If you are free Wednesday, April 2nd at 6pm, pencil me in! I'll be performing in yet another installment of Astoria Playmaking, hosted by Astoria Performing Arts Center (APAC)
"What is it?" You are asking yourself. (yes, my psychic abilities are astounding and I can read your mind) Well, it's basically the Queen's equivalent of the 52nd street project wherein a group of about 10 Astoria Middle School Students enroll in an after school playwriting program. For their final project, each kid writes a short play and it gets directed and performed by "professionals" (read: fun-loving, kid-friendly volunteers such as myself) in a one night only event!
This round the kids have titled "Imaginations Can Come True" and indeed they do - I am going to be playing "Lucky, a 14 year-old girl bear." If you can make it, you won't be disappointed. The shows are absolutely charming and even better than watching them, is watching the student playwright who is seated on-stage in a giant velvet throne like chair to see their play come to life.
The info is below on the poster, or contact me for more info. Oh, and I almost forgot, this time it will be filmed by Queens Public Television (QPTV) When I know the air date, I'll be sure to let you know! Did I mention, it's free?
