Follow on Google News | With schools facing unsteady transitions Laughing Pig Theatre launches virtual arts enrichment classTaylor Moschetti, the Artistic Director of Laughing Pig Theatre, is also a full-time Drama teacher for BASIS Education. She says she felt inspired to create the virtual program after speaking with other educators about how the arts programs at their schools had been affected. "Support for arts education in Arizona has always been threadbare, but the pandemic only exacerbated that," says Moschetti. "I wanted a program that allowed anyone, kids or adults, to improve themselves without risking their health." Moschetti and Laughing Pig have brought on a team of expert Teaching Artists from across Phoenix and beyond to lead a variety of specialized courses on movement, sketch writing, meditative painting, improvisation, acting with developmental disabilities and more. Some of these instructors are working professionals in the Valley theatre scene, while others were met through the Molly Blank Fund ASU Gammage Teaching Artist Program, which Moschetti and her husband and co-founder Tony Moschetti completed earlier this year. Laughing Pig Theatre was established in 2017 and quickly integrated itself in the Phoenix Underground theatre scene. It focuses on the production of new and ground-breaking work from playwrights like Rachel Lynett, Darcy Parker Bruce, and MJ Kaufman. They are proud to be an anti-racist, LGBTQIA+ friendly theatre for social change for artists of all ages and abilities. Register today: https://www.laughingpigtheatre.org End
