SALMAGUNDI is almost here!

NEYT is delighted to announce the return of our Salmagundi Festival, once again offering workshops, master classes, and performances by acclaimed professionals. Salmagundi artists come from outside our region to teach a wide array of performance disciplines for one week only, right here at NEYT.  This year, there will be over 13 teachers, 15 performers and 20 exciting opportunities available to kids and adults.

There are returning artists such as Rob Mermin, founder of Circus Smirkus, who will teach magic and present an illustrated lecture about circus in film. Beloved clown Roger Reed will be here to share his exceptional juggling instruction, as well as a feisty clown performance. Robin Fawcett will repeat her popular monologue study class. Our revered David Vann will share secrets about Shakespeare with a lunch-time class for adults and a scathing lecture in the evening.  He will also be teaching a scene study class for teens and adults.

Newcomers to the 2010 line-up include legendary composer and musician Doug Katsaros, inspiring street performer Brent McCoy, world-renowned clown Avner the Eccentric, professional costumer Ginny Clow, brilliant physical comedienne Julie Goell, TV/Film acting coach Anastasia Barnes,  Oddfellows Playhouse Youth Theater and their master teacher Jamie Guite, and award-winning dance company Adele Myers and Co.

Whether you’re 8 or 80, join us for laughter and learning. Come once or attend every day; there is something for everyone during Salmagundi. Performances are appropriate for the whole family and many are completely free! Full descriptions of offerings, artists’ biographies and daily schedules can be found on our website www.neyt.org.  To register for classes call the Theatre at 802-246-6398 x 101 or e-mail michelle@neyt.org.  Classes will be held at the theatre at 100 Flat St. Brattleboro, VT.
