Ecstatic Theatrics, Fort Wayne, Indiana

Ecstatic Theatrics, Fort Wayne, Indiana Jeannette Jaquish has over 40 scripts she has written, and 80, yes 80 tubs of costumes and props filling up two storage lockers.

Creative, rambunctious theater shows and activities for all ages continue in the Artistic Attic at TekVenture Makerspace's new Fort Wayne address: 1830 Wayne Trace, Door 8, 46803. See the scripts at www.theaterfunscripts.com. In early 2016, Jeannette directed Boy Scout Troop 460 doing "Harry Plotter and the Obnoxious Voice" as a fundraiser dinner theater. We did it in an interesting way, in a larg

e banquet hall at a church, with the various settings (The Durlseys, Gryffindor Common Room, House Elf Kitchen, etc.) located in different places in the room, so every audience member was close up for a scene. Every 3 scenes or so, the show paused and actors served the audience another course. They made some money on the event. See photos at www.ecstatic-theatrics.com. In summer of 2015 we did "Pinocchio", as a video production, then played at the libraries,

and before that Ecstatic Theatrics performed the same script: "Harry Potter and the Obnoxious Voice ~ The sssSPOOF!"

Playing With Plays today in 1 hour at 2pm, and every Sunday at 2pm.
I am deciding which scripts to produce in the next year. Thinking the Harry Potter parody for the October Halloween season, but also do a short one for Downtown Fright Night on the Main Library stage, "Don't Look in the Lake!".
I have 4 Christmas scripts, all short, plus A Christmas Carol which is over 2 hours long.
A short Christmas show combined with a gift-making workshop always works well, and visitors can get famly photos on Santa's lap, unless Krampus shows up and causes trouble and he probably will.
Anyway, I will have today's players try out some of these scripts to help me decide.

At TekVenture Makerspace besides LOTS of tools for woodworking, blacksmithing, pottery and theater, we also have CNC laser cutters, routers, and lathes, sewing machines with LOTS of free cloth, 3D-printers, electronics, antique printing presses, and plenty of table space to work on, and cheap storage for your project as you build it.
Ecstatic Theatrics works out of the upstairs Artistic Attic where we can rehearse, sew costumes and make props.
Downstairs, we can build sets in the Woodshop and work out our lighting in the Electronics Lab.
One door down the hall is our performance space.
Theater director, Jeannette Jaquish, ran the Firehouse Theater at 1245 E. State, from Summer of 2006 to Jan of 2010, producing a new show and 12 performances of it every month!

This 2 year old girl's performance is amazing, but I also want to appreciate that the pianist and the camera crew have organized and created the opportunity and gained the popularity to have an audience and be ready for whoever approaches wanting to sing a certain song.

Very cool 2-D image causing a 3-D effect. I am pondering if this can work in the background of a theatrical set to show architecture or a distant building.

To think I could eventually be able to do this, I would have paid more attention to my piano lessons.

Such hilarious concepts and abilities to pull off this silly thing. Every one of the actors has amazing physical skills, even as they pretend to be failing and falling. https://www.facebook.com/reel/798649266007445
