This is the Forty-Nineth article in a permanent column for Stroud Arts that appears in the Stroud American. The mission of these articles is to inform, educate and inspire you, the reader, to Make Art Happen in your life and the life of our community.
For me, August always meant the end of Summer. Summer League Baseball season was over.
The family vacation was over. The Summer reruns were over. The shopping-for-uncomfortable-clothes shopping was over (for now), and School was about to begin.
Even though it was hot, the hottest month of the year and all that, it was a season where you could feel the anticipation and excitement in the air.
For kids, the anticipation of getting back to school and seeing friends again. For parents, the anticipation of getting the kids back to school and out of the house again.
For me, August meant all the above and more! It meant the beginning of the Festive Season! Labor Day in September, Halloween in October, Thanksgiving in November and Christmas in December!
Now, after the ‘Summer-of-Shut-Down,’ Stroud Arts is announcing our 2020 ‘Festive Season Event’ that will take us to the end of the year.
In August, we will be hosting our ‘Fairytale Reader’s Theatre’ Podcast Series.
Each week we will rehearse and perform a traditional Fairytale and post it online.
Cast members will range in age from ‘old enough to read’ to Seniors.
Our first meeting/rehearsal is Monday, August 3, at 7pm.
If you want to participate but can’t make this meeting please contact Stroud Arts on Facebook and we will contact you.
In September is Stroud Arts 2nd Annual Medieval Arts and Sciences Faire!
This themed event will be held on September 5, 2020 from 10am to 2pm at Foster Park.
There will be games and activities designed to train guests in the skills, arts and sciences of the Medieval Era.
Admission is free; however, Games and some activities have a $1 fee. Guests can purchase the all SA Game wrist band for $5.
The wrist band will not include non-SA Games or activities.
All games and activities are socially distanced and participants are masked. Guests will be encouraged to wear masks unless if the conditions have changed by that date.
In October we will again host our Live Escape Rooms at Stroud Arts Building, 214 West Main Street.
This event puts your group of up to 6 people in a timed themed puzzle, where you must work together to solve the clues and puzzles to escape before the timer goes off. This event is by reservation only to ensure that strangers are not being placed together. The event dates are TBD. The Host is masked.
In November we will hold a weekend film shoot, dates TBD, and December is still in the planning stages. Please keep following Stroud Arts through this newspaper and on Facebook.
Come join us as we… Make Art Happen.
