On Tuesday the Joy to Life Foundation, a hugely successful Breast Cancer Awareness group based in Montgomery, invited ASF to participate in a viral video project to help raise awareness for Breast Cancer.
You can see that the cast is not only well trained in classical theatre, but can also get pretty "unce, unce" on the dance floor too. If you like this video DONATE NOW!

ASF: "The Fall of the House"
Another Southern Writers' Project World Premiere opened this weekend in the Alabama Shakespeare Festival's Octagon Theatre. "The Fall of the House", a haunting two act dreamscape by Robert Ford, links the past and the present and analyzes the consequences of our choices.An often puzzling script that nonetheless intrigues audiences, "The Fall of the House" is fortunate in its sheer literacy and its extraordinary performances, and anyone who is fascinated with figuring out a mystery is bound to get involved in its intricate plot.....

Our latest Ask an Actor question comes from Anonymous:
Q: What made you want to become an actor?
A: Honestly? "The Wizard of Oz." When I was three I used to dance around my house pretending to be Dorothy. At that time I also wanted a baby blue VW Bug with Ruby Slippers all over the hood. Needless to say that dream did not come to fruition. And I've yet to play Dorothy, but one year I did go as her for Halloween. I grew up singing and dancing and started performing locally (in Pennsylvania, where I grew up) in my community and eventually professionally. When I was nine I worked at my first Equity theatre and I have been blessed in the work I've done since.
I never really wanted to do anything else. I guess that makes me lucky. I had a goal and I set my mind to it. I hope when I'm old I can look back and say I've contributed something to this world. I think being an actor has made me a better person - playing different human beings has opened my mind and kept me curious, yet respectful. I try not to judge others (though I do admit to observing people I think are interesting for character research!) and I let everything in my life be a learning experience to fuel my art. To any aspiring actors out there I'd say this - be open to the world around you for within it are all the things with which you'll need to play.
