Reader's Theater and Radio Shows

NextStage Productions is looking for actors to perform short plays, monologues and radio shows.  The rehearsals will be on Zoom and final presentation will be recorded for YouTube and made public.  Down the road, it would be hoped that we could perform these plays and monologues in front of an audience.

NextStage is an organization with a mission to engage, educate and enrich the lives of active adults fifty years and older through creative arts experiences.  Pre-Covid we were running drumming classes for those with Parkinson’s, Story Telling for patients with Alzheimers and performing musical revues for those in assisted living facilities as well as for private parties and corporate  events, which we plan to continue when the time is right. Post Covid we have produced our first Readers Theater with seven short plays.

Readers Theater encompasses short plays, skits, monologue presentations and Radio Shows (similar to Readers Theater but without visuals). This activity is new for NSP and is a new outreach program that we are looking to grow and develop.  We need your help. We need volunteer actors as well as anyone with radio experience or technical background to assist with actual production.

Volunteers are also needed for outreach to the community through this newsletter and our website blog. If you enjoy writing, and like our programs please contact us, as we need help. We are also looking for new plays, monologues and an editor for this newsletter, using Mail Chimp. Email contact: info@nextstagesantacruz.org
