As announced in the June 28,2017 edition of the Iola Register, "Iola High School graduate Emerald Catron is bringing her on-stage experiences home to Iola.
Catron will be returning to the area long enough to offer a series of long-form improvisational theater workshops. The classes will run from July 10 to 14, capped by a 20-minute public performance July 15 at the Iola Community Theatre.
Two classes will be available, both limited to 16 students. A class for teenagers will run from 1 to 4 p.m., and a class for adults from 7 to 10 p.m. The cost of either is $25.
"I really wanted to bring this back to Iola," she said. "I wanted to make it affordable so that (Iolans) could experience it, too."
Longform improv expands on a scene by adding structures that connect multiple scenes. The result is an entire show deriving from an initial idea. Long-form performers create the conditions as the story unfolds."
Sign-up for the class is through the Iola Community Theatre Facebook page or by calling Catron’s mother, Tracy Keagle, at 620-333-2477. The performance will be Saturday, July 15 at 7:30 PM, the cost of admission will be $10.
