Performers needed for upcoming festival

(The following article originally appeared in The Huntsville Forester on May 28, 2008.)

The Huntsville Festival of the Arts is seeking street performers and volunteers for the first annual Edge of the Woods Theatre Festival being held July 12 and 13 from noon to 3 p.m.

Short eye-catching pieces no longer than 10 minutes long are being sought out. You can be solo, partnered or in a group. Whether it’s improv, music, dance or another talent rarely seen on stage, you will get the chance to perform for a live audience.

Professional actors Dan Watson and Christina Serra will be available to help with the development of your piece. All are welcome and no experience is necessary.

If performing is not your thing, there are a variety of volunteer positions on both the weekend of the festival and during its lead-up. If you enjoy working with people and like to have fun, then this is the perfect opportunity.

Those who are interested in performing or volunteering can contact Watson or Serra at (416) 551-3033, e-mail edgeofthewoodsfestival@gmail.com or check out the blog www.edgeofthewoodsfestival.wordpress.com.
