While I do have acting experience (mostly in my childhood years), I made the transition to stage directing when I was 17 - everything from opera, to the classics, to full-scale musicals, to original productions, and truly adored it.

I have since moved on professionally to television/film writing and producing but the stage will always hold a special place in my heart. There's just something about that hands-on, in-person "feel" that a good production inspires as it draws the audience into a whole different world and then causes them to blink several times after the curtain goes down while they strive to remember where they actually are. I truly miss the magic of that moment and would love to find a theatre group at The Villages where I may be of service.

Does anyone need a hand?

Hi. There are many theater groups in TV. Some are established "clubs" and some are production companies that put up a number of shows per year. They encompass musicals, straight plays, reviews, even murder mysteries. Your best start may be to review the Rec News, skim through and find them, and try to get a feel for what they do. Contact info is always in the Rec News. I also know of a person who is considering starting a new group and that might be of interest to you as well. If you want to PM me and give me your e-mail address, I'll forward it to her.
