At Paramount, “Virtual Doors” are open! Enter! Master Class Mondays at 5 p.m. offer insights to inform your curiosity about the chosen subject for the class. Last evening, Shannon Cameron, Director of Education and Community Engagement, hosted Prop Manager Jesse Gaffney who graciously and generously opened doors to the ways she professionally researches, collaborates and designs (builds, borrows and rents) every bit of the excellent hand props, set dressing, stage furniture and marvelous inventions you see in Paramount productions – including Chip’s Tea Cart in our Beauty and the Beast! See how simply brilliantly that little character zipped around the stage!
Saturday night at 8, the doors opened once again for Connection: A Social Media Concert – Episode 7. What a lovely collection of artists performing in song, dance and spoken word, their renewed appreciation for the meaning of the little things in life now more than ever! Director of New Works Development Amber Mak curates this series with a personal touch you’ll want to take your virtual front row seat to attend and enjoy! (Submissions for this Saturday night’s concert are due by midnight tomorrow for this week’s theme that honors and celebrates someone in your life who represents courage and bravery.)
…when the doors of the theater finally fly open you’ll be transported and lifted up in ways you’ve come to always expect at Paramount!
LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER: Paramount School of the Arts Virtual Town Hall tomorrow, May 20 at 7 p.m. with a noon today deadline to register! “Shannon Cameron welcomes a conversation with students and families about summer offerings and how PSA can make accommodations that allow for safe learning. Please join us to share ideas, concerns and hopes for the school.”
Plans for Broadway Series Season 10 are still in flux but the promise is that when the doors of the theater finally fly open you’ll be transported and lifted up in ways you’ve come to always expect at Paramount!
