Class SPOTLIGHT. Stagecraft with Marge Lusignan

Wheelock Family Theatre works with some amazing artists, and one of the artists we are blessed to work with is Props Master Marge Lusignan. Marge creates objects beyond our wildest expectations, her manipulation of simple materials along with her technical prowess has made her invaluable during productions. She will share her skills and talents with students over the course of two classes during the 2013 Summer Program: the June Intensive (June 29 - July 3; 9:00 am to 3:30 pm) and a July Specialty Workshop (July 15 - 19; 9:00 am to 12 noon).
