“…And the sun’s coming up. It makes me feel like anything’s possible. Ya’ know? Like a beginning. I love beginnings.” –Sam Shepard, True West
I’m very excited to announce our two Vs. Studio Producing Workshop Live Presentation Nights! They are Tuesday, June 3rd, and Wednesday, June 4th, at 8pm at Pacific Resident Theatre in Venice. Below is the program note I included. (Click Here to see the full, online program that has more info.)
Dear Friend & Vs. Ally,
Thank you for coming out tonight and supporting the Vs. Studio Producing Workshop!
Over the last two months, fourteen committed artists met weekly to find and manifest the work they’re passionate about. As well as to learn how to produce with excellence and generosity for themselves, their fellow artists and the audience they seek to serve. Tonight represents a big first step on their journey. You get to see a scene from the work they intend to produce.
Moving forward, my vision for Vs. is that of a thriving, deeply-connected and radically supportive community where more artists are doing the work they love. This benefits everyone…the artists working on the play, the playwrights whose work is handled with the utmost care and respect, and the audience who get to watch and experience passion in action. A virtuous cycle is created. I believe this workshop will serve as a springboard for all kinds of interesting and terrific work.
Once again, thank you for being here and supporting live theatre. I can’t wait to see “What’s Next.”
Sincerely,
Johnny Clark
Artistic Director
Vs. Theatre Company & The Vs. Studio
