Community Outreach
Professional Artist Training
Providing Innovative Professional Training Opportunities for the community which were either previously limited or not accessible to local theatre artists. In 2010/20011, ATW continues its work to offer unique artist training to professional actors in the region via the fall Actors Lab and the winter Master class.
ATW Fall Actors Lab
This fall the Actors Lab works with opera singers in a production of Der Schauspieldirektor. by One Act Opera with the assistance of Professor Emeritus Stephen Henrikson produced by www.oneactopera.com.
Three shows only:
3rd November at Phog Lounge, 10:00pm (157 University Ave. W)
4th November at U of W Music building Recital Hall, 7:30pm (401 Sunset Ave.)
5th November at Willistead Manor, 6:30pm (1899 Niagara St.)
Der Schauspieldirektor concerns two opera divas in rehearsal with the director of an upcoming production. Both singers assume they have the starring role and quarrel, upstaging one other to prove their quality to the show’s director. Heated words and comparisons between food and singing quality ensue. The director invites them to share the stage in a what he assures would be an elevation of high art. But will the production even make it through rehearsal?
Tickets are seven dollars and are available at the WSO box office, the U of W Music Building, Phog Lounge and Priced Green.

ATW Master Class
Master class registration fee: $240 CDN, registration limit is 16 actors, auditors are $20 per evening.or $100 for all six evenings.
Actors register (either with a scene partner or requesting a scene partner) and will be assigned scenes 1 month before the intensive, and are asked to prepare the scene to performance level for the start of the intensive. Each pair of Actors will have three opportunities to present the scene to Carol and the rest of the class over the course of the 6-day intensive. Each time actors work with Carol she will give them direction and suggestions to further develop the scene by the next time it is presented to the class. Students learn as much from watching their peers at work over these six days as they do in presenting, and rehearsing their own scones.
