Looking Ahead
By Nancy Cheryll Davis
2011 was another busy
year for TST...
We presented several exciting,
well-received events that you will
read about in this newsletter,
including the always popular and
successful 4th Annual 10 Minute
Play Festival, a reading of Felton
Perry's play – The Good Wife, the
13th Annual Musical Theater
Camp for Kids Production of TST
Glee! along with our first
ever Virtual Tea.
PassingSOLO was presented both
at LACES middle school and in
Detroit at a fundraiser for Breast
Cancer; obviously two very
different audiences, but both were
quite taken with the piece and
impacted by it, proving again that
the power of theatre can touch
anyone, regardless of age or
background.
It was also a year of new
beginnings, as we partnered with
Market America ... a unique
online shopping service that helps
raise dollars for the theatre while
you shop through our online portal
at your favorite places like Target,
Walmart and Dell, among many
others.

New Company Member auditions
were held in the fall (See page 15)
and we are very happy to have
increased our family by 14! They
all bring their unique talents that
expand upon our mission of
presenting quality theatre in Los
Angeles and beyond.
As we close out this year and
look forward to 2012, we hope
you will continue with us on our
theatrical journey. It begins in
February with the 5th Annual 10
Minute Play Festival, continuing
the theme of “The Black
Experience; Part 2 - LOVE,” the
Reading Series of exciting
plays and screenplays, the 14th
Annual Musical Theater Camp for
Kids in the summer and a
mainstage production in the fall
(omitted from our 2011 lineup).
PassingSOLO, now part of the
Solo/Black/Woman Performance
Series at Northwestern University,
and perfect for Black History
Month and Women's Month, is
available for bookings at colleges
and universities, high schools,
fundraisers and special events.
There will be a few surprises and
additions along the way in 2012,
so be sure to stay in touch with us
online and on Facebook.
You can still get in your year end
tax donation. Just CLICK HERE
and know that your contribution is
needed and will be put to good
use to help continue our
programming.
As always, new company
members, volunteers and board
members are welcome to become
part of the Towne Street Theatre
mission of providing theater as a
service to the community ... since
1993.
Thank you for your support and
we all wish you a wondrous
Holiday Season and a Healthy,
Happy and Prosperous New Year!

10 min Play Festival #4
cont’d...
As the tireless hours set in through the play
submissions and selections and casting process, I set
this question aside because there was too much work
to be done. But as the rehearsal process began,
I started to meet the faces of the artists
working on the project and saw their
enthusiasm and gratefulness for an
opportunity to do work with people
of color.
Moreover, after the show opened, I
begin to meet the long-time followers
of Towne Street, the Board of Advisors
and new audience members, and my answer came.
Towne Street has a true following of people who
4
love their work and look forward to the arts being
presented to their community – by their community.
The people were ecstatic to be represented on stage
and have their stories told and new audiences were
happy that “this” particular company exists to do
this work in Los Angeles, and continues to do it,
after 18 years.
So why the tireless work? Balancing limited
resources and never giving up on the goal of
creating your artistic work? The answer is,
"The people." There IS an audience that
wants to see this work, and feel and be heard
and considered.
The answer to why does Towne Street Theatre keep
fighting the good fight for quality African American
Theater? It's Easy, It's You!

TST Kids Camp
In 2011, we found our inner
glee...
by Nancy Renée
The 13th Annual Towne Street Theatre Musical Theatre
Camp Intensive presented two sold-­‐out performances of "TST Glee!," on Saturday, August 13 and Sunday, August 14, 2011. This year, Towne Street's musical theatre camp was a one-­‐week intensive, from August 8 through August 12, at the Stella Adler Theatre. With only one short week to learn and rehearse, our fiHeen talented students performed an original, singing / dancing musical extravaganza, which even included its own "show choir" finale. Show choirs were once known glee clubs and their focus was mainly on just singing. Now the singing has evolved into performances of song and dance producOon numbers, many Omes with elaborate special effects. In the real world, schools send their show choirs to compete for trophies at na@onal compe@@ons, and in "TST Glee!" our Towne Street Kids are also trying to get to NaOonals. They're helped by their always supporOve music teacher, Ms. Chef and hindered by their dastardly, devious Principal RaV, but their biggest problems are themselves. By the end of our play, the TST Kids realize their only hope of geXng there and winning, is by working together. In the past, our theatre camp producOons have been big musicals like "The Wiz" and "Beauty and the Beast," or smaller musical revues like "The Best of TST Kids," both with Broadway show tunes. However, this year, "TST Glee!" – an original play, wriEen by Towne Street's own Tony Robinson – was accompanied by pop music. It was a first for TST and a treat for both performers and audience, alike. Many of the (20 plus) songs in the show are sOll on our minds – "Friday," "Dynamite," "California Girls" (although our TST California Girls were "sipping Coke & Sprite" under their palm trees!). The Musical Director was Forrest Gardner, who arranged the songs and taught the various solos, duets, and group numbers. Forrest was also the 6
producOon's Sound Designer. ........................... Brian Evaret Chandler returned as Choreographer and his producOon numbers featured hip-­‐hop, lyrical ballet and Broadway dance choreography. He also choreographed the finale – a fabulous show choir performance. The video special effects for the finale were designed by our Set Designer, Nathaniel Bellamy. He also designed the ligh@ng with Sarah A. Bauer. Sarah was also our Stage Manager. "TST Glee!" was directed by Nancy Renée and Nancy Cheryll Davis.
“Our students here at Towne Street's Musical Theatre Camp always put on such a wonderful show because they, like their counterparts in the play, are truly an ensemble. Bravo to each and every one of our Towne Street Kids!”
NR Our phenomenal TST Kids were (in alphabeOcal order) Romann Anderson, Angelica Chew, Mahalia Chew, ChrisOne Crosby, Adisa Douglas, Sanaa Douglas, Darius Dudley II, MaVhew Dudley, Esther Gardea, Reggie Harris, Juliet Parker, Kaelynn Patrick, Faith Petrie, Joshua Williams, and Kamile WyaV. In another first this year, we added a couple of professional actors to round out the cast – the fantasOc Darius L. Dudley as Principal RaV, and the fabulous Shelli Boone as Ms. Chef. We were also helped immensely by our interns this summer, who doubled as dance captains, stand-­‐ins, prop masters and wardrobe mistresses – Brigit Bailey, Taylor Fance, Ashley Mitchel, and Victoria Parker.
Thank you to everyone who made this produc@on a success. If you would like to see this wonderful youth producOon on DVD, just CLICK HERE... Or, contact Towne Street Theatre for your own copy of "TST Glee!"
