VA Thespian Update
VA Thespians Kudos & Happenings
This month for VA
We have an upcoming Northern VA workshop available to middle and high school Thespians and theatre students alike to sign up and train with Broadway Stars! It is in-person, one day, but there are events Friday-Sunday. Here is the press release for more information. Also, directors/teachers, we want to hear what you would like to see next (perhaps virtually, near you, or at festival). Please complete our Welcome Back to School and Current Schools Protocols Fall 2021 survey if you haven't already! Have something to share about in an upcoming newsletter? Email executivedirector@vathespian.org by the 20th of each month, to be included in the next one. IF there is a lot to share, we may send a bi-weekly one.
Meet & Greet: The NEW Executive Director
Hi, I am a Loudoun County Thespian graduate, K-12 teacher, and currently out of the classroom to expand VA Thespians, VTF, and more! I am excited to meet you, work with you, and grow together! See the welcome letter if you are just tuning in.
Director Spotlight: Woodgrove HS
Beverly Pruzina was a trailblazing middle school director who is now the troupe director for Woodgrove HS in Loudoun for troupe 7747. She comes from the broadcasting field, owns a few horses, and loves her new, shorter commute.
Woodgrove on average does 4 shows a year in the rolling fields of wine country in Northern VA. Their last show was Oklahoma! at a nearby barn in May. Their fall show will be Vampires, Werewolves, and Zombies, oh my! by John Jory.
Curtain Call Congrats: Moana Jr. @ RRPA
Congratulations to RRPA at Rock Ridge HS for an awesome Broadway Bound camp! There were over 200 campers, 100 staff as well as interns, and 6 casts across the two weeks who showed us "Just How Far [they'll] Go" when they can get creative!
Rock Ridge High School is in Eastern side of Loudoun County in VA. This was their annual summer camp program. Rock Ridge Performing Arts, their boosters program, produces 7 shows on average a year. Their fall show will be class performance followed by Xanadu in the winter.
