Lend Me Your Ears! First Stage Theater Academy/Safe Streets Healthy Kids Week 5

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears....indeed! First Stage Theater Academy provides Milwaukee youth a chance to sharpen their thespian chops with adult actors in the community. I got to play "fly on the wall" and eavesdrop on their rehearsal of an upcoming show, AND I had the honor of interviewing the director, John Maclay, about working with these remarkable young people. Additionally, I interviewed two principal actors in Young Company: Emily Daly and Eric Schabla (both of Rufus King High School) about their work with Young Company, and even coaxed them into regaling us with pithy Scottish and English accents.

Lend us your ears!
