Hi All,

We’re so grateful to you for being a part of The Barrow Group. Thank you.

One of the most common questions asked of us is “You have such a powerful training program and approach to acting – why don’t you produce more plays?” Well, we are listening to you.

Our goal this coming year is to offer more productions and readings in our main stage and studio theaters, so that we can share our approach with more people beyond the classroom. This can only happen with your help.

(http://r20 NULL.rs6 NULL.net/tn NULL.jsp?f=001cYUcr6abQQWNSKu5_gDdH2pFAj5VP9any_-0JQ0LvQObJayGysmmH54XdVDS7T5AmZwu9hho6cy2KvPOjZjNmJZEIPRRsNdqCDUkIWJX1N8-DqZn4oAA4yvTeBiGS6CWUp3Dtpq_YIUBzsEKYZGwNa6wItB-3yn0CeDVSFWBuYJ9YhVXvUBA6K132IbIz13ypT2dAC-oczI=&c=EsOmpjky6Uae_TDFmUDKMn-qychwbsOwT8mTbSJsqUxKEMUpey-SLg==&ch=EOe3w6O831n4kV2Jx_rXfMQC89uxiZ9zdcpkjUiBzufLKCbh0oK0PQ==)In June, we will present Craig Wright’s THE PAVILION in our main stage theatre, featuring a cast of TBG students and alumni. In January, our free public Reading Series will begin meeting the 2nd Sunday of every month in our studio theatre. We’re thrilled to announce that next season, we plan on doing two main stage shows – in the fall, SHORT STUFF, and in the spring, a second production.

As you know, ticket sales cover only a fraction of total production expenses – that’s the nature of producing not-for-profit theater. Our donation goal for this coming year is $50,000, which will help make this programming possible.

This is where you come in – if you each chip in $20, the cost of a movie ticket and popcorn, we can easily reach this goal. Please consider making a donation today and help us produce this coming season. You can make a one-time or recurring donation at barrowgroup.org/donate (http://r20 NULL.rs6 NULL.net/tn NULL.jsp?f=001cYUcr6abQQWNSKu5_gDdH2pFAj5VP9any_-0JQ0LvQObJayGysmmH_j9u-in_RnSYTIH_C_NhMWptco4rc3V5k1W-X9J-X6KJFdCDtWyyKiRdEaf4Lg40dqC4GA9Qz0Y8ubFENw_xo85A88cMdMnZne73Fny8TVPhgR0opOx2k_cCn8PkQ4ERw==&c=EsOmpjky6Uae_TDFmUDKMn-qychwbsOwT8mTbSJsqUxKEMUpey-SLg==&ch=EOe3w6O831n4kV2Jx_rXfMQC89uxiZ9zdcpkjUiBzufLKCbh0oK0PQ==).

Thanks so much for your feedback that you want to see more shows at The Barrow Group.

We do too. You have a huge role to play in making this happen, and we’re so grateful for your support.

Have a great New Year!

All the best,

Lee, Seth, Robert, Porter, Farrah, Alyson, Elizabeth, Mark, Becca and Carmen

Robert Serrell announced as Executive Director of The Barrow Group

THE BARROW GROUP THEATRE COMPANY AND SCHOOL ANNOUNCES ROBERT SERRELL AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

September 29, 2014 – New York, New York – The Barrow Group Theatre Company and School is thrilled to announce its Board of Trustees, along with Co-Artistic Directors Seth Barrish and Lee Brock, have instated Robert Serrell as Executive Director. www.barrowgroup.org

Founded in 1986, The Barrow Group (TBG) has spent the last twenty-eight years refining a specific approach to storytelling that focuses on spontaneity and clarity. The company has shared its techniques with thousands of theater and film artists, many of whom consider TBG their artistic home.

Robert Serrell announced as Executive Director of The Barrow Group

Serrell joined TBG in 2010 as Director of Education. During his tenure the annual school revenue increased by 600% and annual website visits by 1,000%. In 2012, CBS News named TBG one of the top five acting studios in New York City. This year, the New York Foundation for the Arts named Serrell an “Emerging Leader”.

With Serrell as its Executive Director, TBG is poised for its most exciting year yet and will realize extensive growth in its education and production capacities. In just the next six months, TBG will offer weekend acting workshops across the world – from India this November to Los Angeles, California to Boston, Massachusetts. TBG’s highly popular youth curriculum will expand for the first time to offer satellite locations in Brooklyn, New York and Greenwich, Connecticut. By early 2015, Seth Barrish’s invaluable book, An Actor’s Companion, will be re-published by Theatre Communication Group with a forward by former student and Oscar winner Anne Hathaway, and TBG will host a MainStage production of The Pavilion in the spring.

Co-Artistic Directors, Lee Brock and Seth Barrish, said, “With Robert Serrell as Executive Director, TBG has an unlimited ability to impact the acting community. Robert understands who we are, what sets us apart from others, and has repeatedly demonstrated the passion and skill to get things done. We greatly look forward to working with Robert as we move into our third decade.”

Board President, David Diamond, added: “We are excited about having Robert in this new position. He brings fresh thinking and a deep understanding of how artists can be served best in a supported, well-funded environment.”

According to Serrell, “TBG is an inspiring community of teachers and artists who have developed one of the top actor training programs in world. They have an impressive history of award-winning theatrical productions, workshops and readings and I am honored to be asked to continue my work with them in this capacity. I look forward to partnering with the School, Company, board and staff to chart a course for the future.”
