Q: Charleston has a disproportionately high number of theaters for a medium-size town. The 1,500-square-foot building is so much to maintain and thus the reason to increase future gift giving. The long-term goal at Footlight is to increase the endowment to ensure the theater is at Queen Street for another 85-plus years. We must continue to make small improvements to the building, increase our attendance and creatively use our space for non-theater events. Short-term goals are to advance local talent by giving more variety to our play selections while working with the board and our patrons on improving the production areas of the theater, such as lighting and sound.

I used the whole language approach in my teaching, therefore the art of acting is an excellent way to incorporate many educational skills. My students understood the value of set design, costuming and of good projection of one’s voice. I used acting as a method to teach oral speaking and self-confidence while using my students’ artistic talents to design the sets and props. I trained as a elementary teacher so always had plays in my classrooms. I have no formal theater training but always worked plays into my classroom curriculum. Q: Have you ever done any acting? Have you worked in the theater before?Ī: I have never been in a play.
