What's new at the porch...
The journey has begun! Playwriting classes at the Community Art Center in Cambridge started the week of January 7, 2019 with a class of ten 7-12 year old budding playwrights. Students practiced their improvisation, adaptation, and world-making skills. With the script due the end of February, and auditions right around the corner, everybody is eager to find out what the play will look like this spring. black odyssey junior is an age-appropriate adaptation of Marcus Gardley's black odyssey, taking on the themes and stories from the original play but told through a child's lens. The Front Porch Arts Collective partners with the Community Art Center in Cambridge to bring this story to life for their annual school-age production. Students from the art center help write the script over a six-week period and will perform their adaption to an audience May 13 - 14, 2019 at Central Square Theater.
The Front Porch teams up with Castle of Our Skins to present 'An Ode to Hayes' - a celebration of black artistry that includes spirituals, art songs, and spoken word performed by Duane Moody (tenor), Joy Cline Phinney (piano), and Timonthy Hall (spoken word). Castle of Our Skins is a concert and educational series dedicated to celebrating black artistry through music. This partnership helps support Castle of Our Skins and their future programming.
