CREATIVE AND THEATRE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FAMILY in FORT GREENE

My son Ted is a member of the Irondale Center Young Company and receives professional-level acting training from the same skilled artists who stage and perform the company’s productions. The training, which engages him emotionally, physically, and imaginatively, is stimulating and, more importantly, fun. The learning environment is warm and supportive. That an adolescent like Ted shows himself eager to get up on a Saturday morning and cheerfully commit himself to the work is nothing short of astonishing. Speaking as a theatre-goer, I’ve attended numerous Irondale productions over the years, and find their work to be inventive, challenging, and, above all, entertaining. It is what theatre should be and seldom is. I urge parents, community members, and theatre lovers to support this wonderful, one-of-a-kind company in any way they can. The Yong Company is FREE and happens on Sundays, you can see a schedule at Irondale.org
