Overture Boston April 2014 | Page 5

Welcome to the first issue of "Overture Boston." No, don't worry, I'm not re-enacting "Flash Dance." You will notice that on the next page however, we do talk about movies turning into musicals.

When people think of musical theater, they often relate their experiences to Broadway. Little do people of the Boston area know just how alive theater is in the bean

town. Overture Boston" will aim to expose these hidden experiences to young actors wanting to make more out of Boston.

Within this first issue, you'll find a variety of resources to improve your acting technique. Whether it's classes or advice you're seeking, we've gathered the most important lessons we've learned and included them here as a resource.

One of my favorite pieces out of this premiere issue is our review and two cents on F.U.D.G.E. theater's premier workshop productiom of "Jack The Ripper." It amazes me that this group managed to pull together a premier cast for an original musical on a low budget and piece together a stunning show.

This is what being in Boston is about. While more shows may go up on the Great White Way, Boston will always have their community theaters and original productions for young actors.
