This year, Mary Rigg Neighborhood Center is piloting the LEADERS (Leadership, Expression, Appreciation, Development, Exploration, Respect, Service) Program which is designed to empower a group of up youth ages 11-13 to become leaders in their community by exploring career fields, by learning positive methods of self-expression, and by giving back to the community through weekly community service projects.
For the weeks of June 16-27, the LEADERS theme is "Theatre and Art." Read the posting below from one of our LEADERS to see what all the LEADERS have been up to:
"We've been really busy with the Theatre and Art theme weeks. On Friday we went to Indy Improv on Mass Ave. It's a really cool part of the city. We got to get up on stage and perform. We learned how to act out different emotions and then we walked across the stage acting out all different emotions. Also we learned the names of the different parts of the stage--upstage and downstage, ya know.
On Monday we went to the Civic Theatre to see Alice in Wonderland. It was cool to get to see a performance on a huge stage. The play was really funny.
Then today we went to Butler University to see Clowes Hall and the campus. Clowes Hall is where the symphony sometimes performs and they have a lot of musicals and plays. They took us all behind the scenes on the stage and we really got to see what a big stage is like. We learned all about the cameras and the lighting and the history of the hall. We got to see the dressing rooms and the Green Room--that's where the actors hang out before the show starts. We also got to see how the stage elevator works and we got to go down 30 feet. It was pretty cool."
