Jeremy Walker ’04, the director of the club’s production of Pippin in the Loeb Experimental Theater, said he was optimistic about the interest the open house would generate for undergraduate shows.
“As an advertising tool, it’s amazing. It was really great to have people who came to talk to ART people also show an interest in student shows,” Walker said.
Meanwhile, the workshops delighted and educated visitors.
In addition to the dialect workshop, there were lessons provided in singing and stage movement.
Kate Cubeta, a native of Arlington and subscriber to the ART, brought her sons Nate, 13, and Charlie, 11, to the day-long event.
“I really liked the dialect thing. I didn’t think it would be so easy to change from one accent to another,” Nate said.
