Hi. I'm chiming in to describe some of the projects I dream of doing at Wega Arts. These include readings and performances of Shakespeare, plays by me (Kathy Fehl), brand new musicals, and maybe a production of Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett. I directed Waiting for Godot in NYC once and it was hard and strange but a lot of fun. Waiting for Godot used to be thought of as very modern and mysterious. It's still mysterious but it's kind of an old chestnut by now.

Well, time will tell. I'm really most excited about getting back to serious writing. I'm thrilled about the LeFaye chronicles; Holly Martin is working on the script adaptation from the novel which was written by Christy Robinson, right here in Weyauwega. 

Writing is a medium of expression available to everybody, for free. Following one's own thoughts is an ancient and rewarding pursuit. Recording one's own observations of everything that goes on around one is a way of being like a scientist and having the whole world as a laboratory. 

I have been struggling to find the time to write, even though I know from experience how happy it makes me. This struggle probably is familiar to many people; it is partly a sign of the times - one person is busier than the next - and also of the need to feel confident in the value of something one might try to do without being certain of a reward of any kind.

Well, I'm signing off for now.
Kathy.

Back to School Art Club

Labor day is behind us and we are diving into the school year head first. Camin Potts has joined the team as our Director of Education. Camin is a wonderful addition and we are so happy to have her. She brings an enthusiasm and love of art to everything she does, along with a long career in graphic arts. Welcome Camin!

Camin will be spearheading Art Club that begins September 15th at 4:00 - 6:00. Art Club is open to older children who love to get their hands dirty! They will begin by making the props and monsters for the Haunted Theater. This will be a hands on, practical application of art and artistic principals applied to real world projects. That's a mouthful but art isn't just painting pictures, it has an impact on every aspect of our lives. Art Club is the practical application of art and it's really fun. Parents should be seeing flyer's coming home with their children from school in the next few days.

Dues for art club are $15 per 4 week unit.

Web Site Change - Welcome Ian Teal Webmaster

It's the first of September, the kids are back in school and Wega Arts has a new look and feel.

The Wega Arts web site has changed, as it should. I have been the webmaster for over a year now and it is time for new blood. Welcome to Ian Teal webmaster. Ian has taken on the task of keeping up the web pages and bringing the new look and feel to life. Ian deals primarily in film so we are looking forward to many film snippets on the site. Take a look and send Ian your thumbs up or down on his new web design.
