Hyronomous A. Frog
2022-02-22 19:00 - 20:00 | The Historic Mishler Theatre, 1208 12th Ave, Altoona, PA, 16601, United States
Altoona Community Theatre is proud to once again partner with Blair County Arts Foundation’s Family Theatre at the Mishler Series to bring you Hyronomous A. Frog!
Hyronomous, an inept and lonely frog, is bored and unhappy. He’s larger than the other frogs and hates the taste of flies. The good witch Gloria tells him he was once a human prince, and to break this curse he must be kissed by a maiden. He sets his sights on the spoiled and petulant Princess Gladiola, who is engaged to the painfully pompous Sir Lancelot Pancelot. This delightful tale features a Rap throw down about table manners, a sneering, spoiled princess in a tiara, and a sword fight with memory lapses!
The show will be performed for local schools on February 22 & 23 (arranged by BCAF), with one public performance on February 22 at 7:00 PM. Get your tickets for this silly yet inspirational tale today!

Online Membership Registration or Renewal (New members welcome!)

MORE INFORMATION:
The ACT Great Gift Give Away: Each guest who wants to participate brings one “White-Elephant” Gift. This gift can be a silly item, a random object cluttering up your house you want to get rid of, or, if you choose to purchase something, any gift under $30—just make sure whatever it is, you wrap it pretty! Rules will be explained at the party. You may walk away with a nice present, a useless trinket, or maybe nothing at all. It’s a game of chance, speed, and theft. Similar to paper bag awards, it’s an honor to play, but not always an honor to win.
Booze Rules: All ACT functions that involve alcoholic beverages are served by a RAMP certified bartender. Even in the case of Bring Your Own Booze such as this party, you must turn your drinks over to the bartender and provide an ID. (We don’t care how old you look– No ID, no wristband, no drinking!) Your drinks will then be served to you in appropriate portions to make sure everyone is drinking responsibly. ACT pays for the bartender’s fee, but tips from our party guests are appreciated.
Possible other games & activities to follow the Gift Give Away. Bartender stops serving at 9:00PM & Party officially ends at 10:00PM
We hope too see you there.

“A kind, elderly gentleman who goes by the name Kris Kringle gets a job working as Santa at Macy’s. His honest and generous spirit unleashes a wave of good will throughout New York City and a hint of magic in the heart of a very practical little girl. When Kris insists that he’s the real Santa Claus, he ends up in a court competency hearing where both his freedom and the joys of childhood are at stake.
This holiday tale is one that we want to believe in where love, decency, and generosity of spirit are their own reward. A joyous and heart-warming stage adaption.”

About the Workshop:
Several American playwrights of the twentieth century may deserve to be called great. Such notables as Thornton Wilder, Edward Albee, and Lillian Hellman may come to mind. But if one were forced to choose who would be the top three American playwrights of the past century, a strong case could be made for the subjects of this upcoming ACT workshop: Eugene O’Neill, Tennessee Williams, and Arthur Miller.
Eugene O’Neill
O’Neill was one of the first American playwrights to introduce the concept of realism into his plays. This realism took the form of characters on the fringes of society often depicting their deep-seated fears, and they were expressed in varied American dialects and colloquialisms. O’Neill’s aim was to strip American theatre of false sentimentality and present an honest view of American culture. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in Drama in 1920, 1922, 1928, and 1957, and for literature in 1936.
In the workshop, we will be studying A Long Day’s Journey into Night – the last play O’Neill wrote before he died, and the one generally regarded as his best.
Tennessee Williams
Lauded as one of the greatest American playwrights of the twentieth century, Williams used his own life to influence the content of his plays. Topics included drug abuse, alcoholism, and domestic violence, all of which he experienced during his life. Much of Williams’s acclaimed work has been adapted for the cinema. He also wrote short stories, poetry, essays, and a large collection of memoirs. Four years before his death, he was inducted in The American Theater Hall of Fame. His plays Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and A Streetcar Named Desire won Pulitzer Prizes. We will be analyzing “Streetcar” in this workshop.
Arthur Miller
As one of the most prominent playwrights of the twentieth century, Arthur Miller’s work focuses on the balance between the individual and society – how society influences the individual and how the individual influences the world around them. Themes include the American Dream, social responsibility, and human purpose. His most famous works include The Crucible and the Pulitzer Prize winning Death of a Salesman. We will be studying the latter in the workshop.

Directed by Tara Enedy
In this classic comedy/thriller, Sidney Bruhl, a washed-up playwright, receives a script from a former student – a play that’s a guaranteed Broadway hit. It’s an opportunity that Sidney might be willing to kill for. His wife, Myra, suggests the two men could collaborate. Sidney jokes that it’d be just as easy to murder the young man and steal the script for his own. When Clifford arrives later that evening, no one – not even the visiting psychic – could predict where the dark events of the night will go.
Deathtrap is a sharply funny play full of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final curtain.
