Theatre teacher and director Shannon Spicer at Chantilly High in Virginia

Introducing Theatre Ave ‘Behind the Curtain’

Okay, so it’s official—our ‘historic’ first YouTube show here at Theatre Avenue. After working with Shannon on her production of ANNIE, I thought maybe instead of just having a follow-up call with her on the phone, we could do it LIVE, on Google Chat—that way all of her thoughts, tips and insights could be picked up by other teachers, directors, and interested folks. So this marks Show #1 for “Theatre Avenue—Behind the Curtain.” Let me know what you think in the comments below and if there are any questions or things you’d like to have discussed in future shows!
