Congratulations to our plucky playwrights who hasted headlong to celebrate the Bard's birthday by braving the challenge of YOUR prompts! Our 3x3 selections for "Avon Calling":
"The Peerer" and "Will's Word," by Christopher Lockheardt
"Will Kemp's Turn," "An Educated Palate," and "Shakespeare's Protestation," by Rex McGregor
"Lady Macbeth's Lament," "The Groundskeeper," "Shipwreck," and "Message in a Bottle," by Dwayne Yancey
Odd (as usual), we've chanced upon another First Three for our series--our first mini-festival to feature 3 and only 3 playwrights. (Those playing along may drink...)
RMSC is involved in planning for a new performing arts organization, to be called "The Conservatory: Arts R****" We are considering a number of possible "R" words for the final word in the name, and would love to have our community weigh in with ideas about the best "R"!
The concept:
A performing arts center, offering training and opportunities for professional-quality LIVE performances in the greater Daytona Beach, FL, area. LIVE, organic performances will also be streamed worldwide for our distant fans.
Centering on theatre, the most collaborative and gathering of artforms, we also plan to include dance and music, focusing on classical forms and techniques, nurturing and uplifting talent in these forms and exposing generations of children starved for the fruits of our culture to LIVING, IN-PERSON, ART.
We believe that, with the decline of Hollywood at the hands of its own corporate corruption and the looming threat of AI, we are poised on the edge of a reawakening hunger for the HUMAN--for LIVE,...
It appears that we may now be able to livestream on LOCALS!!! This was the very reason we joined, and if indeed it is true, it opens up a great new vista for RMSC--hope to see you LIVE again soon!
Now that things are opening up somewhat for in-person theatre in our area, it appears that our former plans for a full-length "hybrid" show may have been premature. BUT I have had one request to bring back 3x3 short-form online live events. Is anyone else interested? Yea or Nay??? Reply here or message us NOW.
Either way, THANKS for all your support as we did (and will continue to) #SaveLiveTheatreSaveTheWorld
