Wheel Award Photos!
Thank you so much to all of you who supported the Wheelock Family Theatre this year, including those that were able to attend the annual Wheel Award celebration at the home of Wheelock President Jackie Jenkins-Scott. Here are a few pictures of this wonderful night! It was truly a celebration of WFT’s mission to provide artistic experiences of the highest quality to the Boston community, particularly its young artists.

April Intensives, oh my!
Adults and Actors pictured: Lisa Rowe-Beddoe*, Christie Betit, Beth Peters; Sebastian Kim, Larry Coen* Dan Dowling, Jr.*
Long time, no post, faithful readers. My apologies. I was very busy last week teaching the 6-8 year olds at our youngest Drama Intensive this April! We had thirty little ones, 3 teachers, 2 assistants, lots of hats, and a crazy time.
We focused our intensive with the 6-8 year old age group on the following:
- Movement using the Laban Technique
- Costuming to show character, especially COLOR and TEXTURE
- Tableau or the use of frozen images onstage to tell a story.
This summer we have a million classes offered (well, not a million, but many choices!!!) and frankly, I can’t decide what class I want to teach the most!
Did your child recently take a class or intensive at WFT? Send me your pics and your thoughts! wftfamily@gmail.com !
Yours in blogging, and I’ll be more consistent, I promise!
