Calling all East Tennessee Actors, Dancers, and Singers to join Last Call Theatre Group for the second workshop in our 2025 workshop series.
Last Call Theater Group artistic director Barbara Kistler-Martin will be guiding us through an exploration of our skills and talents and how they might best help us become part of the team. Kistler-Martin brings to the stage not only a wealth of experience, but an artistic vision honed over more than fifty years of dedicated service to the local theater community. From the initial idea to the final bow, Barbara has been there, contributing her talents in roles as diverse as director, actor, stage manager, and costumer. This multifaceted experience has developed within her a deep understanding of the collaborative nature of theater - the breadth of this experience has provided her with a comprehensive understanding of stagecraft, audience engagement, and the delicate balance required to bring a story to life

If you have ever attended a local or community theater presentation, you might have thought that you could never be a part of it. "I can't act," you think. And maybe you're right. And maybe you're wrong. Because maybe you've never tried. Maybe you once tried but it didn't work out. Maybe you just needed the right environment.
But there's so very much more to community theater than what you see on the stage. Yes, you might be able to tell that we're having a good time. And you would be right. The most important thing to remember about theater in general, and community theater in specific, is that what you see on stage is a team sport.
Just as in football there are specialty teams to support the front line, in theater we have specialty teams to support the actors that you see on stage. And just as in football, without the supporting or specialty teams, there would be no game.
So if you've ever thought you might like to be a part of this community, join us as we explore how the skills and talents you bring to the table can make YOUR community theater stronger.
We'll talk about all aspects of a production -- from acting to directing, from set-building to props, from house management to costuming. Trust us, no matter what your skill set or interest, we'll find a part for you to play.
