The current covid-19 crisis has clarified to us in Theatre Adventure the fact that our students live their lives being resilient. They are good role models for the rest of us in learning how to go with the curve balls, take things in stride, and expect the unexpected. Our actors know about sticking with learning new skills over long periods of time and keeping on, keeping on.
We talk about the “hard stuff” in our lives---which of course can change---and that everyone has a growing edge or two. Our growing edges offer opportunities to discover self and to then feel triumphant.
Quotes from our students:
“My growing edge is to sit tall---to stand tall.”
“I am working on speaking out.”
“It is hard for me to trust myself.”
“We can do it!”
“I’ve got it.”
“How did I do?”
“We did it!”
Their love for theater, for imagination, for singing, acting, and creating art provides our actors with a source of new fuel when the going gets tough for them.
At the same time, when Theatre Adventure actors perform they are giving audience members a lift in remembering what matters most in our world: expressing self, being valued, and connecting with and helping others---all while claiming the stage with gusto and pizazz!
Mark your calendars now for the Thursday Troupe ONLINE show, “Ordinary Heroes” November 11, 12, 13. Come experience the magic of self-expression and artistry during a Theatre Adventure show.
