March Newsletter

 

Dear Community,

 

Here we are, already at the tail end of March! The 21ten team has been working hard this month; putting up our third BareBones production, Adopt a Sailor, hosting our first annual General Auditions, casting Uncle Vanya, getting our film screening room up and running, bringing art to our walls with our first gallery opening, and gearing up for The Actors Conservatory to come in for their production of Hamlet this April. We are, as always, ever so grateful for your steadfast support as our theatre blooms beyond what had ever thought possible!

Final Weekend!

Wall Art at 21ten

Revealing the work of Jake Dorr

This Friday, March 22nd from 6pm-7pm

Some words from Artistic Director Ted Rooney;

 

I have been wanting to make it happen for over a year now, and I finally have an artist’s work up on our shabby chic brick wall! "Wall Art at 21ten” is on! Come this Friday for the opening of Jake Dorr’s paint brush work. I hope to have a different local artist displayed every other month or so.

As per expectations, we will be serving wine and cheese and crackers. This is one more 21ten community event with an opportunity to meet and kvetch...and check out a local artist's current self expressions.

 

Come check it out and stay for Friday's performance of Adopt A Sailor. Already have tickets for Friday? Come a little early get a double shot of art ;-)

General Auditions

A big thank you to everyone who helped make 21ten's first open general auditions a success! We saw 65+ auditioners, both in person and virtually. We are grateful for such a wonderful turnout, and appreciate everyone who joined us in fostering a welcoming environment.

 

We got some kind comments from folks after auditions:

 

"It was such a positive experience."

 

"You all created such a supportive environment for the actors. It really was one of the best audition experiences I've had in a while."

 

"I loved the snacks!"

 

"I'm so glad you all are keeping the Shoebox alive and filled with high-caliber work!"

The 21ten team had a great time hosting General Auditions :)
