Season preview event a success!

By Mithra Ballesteros, First Stage Children's Theater

Sneak peeks are like appetizers -- tasty little morsels that whet the appetite.  Last night, First Stage presented a few little delectable moments that hint at an even more delicious season coming soon.  Over 200 of the First Stage family packed the Youth Arts Hall at the Milwaukee Youth Arts Center for a preview of the 2010-2011 season.

When it comes to describing an upcoming production, no full-color brochure can compete with the insights of an enthusiastic director.  First Stage directors Jeff Frank and John Maclay both gave passionate pitches for shows that will deliver more than entertainment.  It was inspiring to hear these two men open up about what they hope to accomplish with audiences this year.
