Artistic Workshop
"Splash" Goes the Actor
Facilitated by Mark Kuntz, Professor of Theatre - Western Washington University (Bellingham, WA)
Did you ever wonder why a crowd will attend 30 football games but only one production of the same play? See how one rehearsed play and three sets of actors that have never before seen each other perform a production with all the unknowns of a football game. The workshop audience will be fascinated, watching three productions of the same play, seeing first hand how each set of actors brings a unique element to the play. You will never again say, “I have already seen that play.”
