The Art of Theater

Georgetown is fortunate to have a real gem in the form of the venerable Palace Theatre, providing classic productions for the Central Texas community for a number of years.   But the Palace is also a place to learn, in the form of year-round workshops focusing on acting, dance, vocal performance and even the technical side of the theater arts.   I was fortunate last weekend to watch twenty anxious teens show off what they learned in a 3-week summer teen workshop, culminating in their “Broadway Revue” before an audience of proud family and friends.   The directors were Sara Burke and Adam Munoz, two Palace stage veterans, in addition to Nikki Bora, who also knows her way around a few stages.    This summer teen workshop is the second of three summer sessions.  Their final workshop is devoted to Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”    Workshops are there for the very young folks, too, and also for adults.   By all means, enjoy the Palace productions, but if you’re interested in taking it to another level, check out the workshops.
