Turnaround Arts Gives the Theatrical Community a Boost<\/h1>\n

Everyone who is involved in the Fine Arts knows how much value they bring to society and how\u00a0much they help children develop into well rounded adults. Unfortunately, those who aren\u2019t directly involved don\u2019t always understand the profound effects that Fine Arts education can have on other areas of academic and social development. That is why we’re\u00a0glad to keep hearing about updates from Turnaround Arts.<\/a>\u00a0This fantastic program is a\u00a0federally sponsored initiative to bring Fine Arts education to the schools that need it most.<\/p>\n

\"TurnaroundTurnaround Arts exists within the President\u2019s Committee on the Arts and Humanities. Their mission is to identify \u201cturnaround schools\u201d that could use additional funding and planning in their Fine Arts programs. They provide mentoring, licensing to scripts, and musical instruments. They even pair\u00a0celebrity partners with individual schools. Furthermore, this\u00a0assistance really affects change\u00a0and produces\u00a0some incredible results. Turnaround Arts reports that schools that they work with have benefited from a 36% increase in academic test scores in the nation\u2019s capital. They have also seen math and reading tests scores improve by\u00a0three times the state average in New Orleans’ turnaround schools. Moreover, these\u00a0accolades represent just some of Turnaround Arts’ many achievements.<\/p>\n

What we love seeing is that they focus a portion of their efforts on musical theatre. We all know that funding for and existence of musical theatre programs around the country is not on the top of everyone\u2019s list. This effort is directly helping to revive, and even create, drama departments in schools. Music Theatre International<\/a> recently got involved as well. They are providing complimentary scripts and licensing of show selections from their Broadway Junior Collection to participating schools. The Junior Collection takes full scripts and pares down and simplifies the\u00a0length\u00a0and score for younger casts. It’s the\u00a0perfect choice for school aged actors who are new to musical theatre. Not every school has a huge budget. Every penny that a smaller program can save is vital.\u00a0By providing complimentary licensing MTI is making it that much more possible for smaller programs to participate in musical theatre.<\/p>\n

TheatreWorld’s Cabaret Series: Smaller-Scale Backdrop Options<\/h2>\n
\"Professional<\/a>

TheatreWorld’s Mountain Meadow backdrop provides generalized imagery at a price that is more attainable by smaller troupes.<\/p><\/div>\n

Here at TheatreWorld we have been watching this and similar programs develop for some time now. We think it’s truly\u00a0phenomenal to see money is being put back into the Arts. As a result, many months back, our creative team\u00a0set out to develop a collection of smaller sized stage backdrops. We call them the Cabaret Series. We specifically developed this drop to provide themed, yet general, scenery. The thought is that if we can provide a smaller<\/p>\n

\"Professional<\/a>

TheatreWorld’s Black and White Wheat Field can support a variety of full shows.<\/p><\/div>\n

drop\u00a0that can apply to an entire show at a price that is attainable by even a small theatre department, then we can help support more theatrical\u00a0troupes nationwide. At 20\u2019 x 10\u2019, these drops fit in\u00a0small theaters, but are also ideal for cafeterias and other impromptu staging areas. (Exactly the kind of performance space that smaller programs create on the fly.) We just felt we had to do more for\u00a0smaller programs. Why shouldn\u2019t they be able to put on a performance with professional production values?<\/p>\n

We are willing to make the switch to help support smaller schools and theatrical departments, even if it means limiting the production of some of our larger backdrops.\u00a0So far we have several backdrops that can individually support Junior level theatrical productions. Shows supported\u00a0include\u00a0BEAUTY AND THE BEAST<\/a>, ALICE IN WONDERLAND<\/a>, INTO THE WOODS<\/a>\u00a0and more.\u00a0In addition to smaller backdrops, our Creative team has set out to produce a breadth of more generalized imagery in larger sizes.\u00a0We promise\u00a0our artistic standards haven\u2019t changed. We’ve\u00a0simply opted to release these backdrops at a more moderate price than selections from our Signature Series<\/a>. We look forward to planning even more designs and have many scheduled for production in the next few months.<\/p>\n

Let Us Know About Your Experience<\/h2>\n

We would love to hear about how you or your organization has seen this or similar programs improve the artistic and academic climates in your community. Proactive plans like this are a breath of fresh air, considering all of the hits that lack of funding has delivered to The Arts in years past. Furthermore, the arts do more than provide entertainment. They expand the minds of young people and help with overall academic development. We are happy to support Fine Arts education!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
