A Noise Within (ANW), California's acclaimed classical repertory theatre, has launched a virtual program called Fridays @ Five to give theatre fans insight into the process behind the company's work and to share updates about the company virtually every Friday at 5 p.m. PST on A Noise Within's YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/anoisewithin).
Each online event will showcase a casual conversation on a topic and include special guests with a chance for fans to participate in a question-and-answer session. The program kicked off last Friday, May 22 with a Q&A featuring the cast and director of The Winter's Tale. Upcoming Fridays @ Five include a discussion with ANW's Resident Artists on Friday, May 29, a chat with the cast of Alice in Wonderland on Friday, June 5, and a roundtable with Noise Now partner organizations on Friday, June 12. "The conversation with the cast of The Winter's Tale proved to be a wonderful opportunity to connect with our artists and helped us find closure after having to cancel the production so abruptly," said Geoff Elliott and Julia Rodriguez-Elliott, Producing Artistic Directors of A Noise Within. "We are also drawn to the format as a way to keep in touch with our patrons and provide updates on the company while our stage is dark."Videos
