Theatre Arts 12 | OHCC LIVING | JULY 2021 | Your Theatre Arts Club has been busy planning for the future. We anxiously wait for a time that we can all be together again. It all depends on the government's COVID-19 regulations and staff availability. For now, club members will be informed of any programming by email as events are scheduled. All performances will be produced on Zoom until we can safely meet in the Clubhouse again. Theatre Arts' Play Readers Theater group has produced several Zoom productions during the pandemic and will continue to do so throughout 2021. Our actors have learned some new skills for performing on screen and our director/producer Anita Simons has learned new "tricks" in producing a play via Zoom. Our last production in June of Evacuation, by Linda Larocque, featured the talents of Jody Gorran, Janice Pelcher and Maureen Schneider was a big hit. A new episode of The Leisure Set, by Anita Simons, was also presented with a new cast, featuring Valerie Thompson, Sherrie Scoby, Ros Nesler and Naomi B Katz. Both casts had fun performing and we know our audience enjoyed their antics on screen. Remember, these Zoom productions are only open for viewing by paid members. We look forward to welcoming new actors for the next Zoom production to be presented in August or September. If you are interested in performing on stage or screen, please contact Anita Simons (asimonsays@gmail. com) to find out how and when we hold auditions. Remember, only Theatre Arts members receive emails with links to watch our Zoom productions and other updates. Actors' Workshop and Readers' Theatre - Sally Benton announces that our classes will start up again in August. Exact times and room location will follow via email to members only. Both those interested in Readers' Theatre or acting classes will meet together. We will be following local and HOA guidelines. Sally is excited to bring back live theatre and a variety of different literature forms. Numbers will be limited. Please contact Sally at moki2@cox.net or call (602) 228-7541 to get on the lists. New members are welcome. No talent is required, just a desire to have some fun and explore a new creative adventure. Do not miss out. Sign up now. The date for our next Board meeting is not yet set, nor are we certain to be meeting in person or via Zoom. Board meetings are open to all members. We will notify the members via email. If you want to attend, send Lois Powazek an email (loispow@cox.net) by July 2. She will send you the Zoom link or date, time, and place. Check your email inbox for details.
