         <title>ACTING WORKSHOP</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/elliewelliesj/TestAlbum/photo#5230707930140011778"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/elliewelliesj/SJc1JiPQbQI/AAAAAAAAADA/HLOtqN_iNIw/s144/DSC06651.JPG" /></a></p>

<p><strong>The most recent acting workshop at the <em>Green Mango</em> was a great success due to the fantastic turn out and enthusiastic crowd. An afternoon of games, improv and script work left everyone excited about the next big show. Look out for auditions coming soon!</strong></p>

<p>Reviews of the workshop</p>

<p><em>"absolutely fantastic by the way, relaxed yet funny, great mix of people, enthusaiastic and talented...."</p>

<p>"Excellent, surprising, fun,well organised and really well prepared,with a really nice group of people, it really was much more than I expected!"</p>

<p>"Many thanks to the stunning, talented, vivacious (and impressively organised) Director Ruth for running the acting workshop on 27 July. All the jolliest Hanoians were there -- kung fu artists, women in labour, astronauts, strippers, snobs, spastics, zombies and the obligatory dehydrated elf. It looks like the upcoming production will be a smash -- and smashing fun. I'm very glad to have met all of you, be trapped in an elevator and learn about our cartilage together. (not to mention the bizarre opera-homicide that followed)"</em></p>]]></description>

         <title>Two One-Act Plays</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://photos.ponybob.com/data/thumb/1/197.jpg" border="0" style="border: 1px solid #FFF; padding: 3px;" vspace="3" hspace="3" align="left" alt=""></a><br />
<strong>Two great one-act plays stormed Hanoi in one evening!</strong><br />
<strong>23 and 24 November 2007</strong><br />
<strong>At Nha Hat Kich Theatre</strong></p>

<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Zoo_Story"><strong>The Zoo Story by Edward Albee</strong></a><br />
A play exploring themes of isolation, loneliness, social disparity and dehumanization in a commercial world.</p>

<p><img src="http://photos.ponybob.com/data/thumb/1/198.jpg" border="0" style="border: 1px solid #FFF; padding: 3px;" vspace="3" hspace="3" align="left" alt=""></a><strong>The Apple by Jimmy Brunelle</strong><br />
A fast-moving satire about perceptions people create and project upon art. While working in an art museum, a janitor leaves an apple behind on an empty pedestal. Art critics and patrons including a spaced-out hippie and Elvis re-incarnated come along and think it was meant to be a piece of art. Discussions ensue and escalate.</p>

<p>23 and 24 November 2007</p>

<p><strong>Program</strong><br />
The Zoo Story<br />
20 Minute Intermission<br />
The Apple</p>
