The San Juan County Arts Council is sponsoring a series of roving workshops entitled “Theatre Games,” led by new Lopezians and long-time theatre folks Bob and Sean O’Connell.
The three-part set of two-hour workshops begins Saturday, May 23, on Lopez Island, 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.
It will be repeated on San Juan Island, at the Dance Workshop II, Saturday, May 30, 11:45 a.m. to 1:45 p.m., followed by the finale at the Orcas Island Public Library Community Room, Sunday, June 7, 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.
The fee is $20 for adults, $14 for teens per workshop, although participants can attend all three workshops for the price of two. Proceeds will benefit the San Juan County Arts Council.
Theatre Games are organized fun for adults and teens. Although sometimes used by stage actors and directors as warm-up exercises for rehearsals or performances, for this workshop, the games are intended as an opportunity for anyone who is interested to drop in and spend a couple of hours flexing their imaginations, laughing and running around and having a good time.
No prior theatre experience is necessary or expected.
Bob and Sean O’Connell founded and operated ACT I, a community theatre, and GroundWorks, a professional theatre in Nashville, Tenn., where they lived for 40 years. the couple retired to Lopez Island early last year.
They have acted in, directed, and/or produced dozens upon dozens of productions, on both the community and professional level.
