“REEL Life”

We are rounding up the actors and acting buddies for our Spring show “REEL Life”. The play is about a theater troupe putting on a Hollywood musical in the 1940′s…. as with all the glamour of the mid 1900′s. Want to get involved? Let us know by sending us an email at easystreettheater@yahoo.com. We’ll contact you as soon as we can.

STUDENT FALL SHOW COMING UP SOON

1 Sep

We are gearing up for our fall student production.  As soon as we get the date from Kankakee Junior High School, we’ll be able to hit the road runnin’ and get all the information out to the interested parties.  Our play will be “Fairytale Courtroom Dramas” where the Big Bad Wolf and the Wicked Witch are put on trial.  And, of course, all their victims come forward to testify against them.  How many story characters can you think of who go to battle with the Big Bad Wolf or the Wicked Witch? 

We have requested performing dates of November 11, 12, and 13, 2011.  If KJH is available for those dates, we have our first rehearsal on Tuesday, September 20th at Maternity BVM Grade School at 324 Marsiles, Bourbonnais, Illinois 60914.  Our rehearsal times will be from 5:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m.  

Our first rehearsal will be PICTURE DAY.  Come prepared to have a group picture taken for our marketing efforts for the show.

After 7 weeks of diligent preparation, our spring musical Possibility U is set to premiere this Friday,  April 15th at 7:00 pm! This week marks the first time we’ll be rehearsing on stage at the Kankakee Junior High, and our actors cannot be more excited! Check back here to see pictures from our final week of rehearsal.

Also, if you didn’t happen to see the article about Possibility U and Easy Street Theater in Saturday’s issue of The Daily Journal, GO GET YOURSELF A COPY! It was a fantastic article and we owe serious gratitude to writer Phil Angelo and photographer Mike Voss for the great publicity. Here is a link to an excerpt of the  story, complete with the pictures that were published alongside it.
