to
ncore Studio for the Arts, one of the nation's only professional theater companies for people with disabilities, is forging ahead during the pandemic and offering an online production that includes music, classic repertory and newly created short plays. Based on our prior experience, we think they are bound to be edgy, funny and touching in equal measure. The new material includes such plays as “A Call of COVID Concern,” “Decision 2020” and “Masks Suck.” One segment is called "COVIDance." There is a suggested donation of $5-20 per person.
press release: Executive Director KelsyAnne Schoenhaar announced that Encore Studio for the Performing Arts is preparing its first all online production – “Acts to Grind – COVID 19 Edition”. Due to the need to for safety during the current pandemic, several of the productions are solo in nature while others have been creatively edited to bring people safely together.
Featured in Encore’s trademark “Acts to Grind” (a series of original short plays), is: “I’m Bigger Than That”, a solo work performed by Connie Alsum; “Songs from the Soul” performed by Christie Stadele – featuring Dylan Schroud and Joe Wahlers; “Chris Black – An Introduction”; “A Call of COVID Concern”, performed by Austin Wiedenbeck and Emily Elmer; “Decision 2020”, performed by Dawn Cieszynski, Premiere episodes of, “Ask Robbie” and “Randy Knows Everything”, performed by Robbie Morris and Randy Sands; “Masks suck”, performed by Leda Tyson; “Thoughts from our Resident Historian”, with Corin Reilly and… COVIDance.
