In the spring of 2019, our adult ensemble celebrated the magic of the silver screen!
Through the course of a 10 week rehearsal process, actors worked with A.B.L.E. teaching artists and volunteer facilitators to build a unique show about the movies that have made a difference in our lives, the actors we look up to, and what makes film the ultimate escape. Actors shared original monologues written by the cast interspersed with scenes and songs from some of our favorite screenplays in a multimedia performance at The Fasseas Studio at The Menomonee Club Drucker Center.
Actors: Benjamin Collins, Martin Conway, Andrew Kosnik, Emily Kwidzinski, Matthew Lachappelle, Emily Lavin, Madeline Perez, Justice Peters-Ferrell, Jake Solworth
Facilitators: Janette Angelini, Somer Benson, Claire Chrzan, Kara Davidson, Lawrence Kern, Aaron Latterell, Matt Maxwell, Katie Yohe
