California Theatre Company performs ArtReach's Robin Hood safely during pandemic
Changing Faces Theatre has innovative ideas that reach families, young audiences"Many, many shout-outs to you and ArtReach for the support. We sure talk you up here in California!"
CFTC Artistic Director, Mike BartramPop-Up Series! "We were able to perform safely for families."
ArtReach's Robin Hood - Changing Faces Theatre Company, Lodi CAWhen the pandemic hit and shut us down, we had to quickly pivot. So our Pop-Up series was born. We started with a modified version of Alice in Wonderland, which was a huge success. We took it to parks, cul de sacs, front yards, back yards, etc. We kept the actors separated from the audiences, and were able to perform safely for families, who would be spread out across lawns, sidewalks, driveways, and even into streets. We staged that show 22 times over a matter of 5 weeks or so.
"Robin Hood -- was just as successful."
ArtReach's Robin Hood - Changing Faces Theatre Company, Lodi CAThen we followed that up with Robin Hood, and it was just as successful. 19 performances later, we closed that show, and after 41 individual performances, we wrapped up our first Pop-Up season. Now we are looking forward to 3 shows from May-October, 2021: Pinocchio, Shakespeare To-Go, and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. We are very grateful to our communities in the Lodi, Stockton, even Sacramento area for helping to keep our theater alive during this challenging time. We are ever so grateful for Kathy Schultz Miller and ArtReach Plays for the kind support during this challenging time.

A Thousand Cranes Offers A World of Ideas for Students, Excellent for Zoom!"I will write peace on your wings and you will fly all over the world." -- Sadako Sasaki
Director's Notes from -- Sabrina Switzer-Wareing: In the theatre action reveals character. This is no less true in the real world. What we do helps to define and to inspire us. "A Thousand Cranes" is a moving artistic representation of this thought. The play tells the true story of Sadako Sasaki, who was just two years old when the bomb fell on Hiroshima.
"Action is eloquence . . ." - William Shakespeare
A Thousand Cranes - Herberger Young Scholars Academy, ASU, AZTen years later she faced the echo of the bomb's effects with determination and courage. Her hopeful actions and perseverance in the face of personal adversity are particularly resonant of late. -- Sabrina Switzer-Wareing.

Historic Fayette Theatre, WV presents a vitual production: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Chills and thrills coming soon to a computer screen near you!Gene Worthington played Ichabod in Historic Fayette Theatre's production of ArtReach's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow several years ago. He loved the script and all the fun actors and audiences had that memorable Halloween. So when the theatre looked around for a script to present this fall, they realized ArtReach's script of the Washington Irving story was perfect for Zoom. The playscript uses a lot of the author's original language and narration, while keeping it brief and simple for young audiences. The Historic Theatre is currently swinging to action, preparing for a spooky virtual Halloween! McLaughlin Studios of Loomis CA fresh from a summer performance of ArtReach's "Amelia Earhart", is also getting ready for their own exciting online headless fun, a Zoom performance of ArtReach's popular classic The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
A great script for a spooky virtual Halloween!
LCA Middle School Theatre Presents: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - McLaughlin Studios, Loomis CA"When I chose The Legend of Sleepy Hollow as this year's Middle School production, I was concerned whether the story contained enough big ideas, questions, or themes. But as I began to witness the students infuse their characters with their own imaginations, experiences, and senses of humor, I realized that even a story as silly as this one could be, in a real sense, revelatory. There is something uniquely inspiring about witnessing a team of middle school students do the opposite of hiding. In doing so onstage, they remind and inspire those of us offstage to go and do likewise."
Andy Macdonald, Arts Division Head Middle School Theatre, Lexington Christian Academy, MA
