A theater workshop for middle-schoolers & high school kids….

Here's the scoop....

Helen at Island Stage Left says this is a great opportunity to get your feet into acting – and Krista does a great job! Here’s more:

FREE TEEN WORKSHOP

That's Krista with Dan Mayes in 2006's "Educating Rita"....

Island Stage Left  has created an ongoing, free, theatre workshop for teens,  designed to help young people develop self-expression, self-esteem, self-confidence and a greater understanding of themselves, the world around them and their own behavior. Through theatre games, improvisation, acting exercises, movement and voice, students will expand their natural creativity and, thinking “outside the box”, encourage collaboration and communication skills, access emotions and learn to express them in a constructive way  – plus learn basic acting skills!

The workshop is open to any middle or high school age person on a drop-in basis. The workshop has the enthusiastic support of Fred Yockers at the High School and the staff at Spring Street International School.

Krista Strutz is the instructor/facilitator. Krista is a performing member of ISL, and member of the board of directors. She is a graduate of Depaul University’s The Theatre School (founded as The Goodman School of Drama in 1925), one of the oldest and most respected theatre training institutions in the country, and is a recipient of the Sarah Siddon’s Acting Scholarship.

She received  an L.A. Drama-Logue Award for her role of Myra in Hayfever at San Francisco’s Phoenix Theatre and Sacramento’s Elly award for The Diary of Anne Frank. For Island Stage Left Krista has appeared in The Importance of Being Earnest, Educating Rita, Talley’s Folly and Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol.
