Theatre Arts Tech students help trot out Proctor's new season

Students in Career & Tech's Theatre Arts Technology program helped Proctor's Theatre trot out their upcoming performance season on May 16, both on the stage and behind the scenes. In a skit announcing the musical Spamalot, James Lyons appeared on stage as a trotting steed, ala Monty Python, complete with coconut halves, along with Key Bank President Mike Orsino. Lyons is a senior who also attends Niskayuna High School.

In addition to announcing new shows, the Proctor's media event highlighted corporate sponsors and the theatre's ongoing, $27 million expansion, which will include new learning location for Theatre Arts Technology (new classroom, shop, art and computer spaces), black box theatre at 440 State St. and GE multi-use theatre. During the past few years, Proctor's significantly expanded its stage house and main performance areas. "All of the changes benefit the students, who are learning their profession in real-time, real-world surroundings," said teacher Jeff Knorr. "We have a great partnership with Proctor's."

Proctor's will also be home to the 8th Step Coffee House, which will host acoustic and folk performances and a new Plays Festival celebrating original works. Theatre Arts Technology students will design and construct sets and lighting for the festival.

Theatre Arts Technology is open to high school and adult students and meets during the regular school calendar. For more information, email teacher Jeff Knorr.
