Many
of the greatest theatrical endeavors have been created for a small stage.
This
makes them perfect for production at the Liberty Free Theatre, which
seats no more than a few dozen audience members.
While
our stage area is also small, our productions are filled with all the drama
seen in theatres a hundred times larger.
When
we recently staged "Off the Wall," a melange of pieces both large
and small compiled by Paul Austin, our tiny stage almost overflowed with
more than a half-dozen performers.
In
this case, they were all members of the Free Theatre Workshop Group, our own
array of local actors studying to perfect their craft.
