I
Got Life
Theatre Workshop’s fifth production. Presented in
December, 1997. |
TW’s
third year begins with two very full sections, lots of energy
and large goals. This year period 2 is labeled Advanced Theatre
Workshop and contains those students with prior experience
in the program. Period 6 is called Beginning Theatre Workshop,
for those just starting out. Both sections participate fully
in the creation of the show along with this year’s TA
Philip Jeanmarie, a talented, former TW student. This show
explores various concepts of life and death, and making the
best of every day that we are given. Our friend John Akamine
joins us as musical director (he’ll work with us several
times again in the future), helping the live music in the
show sound more professional. Highlights include: The title
musical number "I Got Life" from the show Hair;
our first student — teacher dance project — "Everything
In Its Own Time" — a women’s dance piece memorably
showing the unbreakable connection between women of all generations;
"Without You" — a touching memorial to loved
ones who have passed, presented with slides; "I Get Knocked
Down" — an athletic dance demonstrating male solidarity
and spirit; and several scenes both comic and dramatic, based
on the real-life memories of our students — everything
from a visit to the dentist to a child saying goodbye to his
mom as she makes the trip to the US without him.
For the
second year in a row, a half hour version of the show is entered
in the annual University of LaVerne high school theater competition
and wins two major awards — "Outstanding Production"
and "Outstanding Ensemble".
