Lopez Original Theater Supports Lopez Rec
If you joined us for our inaugural production last Fall, you know that Lopez Original Theater is dedicated to the creation of new theatrical works which reflect our community and its voices.
This Spring, we facilitated a workshop series, open to the community, our aim was to foster the skills needed to produce and elevate live theater on Lopez. We held workshops over a two month period last spring such as stage combat, directing, cabaret and song writing to name a few. What we found is that our group of enthusiastic volunteers, who have full time jobs and other external commitments, lacked the time and resources to organize, advertise, and administrate the program. After the program ended we decided as a group that sadly, this type of offering is beyond our capacity.
With the support of a Parks & Rec District, we can foresee being able to offer a range of classes and workshops to all ages, drawing on the skills and experience of our existing facilitators, to help grow a vibrant theatrical community here on Lopez. We see Lopez Rec as more than just a necessary solution for school sports; it has the capacity, with minimal additional overhead, to alleviate the prohibitive and redundant administrative obstacles that stand between passionate teachers with skills and our community. This is why we support Lopez Rec, and urge you all to vote YES!
