12 Dec '20

CREATE YOUR OWN SHOW William Roudebush, award winning director, teacher and writer, is offering an online ZOOM CLASS on the ONE PERSON SHOW beginning Wednesday, December 16th from 7 to 10pm for five consecutive weeks through Wednesday January 20th(Xmas week off) IF YOU HAVE: 1.) Always wanted to create a show JUST FOR YOURSELF and don’t know how to get started. 2.) An idea you wish to develop and workshop. 3.) An idea already in development that you need feedback and continued development work on. 4.) Already developed your own show and you need to refine and rehearse what you have created. This is the class for you. If you are an actor who LOVES TO CREATE and you are locked down inside, now is the perfect opportunity to do something with this valuable time. When the theatre does come back, gradually, I believe the ONE PERSON SHOW will be in demand: Easy to social distance, inexpensive to produce and adaptable to almost any performing venue. While you are waiting for someone to hire you, START CREATING YOUR OWN FUTURE. Five sessions. Unlimited check-ins. Class size limited to five actor/writers.. $400 STAY SAFE!! STAY INDOORS!! For additional information, or to enroll, email me back at roudebushwilliam(a)gmail.com “ Bill did an incredible job helping me to create the spine of my solo show, in deciphering out the most relevant information and parts of the story that are conducive to a dramatic through line. He has also worked intensively with me in the story telling, to keep past events in an active present…a master” John Sannuto, Chair, Theatre Department, LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY. “ Bill is an excellent solo show teacher with immense skills, not just in writing, but in understanding how the show translates visually to the stage. I’ve learned a lot from this class…” Glory Kadigan, Artistic Director, Planet Connections Festival, NYC. “William Roudebush conjures up the actor’s talent and digs deep into the text ‘till he knows the play as well as the playwright (as this playwright can attest). His uncanny genius is knowing how the actor and the play can work together like a Swiss watch. William Mastrosimone, playwright.

Season's Greetings. Christine McBurney, actor/director/teacher/coach and Artistic Director of Bluestocking Productions here. How can I help you get ready for a post-pandemic career? Do you need coaching on: * Auditioning * Dialects (RP, Cockney, Irish, Southern, NYC, Italian) * Monologues * Script Analysis (theatre & film) * Script Coverage * Self-Tape Review * Shakespeare * 10-minute playwriting After teaching full-time for 20 years, acting and directing part-time, and co-founding and co-leading Mamaí Theatre Company for five seasons of award-winning productions, I do not want to wait to create. As a busy freelance actor, director, and teacher (even in a pandemic), I still miss having an artistic home and so I have created Bluestocking Productions as a place where my teaching & coaching and my own creative work can feed each other. The goal is to ultimately collaborate and produce works in the post-pandemic world. Theatre, film, classes...who knows... “Thoughtful, fun, phenomenal, positive, and life-changing is how students describe Christine's coaching.

Tickets can be purchased by either visiting the Scrooge In Rouge show page at http://www.cassidytheatre.com, or by visiting the event page at ShowTix4U https://www.showtix4u.com/event-details/42687 This quick-change, cross-dressing version of the Charles Dickens classic is set in a Victorian music hall. The Royal Music Hall Twenty-Member Variety Players are beset with a widespread case of food poisoning. This leaves only three surviving members to soldier on through a performance of A Christmas Carol. The undaunted trio gamely face missed cues, ill-fitting costumes, and solving the problem of having no one to play Tiny Tim. Done in the style of British Music Hall, SCROOGE IN ROUGE abounds in bad puns, bawdy malapropisms, naughty double-entendres, and witty songs. A raucous holiday treat!
