#ConcertsForKids
For family audiences, we are teaming up with a remarkable group of artists who will bring world-class performances and diverse musical perspectives straight from their homes to yours. We are excited to share these short performances recorded by the artists themselves with your family at home.
Wednesday, April 15 at 4:00 pm ETGustafer YellowgoldGustafer Yellowgold’s concert is a funny and touching multimedia performance of music, colored pencil animations and storytelling. The music and ‘moving art’ are performed by two-time Grammy nominated songwriter, cartoonist and author, Morgan Taylor. All of the songs are whimsical and super catchy narratives that explain the life of a friendly alien from the Sun who now resides in a wildly imaginative version of the woods of Minnesota. Ride along with 9-year old “sunling” Gustafer, in this wildly imaginative, melancholy musical comedy!

April Panel via Zoom
Solo Strategies: Finding Your Story
(and the People Who'll Want to Hear It)
Tuesday, April 21, 2020 at 7:30pm
Theater Resources Unlimited (TRU) presents the April Panel
Solo Strategies: Finding Your Story (and the People Who'll Want to Hear It) on Tuesday, April 21, 2020 via Zoom. Networking begins at 7pm and the panel starts at 7:30pm. Reserve a spot on the event page at https://truonline.org/events/s
A message from Bob Ost, executive director of TRU:
"Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all TRU live events are being rescheduled while we wait for the all clear. To help bridge the gap of social distancing, this panel will be held virtually via Zoom. Email TRUStaff1@gmail.com to be added to the invitation list and join our community. Stay positive, test negative, be safe!"
In this time of required isolation, solo performance is uniquely positioned for effective virtual presentation. Solo performance guru and writer/director Gretchen Cryer will guide audiences through the creative journeys of five solo artists with whom she is working, including son Jon Cryer. We'll consider how an outside eye may be essential to help shape a story and find the universal truths in personal details, as well as bring out a dramatic arc that generates audience engagement and genuine drama. But ... writing and performing is only part of the picture. Most writers have a hard time embracing that marketing is also an art form creating a demand for a product through creative communication. Abby Stokes and guests will share guerilla marketing techniques -see marketing through a new lens and be shown how to think outside the box, identify and maximize a play's resources, along with step-by-step tools for organizing a strategic plan.
