Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater Is Ready To Take Center Stage Once More
by BWW News Desk - December 21, 2018
In the fall of 2017, Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater cancelled its last show amidst its 33rd season with a daunting mortgage crisis at hand. It looked dire for the non-profit which built a state-of-the art theater on State Highway Route 6 in 2008. Rumors were swirling that the theater was closing its doors. But in August, at their Sock & Buskin Bash, new Executive Director Christopher Ostrom and new Board Chair Donna Ward "burned the mortgage" (in theatrical style they used flash paper to illustrate it), and officially announced that the darkest days were behind them. The turnaround has been bolstered by generous donors, the good spirit of community in Wellfleet and the Outer Cape, and a determined Board of Trustees.

BWW Blog: Please Silence Your Cellphone…and Read This Post
by Student Blogger: Lia Capotorto - December 19, 2018
One of the main reasons to study theatre is to examine why we make theatre in the first place. Simply put, it's meant to be a shared experience, meaning audiences are necessary to the process. Lately, it's come to my attention that audiences are not always focused on what is happening in front of them. How many actors on Broadway have had to call out people on their phones? Remember when someone tried to plug in their phone onstage during Hand to God? Side bar: Hand to God was an amazing production.

FPAC Presents NEVERLAND'S ICE AGE: A PETER PANTO
by BWW News Desk - December 14, 2018
The Franklin Performing Arts Company (FPAC) will wrap up its holiday season with Neverland's Ice Age: A Peter Panto December 21 and 22 at THE BLACK BOX. In Britain there is a holiday tradition called a "panto." Back in 1717, the actor/manager John Rich first created a type of show that involved a well-known fairy tale told in an exaggerated style filled with audience participation, popular songs, slapstick comedy, jokes and dances. At its best, a panto thrills children with the opportunity to cheer for the hero and boo at the villain and sing along with some of their favorite songs. But the brilliance of a good panto lies in its ability to also entertain adults with double entendre, references to modern culture, open satire of other works and the opportunity to sing along with some of their favorite songs.
