PassingSOLO was presented both at LACES middle school and in Detroit at a fundraiser for Breast Cancer; obviously two very different audiences, but both were quite taken with the piece and impacted by it, proving again that the power of theatre can touch anyone, regardless of age or background. It was also a year of new beginnings, as we partnered with Market America ... a unique online shopping service that helps raise dollars for the theatre while you shop through our online portal at your favorite places like Target, Walmart and Dell, among many others. •••••••• After viewing links Use Back Button to return to newsletter cont’d on page 2 TOWNE STREET TIMES VOL 4 / 2011 2 Looking Ahead cont’d...

All of the company members volunteer their services I had the opportunity to be a guest producer with Towne Street Theatre for their Fourth Annual Ten- Minute Play festival. My role as an Associate Producer fulfilled my Masters in Fine Arts thesis requirement in the Theater Producing Program at California Institute of the Arts. As an emerging producer, I've enjoyed the luxuries of producing university-funded theater productions, as well as interning and working at fully staffed institutions such as Cornerstone Theater and Arena Stage, all of which have many more resources than smaller arts organizations. 3 the internet and e-mail, while while meetings are held at various locations.

With limited funding and more being reduced during the recession?” “I’ve enjoyed the luxuries of producing university-funded theater productions... to to the company while working normal other full-time jobs.

As the tireless hours set in through the play submissions and selections and casting process, I set this question aside because there was too much work to be done. But as the rehearsal process began, I started to meet the faces of the artists working on the project and saw their enthusiasm and gratefulness for an opportunity to do work with people of color. Moreover, after the show opened, I begin to meet the long-time followers of Towne Street, the Board of Advisors and new audience members, and my answer came. Towne Street has a true following of people who 4 love their work and look forward to the arts being presented to their community – by their community. The people were ecstatic to be represented on stage and have their stories told and new audiences were happy that “this” particular company exists to do this work in Los Angeles, and continues to do it, after 18 years. So why the tireless work? Balancing limited resources and never giving up on the goal of creating your artistic work? The answer is, "The people." There IS an audience that wants to see this work, and feel and be heard and considered. The answer to why does Towne Street Theatre keep fighting the good fight for quality African American Theater?

This year, Towne Street's musical theatre camp was a one-‐week intensive, from August 8 through August 12, at the Stella Adler Theatre. With only one short week to learn and rehearse, our fiHeen talented students performed an original, singing / dancing musical extravaganza, which even included its own "show choir" finale. Show choirs were once known glee clubs and their focus was mainly on just singing. Now the singing has evolved into performances of song and dance producOon numbers, many Omes with elaborate special effects. In the real world, schools send their show choirs to compete for trophies at na@onal compe@@ons, and in "TST Glee!" our Towne Street Kids are also trying to get to NaOonals. They're helped by their always supporOve music teacher, Ms. Chef and hindered by their dastardly, devious Principal RaV, but their biggest problems are themselves. By the end of our play, the TST Kids realize their only hope of geXng there and winning, is by working together. In the past, our theatre camp producOons have been big musicals like "The Wiz" and "Beauty and the Beast," or smaller musical revues like "The Best of TST Kids," both with Broadway show tunes. However, this year, "TST Glee!" – an original play, wriEen by Towne Street's own Tony Robinson – was accompanied by pop music. It was a first for TST and a treat for both performers and audience, alike. Many of the (20 plus) songs in the show are sOll on our minds – "Friday," "Dynamite," "California Girls" (although our TST California Girls were "sipping Coke & Sprite" under their palm trees!). The Musical Director was Forrest Gardner, who arranged the songs and taught the various solos, duets, and group numbers. Forrest was also the 6 producOon's Sound Designer. ........................... Brian Evaret Chandler returned as Choreographer and his producOon numbers featured hip-‐hop, lyrical ballet and Broadway dance choreography. He also choreographed the finale – a fabulous show choir performance. The video special effects for the finale were designed by our Set Designer, Nathaniel Bellamy. He also designed the ligh@ng with Sarah A. Bauer. Sarah was also our Stage Manager. "TST Glee!" was directed by Nancy Renée and Nancy Cheryll Davis. “Our students here at Towne Street's Musical Theatre Camp always put on such a wonderful show because they, like their counterparts in the play, are truly an ensemble. Bravo to each and every one of our Towne Street Kids!” NR Our phenomenal TST Kids were (in alphabeOcal order) Romann Anderson, Angelica Chew, Mahalia Chew, ChrisOne Crosby, Adisa Douglas, Sanaa Douglas, Darius Dudley II, MaVhew Dudley, Esther Gardea, Reggie Harris, Juliet Parker, Kaelynn Patrick, Faith Petrie, Joshua Williams, and Kamile WyaV. In another first this year, we added a couple of professional actors to round out the cast – the fantasOc Darius L. Dudley as Principal RaV, and the fabulous Shelli Boone as Ms. Chef. We were also helped immensely by our interns this summer, who doubled as dance captains, stand-‐ins, prop masters and wardrobe mistresses – Brigit Bailey, Taylor Fance, Ashley Mitchel, and Victoria Parker.
