In conjunction with the Association of Community Theatres-Central Ontario, the Borelians will hold the skill-building workshops May 30 to June 1 at Prince Albert Community Hall.

The actor's workshop will provide local actors a chance to work with Richard Howard, a member of the Theatre Ontario Talent Bank, Canadian and American Actors' Equity and founder of the Pull-Chain Theatre in Sault St. Marie. Actors will be introduced to the process of inner work needed to develop a believable and truthful form of acting. There will be time for questions and experimentation. The workshop runs May 30, 31 and June 1.

On May 31, Jennifer Hardie will talk about creative strategies for costume and prop design. She's part of the design team that recently won ACT-CO THEA awards for costume and set design for the Borelians' production of Alice in Wonderland. She excels at creating specialty/fantasy costumes and props using found and recycled materials, imagination and resourcefulness.

Registration closes May 8 for the actors' workshop and May 20 for creative costuming. Fees are $95 for actors' workshop for Borelians and ACT-CO members, $125 for non-members, and $40 for the creative workshop for members, $50 non-members.
