January 18 - February 7, 2018
I hope you got a snow day! If you've always wondered what the backstage of the Academy of Music looks like, this is your change. There is a tour at noon today - it's for a small group, so make sure you get a reservation.
This is the final weekend to catch Beauty and the Beast at Amherst Leisure Services and It Can't Happen Here at the Arena Civic Theatre. Also, Smith College presents a look into the wardrobe of two Elizabethan women this Sunday - a free presentation by The Tudor Tailor.
The next issue will include events through February 14. Submit upcoming events via the link below or by emailing me before Tuesday at midnight. Any questions, comments or feedback? Email me at pioneervalleytheatre@gmail.com

THIS WEEK IN THEATRE NEWS:

A Play About a Neighborhood: Community and New Play Development in The Duchess of Stringtown
by Jordan Schwartz
From the article:
What happens when you mix local history, a women’s prison, and new play development?
In 2015, Bryan Fonseca, producing director at the Phoenix Theatre of Indianapolis, was awarded a two-year Transformational Impact Fellowship from the Arts Council of Indianapolis to help revitalize the Near Westside of Indianapolis. The fellowship supported the development of Discover Near West Indys, a separate initiative focusing on arts education and community events in the Near West neighborhoods. Comprised of four neighborhoods (Haughville, Hawthorne, We Care, and Stringtown), the Near West has always been one of the most diverse areas in Indianapolis. The fellowship is intended to use the arts to spur civic engagement and economic development in historically underserved areas of the city. As part of the Discover Near West Indys initiative, the Phoenix has spent the past nine months developing The Duchess of Stringtown which culminated in a full production this past December.
