Description

Actor/director/stage manager Ali Caiazzo takes us to Upper Darby, Pennsylvania for this pipe and drape story. Each summer, Ali returns to the summer theatre program of her childhood, Upper Darby Summer Stage, to lead dozens of magic-making young performers using the improv, puppetry, and management skills she picked up from working for Disney, Nickelodeon, and at the summer program itself! In addition to producing quality, affordable theatre for young audiences, Upper Darby Summer Stage is known for teaching its performers how to become fun, creative young adults who graduate from the program to become everything from politicians to professional actors. Listen to this pipe and drape story to learn about the ways Ali encourages individuality and positivity in every one of her productions.
