The past two weeks have consisted of me getting to be a stage manager on two of Walnut's Touring Outreach Productions: "Bears Tonite!" and "Grace for President."
Bears Tonite! is about the Bear Family Band working together to overcome their fears and prepare to perform on the Flip Durango New Years Eve Extravaganza Show! Grace for President is about a fifth grader, Grace Campbell, running for the president of the fifth grade class and is based on the children's book "Grace for President" by Kelly DiPucchio and LeUyen Pham.
The Outreach shows are performed by the four Acting Apprentices Raven Burkhalter, Cody Lewandowski, Ray Ingram, and Grace McKenna and will be touring throughout the Philadelphia area. I was fortunate enough to go on tour for their first show of each production and the kids seem to be having a blast!
