Sinclair Community College\u2019s Theatre Department has announced a summer partnership with Encore Theater Company (ETC), according to Patti Celek, marketing director for the Theatre Department.<\/p>\n
ETC will be showing two performances in Sinclair\u2019s Blair Hall Theatre.\u00a0 The first, from June 16-18, is called \u201cAltar Boyz\u201d and is directed by Lauren Morgan.\u00a0 It\u2019s described as a musical comedy, by Celek.<\/p>\n
The second performance is \u201cIn My Blood,\u201d formerly known as \u201cThe Cure.\u201d\u00a0 It will run from July 14-16 and is directed by Kimberly Borst.\u00a0 Theatremania.com described the show as \u201cthe right combination of romance, conflict, humor and drama.\u201d<\/p>\n
Celek said the importance of Sinclair\u2019s partnerships in the area cannot be ignored.<\/p>\n
\u201cPartnering with ETC offers many educational opportunities to Sinclair students and continues to bring audiences and community on campus . It utilizes a facility that is traditionally \u2018dark\u2019 during the summer as a place to create,\u201d Celek said.<\/p>\n
The shows also give students the opportunity to meet professionals, Celek said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile putting two musicals on stage during the summer gives students two more opportunities to perform, design and produce theatre, it also offers chances to network with all kinds of people,\u201d Celek said.\u00a0 \u201cBe it students in other theatre programs, to theatre grads, to award-winning directors and musicians.\u201d<\/p>\n
Celek said she believes that it helps students to work on different types of productions, and the partnership with ETC is a part of that.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny exposure to live theatre is great experience. Successful students thrive by being active in this creative process,\u201d Celek said.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cA well-rounded student who has knowledge of both performance and technology is usually more employable. Add to that the myriad genres of theatre including musicals, classic, contemporary, and others.\u00a0 There\u2019s a lot to discover in theatre.\u201d<\/p>\n
Being partners with ETC in particular has its own benefits not only for students but for the Theatre Department as a whole, according to Celek.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause ETC is a well-known entity among up-and-coming writers, they often come to Dayton to work on their scripts with students,\u201d Celek said.\u00a0 \u201cThese creators of new works are often using Dayton as their out-of-town tryout before going to off-Broadway or other venues. That\u2019s pretty cool and we\u2019re proud to be part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
