Hey everyone. John here. I am the Theatre for Youth Coordinator. That means I work to find gigs for the Academy Theatre for Youth/ Theatre Gael WORLDSONG touring troupe. We have shows that are specifically designed to fit into any school curriculum.
In other news, Hank Kimmel’s ‘Divided Among Themselves’ closes on the 16th and PCW is still going strong every Friday. http://www.brownpapertickets.com/producer/20154
I enjoy directing ‘Divided Among Themselves’. We have a great cast and they have been an invaluable part of helping Hank Kimmel perfect the script. It has been a truly collaborative process! With Lorilyn Harper, Tafee Patterson, Jacquelyn Wyer, Paige Steadman, and Joe McGlaughlin, this is a dynamite cast and we are all working to build the show!
We did a complete recording and run last night! It should be brilliant!
Evan Reynolds has two Academy Theatre Shows left!
This Saturday at 11 AM is the last Sci-Fi Star Wars spectacular Show!
The shows have been great especially with the addition of Paige Steadman on Keys!
Our Thoroughly Modern Senior Ensemble just performed at the Regional Youth Detention Center. We really moved the kids! See more about this great show by clicking here!
Any Theatre needs lots of help.
We need interns, we need volunteers, we need casts, we need, we need, we need.
In return, if we do our jobs right, we give fulfilling experiences!
Right now, we’re developing a new play with Hank Kimmel call “Divided Among Themselves”. It’s the story of 4 sisters who have one hour to divide their father’s estate.
We’re trying to complete our casting, though one role is in flux. We’re trying to find sponsors for the show (this is a great opportunity for your business!) & we’re trying to get a rehearsal schedule.
We’re also trying to cast for support for our Haunted House project, which Angelo Ritz is do ably spearheading. We’re looking for volunteers to be part of this! We need help building the event out and casting the performers who will be in it!
The motion is constant. The need is constant, but we also give back.
So many people enjoyed seeing ‘Savannah Disputation’ & ‘Story of God’. Still we’d like a wider audience!
Check out www.academytheatre.org! We’ve updated our website and information about all those events is upcoming!

Dear Person or People who thought it would be fun to decapitate our solar powered porch lights:
Congratulations. You got our attention. While, in the scheme of things, it’s annoying and no more, the big question is why? You chose only to damage the solar powered lights and left all the easy to steal minilights that take power where they were.
Do you work for a utility company? Are you a vampire who finds benefiting from the sun? Do you hate silicon?
Yep. We’ll keep finding solar torches and putting them up. We like light on our porh so people don’t fall. We like using natural resources to pay for it.
Since you obviously like breaking things, why not help us strike our sets? We could always use volunteers. Or join PCW and let them train you do destroy with style and flair. You’ll be happier and people can see!
‘Divided Among Themselves’ is a play we’re developing with local Playwright Hank Kimmel. The show is about 4 Sisters who must divided their father’s estate in one hour and how that effects their family dynamics.
Auditions are scheduled, we have some actors coming, Hank is making edits.
The show is really a cool show.
It first appeared on the Academy’s doorstep through Working Title Playwrights and the fabulous Jill Patrick. The show has evolved since then, but it could really be the kind of show in which, as long as the actors say all their lines in the right order (and you’d be surprised at how often this does not happen), it will be great!
The characters are great! The eldest is Clark, a successful real estate developer who has seen most of her fortune disappear in a middle east land deal. The main character is Samantha, a rabbi who strives to heal the world, but has material concerns. Next is Johnna, a tennis pro with money and other problems.
Finally there is Alex, who has left New York all together for a less material and more spiritual life in the hinterlands.
They all re-unite to solve their father’s estate: the apartment (rent controlled), the doll house, the money, the Grandfather clock to haunted their lives. If they don’t solve it, all the money reverts to a Union attorney.
It’s just a really cool concept with great characters and dialogue!
The show runs the last two weekends in September and the first two weekends in October. Stay tuned for more details!
This comic strip helped inspire Daniel Carter Brown & Kati Grace Morton to create ‘The Story of God’, which has only two more performances!
You can buy a Combo Ticket by clicking here and see both S.O.G. & ‘The Savannah Disputation’, which also closes this weekend!
