skits were read with the appropriate costumed characters.  Thanks to all our "characters" ... you ROCK!

We have fun!

This group meets on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month
at 1:00 PM in the WRCT Studio Theatre.
