‘Theatre Games’ workshop in May and June
Published 9:00 am Saturday, May 2, 2015
The San Juan County Arts Council is sponsoring a workshop “Theatre Games” to be led by new Lopezians and long-time theatre folks Bob and Sean O’Connell.
The workshop will be offered on Lopez Island at the Lopez Center for Community and the Arts on Saturday, May 23 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.
It will be repeated on San Juan Island in Friday Harbor at the Dance Workshop II (located at 15 2nd Avenue N) on Saturday, May 30 from 11:45 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. and again at the Orcas Island Public Library Community Room on Sunday, June 7 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.
The fee will be $20 for adults and $14 for teens per workshop. Each of the workshops is intended as a stand-alone experience, but all three workshops may be attended for the cost of two. All proceeds will benefit the San Juan County Arts Council.
Theatre Games are organized fun for adults and teens. Although sometimes used by stage actors and directors as warm-up exercises for rehearsals or performances, for this workshop, the games are intended as an opportunity for anyone who is interested to drop in and spend a couple of hours flexing their imaginations and laughing and running around having a good time. No prior theatre experience is necessary or expected.
Bob and Sean O’Connell founded and operated ACT I, a community theatre, and GroundWorks, a professional theatre in Nashville, Tenn., where they lived for 40 years, before their retirement to Lopez Island early last year.
They have acted in, directed, and/or produced dozens upon dozens of productions, on both the community and professional level.
