Alaska Native Heritage Center Update- they need new theater company
I’m happy to announce that we will be holding auditions for a new theater company at the Alaska Native Heritage Center . Please help me pass the word, if you would.
The yet-to-be-named company, which will focus on Native-themed pieces and new work, is open to all performers—Native and non-Native. Plans for this winter include a regular acting class with company director Ed Bourgeois and guest instructors, a week-long performance workshop in January with the directors of LA-based Mentor Artists Playwriting Project (MAPP), Readers Theater and—beginning in the summer of 2008—Dinner Theater at ANHC. Future plans include the in-house development of culturally-based new works, MAPP playwriting workshops, a winter subscription series of plays, both produced and presented, and summer outdoor drama.
Auditions will be held Saturday, October 13, 2007 at the Alaska Native Heritage Center . Time: 10 am to 4 pm. Please call for an appointment/audition time. Performers are asked to prepare a 2-3 minute monologue or just tell a story. Any subject … something that lets us know who you are.
Whether you are a seasoned performer or someone new to theater, there is a place for everyone in this company. We expect to offer a variety of both performance opportunities and training; so don’t be shy…give us a try!

Authentically Alaskan.
I am the owner of two websites, Authentic Alaskan Productions (AAP) and Authentic Alaskan Sales (AAS).
Currently, my company AAP has been hired to direct the upcoming play in April 2008, "Shadows of the Koyukuk" which is the biography of elder Koyukon Athabascan Sidney Huntington. This book is a great read. Fantastic opening pages, my favorite part.
What is your favorite part(s)?
Also, are there any recommendations on how to get the word out?
Please introduce yourselves with name and location.
FYI- READ THIS BOOK!
If you would like to be a part of this up and coming production, just ask.

Mr. Wes Roberts Dalton,
Director/Producer.
