We have finally begun the work of bringing the Waterfront South Theatre to life. As hope for the rebuilding of the neighborhood sprang forward, unfortunately so did groundwater that we did not anticipate. We are still working, but now more work must be done before the pouring of the foundation can happen. We hope the pouring will be happening very soon.
What has not been delayed, though, has been the rehearsal of our new play 'Youth In America". These plays produced seprately in NY and Philadelphia and as a full evening this past February at Rowan University show the disturbing situation that today's teenagers have growing up in modern America. It was incredibly well recieved and reviewed and we are truly excited to bring it to you to open our fourth season.
We are also excited to join with Rutgers University Camden in sharing the play with their students. We will do two shows at the Gordon Theatre on Ocotober 10th and 11th for the students and then a full two week run at our own home in Sacred Heart basement. Please come out to these plays and I urge you to bring younger members of your family.
While this is tough material and subject matter, the response from the students who have seen it has been powerful. These are THEIR stories and YIA gives them a chance to see their own generation onstage. For parents and older audience members these stories give us insight into a world much different from the one we grew up in.
