    Greasepaint Scottsdale Youtheatre

    Serving Scottsdale and surrounding communities, Greasepaint Youtheatre programming is designed to develop the life skills and aesthetic knowledge that Youth will carry with them both as Artists and Audiences of Tomorrow.

    Their mission is to nurture the intellectual, artistic, and personal development of Youth through a range of professionally managed and directed theatrical experiences, drama education, and the power of live theatre performances.

    Greasepaint Youtheatre's philosophy is to provide child-centered programming, founded in arts curriculum and national standards for the performing arts. This professionally-designed programming, taught by expert teaching artists, creates an environment which provides a safe and open forum for each student interested in experiencing the Arts to personally explore new and exciting forms, while at the same time, building life skills they will display in the community. Each program will have a purpose, a focus, and serve the community as a whole, while also providing Greasepaint with a population of eager and talented student-performers who will demonstrate those skills by helping create a piece of live theatre.

        (continued)...the only thing that bothered me was, when the show finally started, not even half the size of the house was filled. This, my friends, is a problem. Every single person in the valley's very large theater community needs to take a gander at this moving and touching show. If the message of this show is not delivered to as many people as possible whats the point of the message? Do not let yourself regret not seeing this show, cause in the end of october, if you haven't bought your ticket yet, you will, I promise you, definitely be beating yourself up. What makes this show different from any other production of Rent is it is done by kids Collapse

        This show is the most groundbreaking achievement for youth theater in Scottsdale since I can remember. The subject matter is very controversial and some presume that a show as intense as this should not and cannot be done by the youth of our valley. They were wrong. D. Scott Withers captured the heart, spirit and message of this "role of the dice" show with his perfect casting and brilliant staging. Alan Plado's music direction and rockin' band also deserve much of the credit that needs to be given to this show. Beth Reynold's choreography is just the icing on the cake to this German chocolate of an break through (haha). The brand new sound equipment and sound design, which make "easy listening" sound overworked, add a brand new level to the support and prosperity of the new Greasepaint. Michael Eddy, being the already known genius that he is, created a lighting design that reflected the attitude of this edgy production. Again every cast member is perfect but the only thing...

        The show Mulan Jr. at Stagebrush Theatre was one of the best performances I have yet to see with my child, in the Valley. The acting was great but the music blew me away.On the way home my child had all the words to "I'll Make A Man Out of You" stuck in his head. The older male actors, such as the boy who played Qian-Po really kept me laughing. A great comedy to keep the whole family laughing. Collapse

        I will start with the young actors in the production of Mulan Jr. The ancestors who are the narrators of the tale all do a wonderful job with exspressive facial expressions. Grandma fa played by young Jessica was the true star of the show who had a great feel for the character. Mulan played by Sierra has a wonderful voice but I think she was miscast as the role of Mulan, she didn't remind me at all of the disney's character, which she should. Mushu was played by Jaylia who was great at the role she moved just like a dragon with a wonderful belt! The Matchmaker played by Danielle interpretation of the role was different from the disney movie but still great!Captain Shang was played by Yichao who had a good stage presence. Director did a good job bringing the disney movie to life. The Costumes and Lighting were dissapointing. The sets were simple and sweet. Overall I was impressed. Thank you to Phoenix Theatre!

        I laughed... I cried... I stood on my feet and cheered! OK, that's a little overboard, but it's all true. This show is a lot of fun to watch. The singing is outstanding, the costumes and lighting are a treat, and many scenes are really crack-you-up funny! This production of Mulan Jr. is well executed and well cast. Because it's fast-paced and not too long (well under 90 minutes), this is a great show to attend with the kids. Collapse

        An awesome performance by young, very young (6-19) actors. Their voices, the choreography, wardrobe design, etc. Completely breathtaking... Funny and dramatic. Great job!
