Circle
of Stones Ritual Theatre Ensemble is thrilled to be offering their
children’s outreach program, called Pebble Theatre, this summer in
downtown Allentown. Pebble Theatre is partnering with the Allentown
Public Library, Casa Guadalupe and Old Allentown Preservation Association
to give inner-city elementary and middle school students the fun,
empowering, and participatory experience of performing a play. Circle
of Stones Artistic Director Pana Columbus will write and direct three
original plays for the students to perform, Circle of Stones Music
Director Scott Eggert will compose original music for the plays and
Guest Artist Anisa George will choreograph the dance numbers.
The
content of the plays are school curriculum-based. We are working
with Allentown School District teachers and administrators to learn
what skills students need support with in math, reading, social
studies and science. These lessons will be integrated into the play
to support and empower students to experience learning as fun.
Stay tuned
to performance times, to be announced soon!
