First Theatre Seminar at The Lyric
Everyone was excited on our first field trip of the year to go to our monthly Theatre Seminar at The Lyric. We were greeted by Lyric Education Director Denise Kumani Gantt and Deputy Director Ebony Evans. They welcomed us back for our 5th year of partnership between The Lyric and TCS. Before feeding us a delicious lunch, they introduced us to to the new CEO and General Manager of the Lyric, Tom Bailey. During lunch and the entire seminar, musician Antonio Eyez played guitar to create an at times relaxing and other times stimulating atmosphere.
Once everyone ate to their fill, Mitch Harris, the new teaching artists for this year’s seminar did several exercises to get the students’ creative energy flowing including an extended improv session. Mitch also invited the students to share their hopes and expectations for the year. It was an engaging and fun time leaving all looking forward to next month with excitement.
We are very grateful to The Lyric for continuing to provide this wonderful opportunity for us.
