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!"
