The AC Story

When I spoke to Stephen Svoboda back in 2009 about the Arts Center he was starting to work for, I had no idea that a mere phone conversation was going to translate into the adventure I was about to embark on; First I was a designer, creating the new logo and the 2009 summer brochure. Then actor, as I joined the cast in the first Shakespeare in the Adirondack Park: A Midsummer Nights’ Dream.  As teacher, from teaching South African folk songs on the first day of school at Indian Lake C.S. to leading Arts from the Start Workshops. And then Marketing Director, where I continue designing for and developing all of the AC fantastic programs.  The journey has been exciting, challenging and rewarding and now as we are at the start of a new adventure, (the AC’s new partnership with the Redhouse in Syracuse) I am glad to be combining many of the skills I’ve built along the way as I make my debut as Director.

Directing [sic], a fragmented comedy now playing it’s final weekend this Thursday - Saturday at the Redhouse in Syracuse has truly been a labor of love. From dissecting a challenging script, to working with actors that I admire and respect, to having my vision realized on stage, I am truly honored to be working on such a production. Once again, the journey has been exciting, challenging and rewarding, but at least while wearing this hat,  after all the hard work and effort is done, I get to sit back, relax and literally enjoy the show. 

If you get a chance to make a trip of it, I would recommend driving down and seeing this magical production. The stunning set, magical use of video and projections, a laugh-out-loud script and stunning performances from all of the actors, (Especially the Adirondack’s own Mary Ellen Dowling!) makes [sic] is worth the trip!

Hope to see you there! (And thanks to the folks who have already made it down!)
