Theatre--Workshop

Acting Up (in Acadiana) invites you to take part in a rare chance to observe the creative process of developing a collaborative new work. Most often, our community only experiences final, polished performances on stage. We don’t often have the opportunity to observe the rehearsal process--to see how work is developed--to witness the art of collaboration between different disciplines. Acting Up (in Acadiana) opens our process to the public as we develop PLAY. MUSIC. HEAL. The project brings together actors, musicians, and writers to create a contemporary story about the potential for music to heal. We invite you to join us on Monday November 17th when Henry Gray will be our guest musician . On Monday November 24th Bernard Pearce will create music and Kaili Hollister and Justin Zsebe from Tim Robbins’ The Actor’s Gang based in Los Angeles will join the creative process. The sessions will round up with Chris Courville on December 1st and Chris Stafford on December 8th as music contributors. All sessions are free and open to the public and take place at the Acadiana Center for the Arts (AcA) 101 W. Vermilion St. in downtown Lafayette from 6-7:45 PM. For more information please contact Paige Krause at (337) 309-4964 or actingupinacadiana@gmail.com. This project is funded in part by the Louisiana Division of the Arts and the Acadiana Arts Council.
