Theatre Games Coming to Three Islands!

Workshops May 23, May 30 and June 7 to benefit County Arts Council

Laugh with friends at Theater Sports, offered on all three “big” islands

The San Juan County Arts Council (SJCAC) is sponsoring a workshop, “Theatre Games,” to be led by new Lopezians and long-time theatre folks Bob and Sean O’Connell.

The workshop will be offered on Lopez Island at the Lopez Center for Community and the Arts, Saturday, May 23, from 1:30 to 3:30 pm.
It will be repeated on San Juan Island in Friday Harbor at the Dance Workshop II (15 2nd Avenue North) on Saturday, May 30, from 11:45 am to 1:45 pm,
and again on Orcas Island at the Orcas Island Public Library Community Room, on Sunday, June 7, from 3:30 to 5:30 pm. The fee will be $20 for adults and $14 for teens, per workshop. Each of the workshops is intended as a stand-alone experience, but all three workshops may be attended for the cost of two. All proceeds will benefit the San Juan County Arts Council.

Theatre Games are organized fun for adults and teens. Although sometimes used by stage actors and directors as warm-up exercises for rehearsals or performances, for this workshop, the Games are intended as an opportunity for anyone who is interested to drop in and spend a couple of hours flexing their imaginations and laughing and running around having a good time. No prior theatre experience is necessary or expected.

Bob and Sean O’Connell founded and operated ACT I, a community theatre, and GroundWorks, a professional theatre, in Nashville, Tennessee, where they lived for forty years, before their retirement to Lopez Island early last year. They have acted in, directed, and/or produced dozens upon dozens of productions, on both the community and professional level.
