What a privilege to watch Young Company produce an all feminine All's Well That Ends Well. On Sunday night at the Milwaukee Youth Arts Center, Shakespeare's coming of age romance unfolded under the direction of Marcella Kearns, who produced an amazing performance. Young Company's Director John Maclay acknowledged the beauty of the play, asking the audience to 'lean in and listen to the Bard's beautiful and evocative language.'
First Stage's prestigious Young Company, a troupe of advanced high school aged professionals-in-training, recently earned top honors in the Utah Shakespeare Festival/ Southern Utah University Shakespeare Competition this October. The 12-year old company of more than 50 youths sends a select group to compete in Utah and then tackles classical theater year round in Milwaukee that continually prepares them for these elite competitions. This December, under the direction of veteran Milwaukee actor Marcella Kearns (pictured) Young Company tweaks a challenging Shakespeare play with mature themes: All's Well That Ends Well.
First Stage continues its 25th season with A WRINKLE IN TIME at the Todd Wehr Theater, 929 N. Water Street, downtown Milwaukee, through February 19, 2012.
