Amplified Arts News & Upcoming Production
|
On January 19th, Amplified Arts of Claremont and cast members from past and present productions of the arts education and performance hub, as well as over 50 other Theatre Arts organizations and companies descended on Downtown Concord for the 17th New Hampshire Theatre Awards produced by The New Hampshire
Theatre Alliance. It was a night of celebration for all things NH Theatre and for those that walked away with an award, a little extra bounce in their step.
As most artists will tell you, you don’t create art, and theatre is an art, for the awards. You create it to say something, to share a piece of yourself to the world. This year, Amplified Arts both had the chance to create an experience that spoke to many and walk away with a NH Theatre Award for one of its cast members with its production of
The Laramie Project
by the Mosis Kauffman and the Tectonic Players, produced by Amplified Arts Academy Program and Rural Outright, a program of TLC. David Stark for the second year in a row walked away with the Best Male Actor in a Youth Production for his portrayal of several characters in
The Laramie Project
.
Another special moment for the the cast of
The Laramie Project
was the opportunity to perform as part of the evening. Their scene was included with other scenes from award nominated productions from around the state. “It was lovely to see many of our early career artists reunited after a year as they performed such an impactful scene on the stage at the Capitol Center for the Arts, in front of a full house of theatre lovers. It was really special!” said Shelly Hudson, Amplified Arts’ Artistic Director and the director of production of The Laramie Project. Ms. Hudson was nominated for a Best Director in a Community Production Comedy/Drama award and another cast member Matthew Hennig was a top three finalist for Best Supporting Actor in a Youth Production.
