The Lyric Stage Company of Boston Announces “Lyric First Stage” Wonderful Town and Macbeth Summer 2006 Teen Theatre Program and Performances
Boston, MA (PRWEB) July 29, 2006
After its successful inaugural year last summer, The Lyric Stage Company of Boston announces its second 5-week intensive summer theatre training program for teens, called Lyric First Stage. Led by actor and director Peter Carey, Lyric First Stage 2006 presents public performances of Leonard Bernsteinâs musical Wonderful Town and Shakespeareâs Macbeth August 9-13 at The Lyric Stage Company, 140 Clarendon Street in Bostonâs Back Bay. Tickets are $ 7 for students and $ 10 for adults, and are available by calling The Lyric Stage Companyâs box office at 617.585.5678.
Lyric First Stageâs mission is to create an environment where, with professional mentors, a company of enthusiastic teens can explore ideas through text, music and movement, and refine their confidence and artistry in a series of workshops and a repertory theatre production experience. This summer, in addition to offering the acting emphasis, Lyric First Stage expanded with a second: stage management. The 2006 program includes 23 teenagers from over a dozen Massachusetts cities and professional staff including Peter Carey, Michael Byrne and Karen Gahagan. Program Director Peter Carey explains âI don’t know of a program that challenges young people in the way we are able to. The sense of community that is inherent in the work we do shows in the actors’ work both on and off stage.â
Lyric First Stage workshops include the areas of musical theatre and Shakespeare and focus on group ensemble work, musical theatre, text interpretation, scene work, song interpretation, audition workshop, musical sight reading and stage management. By working in teams and with theatre professionals, the students learn to develop skills in performance and production including the collaborative process with directors, designers and technicians. âWe are thrilled to have Peter Carey directing this program,â says Lyric Stage Company Managing Director Sara Glidden. âHis energy and passion for theatre inspire all of the participants.â
Celebrating the dichotomy of musical theatre and Shakespeare, Michael Byrne (Associate Program Director) explains, âThe infectious fun of a musical is brought into the process of working on Shakespeare–and the precision of a beautiful language-focused Shakespeare play is realized in the musical. Both are celebrations of language and relationships. Participating in one–makes the other stronger.â

Wonderful Town, the delightful tale of two sisters, features a dazzling score by Leonard Bernstein, Betty Comden and Adolph Green. The book, written by Joseph Fields and Jerome Chodorov takes Ruth and Eileen, fresh off the bus from Ohio to follow their dreams, find love and take New York by storm. William Shakespeareâs Macbeth takes place in a world torn by war in which treachery, ambition and superstition rule. In the wake of a battle, the Scottish warrior Macbeth receives the prophecy that he shall be king. Lyric First Stageâs pilot program in 2005 presented Once On This Island (book and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and music by Stephen Flaherty) and Shakespeareâs The Tempest.
The Lyric Stage Company, led by Producing Artistic Director, Sprio Veloudos (recent recipient of The Elliot Norton Prize for Sustained Excellence), was awarded a 2006 Elliot Norton Award for Janie Howlandâs Outstanding Design for its productions Urinetown: The Musical and Talleyâs Folley. âI am thrilled that Lyric First Stage has been so successful,â says Veloudos. âSince its inception, the program has been designed to give the young aspiring theatre artist the experience of working in a professional setting. Peter, Michael and Karenâs work with the students is both exemplary and inspiring. I also commend Managing Director Sara Gliddenâs care of and commitment to the continuing growth of this program. â

When Anthony E. Wolf’s witty and compassionate guide to raising adolescents was first published, its amusing title and fresh approach won it widespread admiration. Beleaguered parents breathed sighs of relief and gratitude. Now Dr. Wolf has revised and updated his bestseller to tackle the changes of the past decade. He points out that while the basic issues of adolescence and the relationships between parents and their children remain much the same, today’s teenagers navigate a faster, less clearly anchored world. Wolf’s revisions include a new chapter on the Internet, a significantly modified section on drugs and drinking, and an added piece on gay teenagers. Although the rocky and ever-changing terrain of contemporary adolescence may bewilder parents, Get Out of My Life gives them a great road map.
This is a survival guide for parents who find themselves marooned among volatile and incomprehensible aliens on Planet Teen. Area maps cover the obvious ground–there are chapters on school, sex, suicide, and so on–but it’s the title of Chapter 2, “What They Do and Why,” that best captures the book’s spirit and technique. Anthony Wolf’s modus operandi is not so much to make pronouncements about what parents should do, as to explain adolescent behavior in a way that’s bound to leave parents with a changed view of the plausible options. Wolf is a clinical psychologist, and his writing is clear–even witty–and he doesn’t resort to jargon. The expository text is punctuated with snatches of illustrative dialogue, which serve as concrete examples and help parents learn how to see, anticipate, and avoid “bad strategies.” (One key mistake is getting dragged into no-win conflicts instead of having the wisdom to shut up at the moment when shutting up would be most effective–albeit the least satisfying–thing to do.) There are also some nicely tongue-in-cheek samples of “ideal” communication–the stuff we imagine might get said if only we were better parents. After one such rosily cooperative and considerate interchange between a father and his adolescent son, Wolf offers the following two-edged comfort: “The above conversation has never happened. Never. Not in the whole history of the world.” Message: Parenting adolescents is inherently difficult. Don’t judge your efforts by otherworldly standards. –Richard Farr
