One of those hats is of course, Producing. Another hat would be Artistic Director.  Of course, sometimes there comes a time to take my PJI hats “OFF!” and put on a couple of other hats- those hats that constitute your classic “Triple Threat.”

February of two-thousand ten is just such a time for taking HATS! off. In the interest of promoting my abilities to the greater Philadelphia community, I’m posting my headshot and resume! But watch out, Philadelphia theatre! I’ve already sent hard copies of these bad boys to both the Arden Theatre Company and 1812 Productions! I’m no fortune teller (one can only wear so many hats!!!!) but I’m pretty sure that once those envelopes get opened I will be the hottest ticket on Broad Street (Look out, Ben Dibble)! I say play it safe: book now, or forever hold your peace.

Alexis Interviews the Next Generation http://contactpji.com/blog/2009/11/apas-are-aok/ http://contactpji.com/blog/2009/11/apas-are-aok/#comments Sat, 07 Nov 2009 16:28:37 +0000 itsalexis http://contactpji.com/?p=396 Hey everyone! It’s Alexis! As you may or may not know, I’m a graduate of the Arden Professional Apprenticeship. In its 17th year, the APA Program is one of the most distinguished theatre training programs in the country. Apprentices spend a 10-month season with the Arden working in every aspect of the company’s fday-to-day operations. Distinguished alum include the Technical Director of the Wilma, the founder of Azuka Theatre Company, and Grammy-award winning artist Jill Scott.

I recently had a chance to sit down with the current class and ask them a few questions about how it’s going so far. I’m told it’s the first episode in a series that will span the entire year. Sure, they look fresh-faced NOW- but just wait until December (two words: Popcorn. Machine.)

If you’re still craving more info about the APA Program, click your linkies here. And be sure to check out www.ardentheatre.org for information on upcoming shows and events.
