Proudly taking our seat as a supporter of the arts in Atlanta.

Today, children are starving in the Horn of Africa.But we can save them.

It’s the worst drought in 60 years. Food is scarce. And over 2 million children’s lives are at risk. $10 can feed a malnourished child for 10 days. If you believe the number of children dying from malnutrition should be ZERO, join us.

Why The Real Tweenagers of Atlanta? Does this play have anything to do with “The Real housewives” television reality series?

This play should bear very little resemblance to the series although in “reality” the titles may have been assigned for similar reasons. in the way that housewives often feel their lives are not accurately defined by the word “housewife”— a so-called “tweenager” is apt to feel the same way about himself or herself. if you look up “real” in the dictionary, synonyms include “genuine,” “authentic” and the phrase: “not to be taken lightly.” hmmm. Respect is at issue here. This is the third season that the Alliance Theatre has delved into the very neglected but fascinating culture that is the world of the tween by presenting an original play that directly reflects their

experiences. i have nothing but respect for what they deal with on a daily basis — from trying to find a place in the lunch room where you are free from bullies to joining the right club or surviving cRcT testing. Throughout the past three years i have had the great privilege and pleasure of speaking to and reading the writings of hundreds of tweens. They are an eclectic, entertaining and profound group of people.

here is a little sample of what they have to say. The following was penned by Riley Schatz in an Alliance Acting class:i feel real when i read a book and i am sucked into another world full of color.i feel real when people say “good job.”i feel real when i’m holding a guitar, ready to play before a recital or at home

for myself or family or friends.i feel real when i get good grades or do better than i think.i feel real on a snowy day with my neighbors, sipping hot chocolate or when in the pool

completely immersed in water.i feel real sitting around a campfire.i feel real when i say — “That’s my Dad or mom or Sister.”i feel real on my birthday or when i lose a tooth.i feel real when i feel loved.

Thank you for visiting us here at the “Assembly” and for caring about what goes on in the minds and hearts of tweens.

s anyone who has ever done it knows all too well, raising a tween [ages 10-14] can be challenging. But being a tween can be equally

difficult, if not more so. There are few directors in Atlanta better suited to tackling a production about the trials and tribulations of the middle-school crowd than Rosemary Newcott, the Alliance Theatre’s award-winning Sally G. Tomlinson Artistic Director of Theatre for Youth & Families. She recently spoke about her inspiration for The Real Tweenagers of Atlanta, what she learned about tweens in the process of creating the show, and what she hopes audiences will take away from the production.

What were the inspirations behind the show’s concept?Outside of the title, The Real Housewives reality-TV series does not inform this production. The inspiration comes from the fact that the middle-school years are eternally challenging. These young people are trying to find their own

identities in a world that treats them one moment as a child and the next as an adult. Despite the challenges and amount of angst, middle-school people are also extremely funny, as the plight of “being between” can elicit some strange and surprising behavior.

What were the unique challenges of The Real Tweenagers of Atlanta?We’ve presented in this [student assembly] format for two years and discovered that as long as we approach the characterizations with integrity, the audience is willing to go along with us on the journey. The conceit is that the audience is seated at a school assembly. Four student representatives have been charged to conduct the assembly — in this case leading an exploration of what it means to be a “real tweenager.” The biggest challenge of playing for a middle-school audience is that what you are presenting must honestly connect to them. So as we create the show, we need to keep a mind to what makes this group of young people tick.

I’ve read that the show was built on interviews with tweens. What was that process like, and how did you get the kids to feel comfortable talking openly about their lives?There is a nomination form available on our website, so anyone of any age can “nominate” a real tween. A group of real tweens is selected by a panel and “honored” at the opening day of the show. [To create the show], we conduct workshops wherein the cast and [those] middle-schoolers interact by playing improvisational games, and we conduct question-and-answer sessions. Also, the education department of the Alliance Theatre has structured actual “Help Create the Real Tweenagers

of Atlanta Script” classes. Here, actors and kids interact in more games, writing and song-creating exercises that inform the final product. The Alliance Institute for Educators and Teaching Artists [also] sends professional teaching artists out to the schools and works with the students and teachers to produce more material.

What were the most surprising revelations from those interactions?Lockers are sacred “home-away-from-home environments.” Texting during school is far more prevalent than I would have imagined, and the subject of phones in school is a hot topic of debate. Tweens’ knowledge of what is happening in the newsworthy world beyond them varies widely but, when they are aware of what’s going on, their opinions are strong. And Justin Beiber is still popular!

What are the central messages you hope audiences will take away from this show?There are a few. The definition of “real” can vary. Accepting differences can lead to mutual respect, or a better personal understanding of others. Laughing, even when stuff is painful, can be healthy, or at least temporarily ease the pain. And no matter how old we are, we are always “between” one age and another.

Founded in 1968, the Alliance Theatre remains closely tied to the cultural identity of Atlanta, growing as the city has grown. in 1977, the Alliance merged with the Atlanta children’s Theatre (1929) to include Atlanta’s youngest audiences in fully produced theatrical experiences. in 1979, the Alliance created the Theatre School (now the Acting Program and Education Department) in order to strengthen the relationship with our community. in 2007, under the leadership of Susan Booth, Artistic Director, the Alliance received the Regional Theatre Tony Award®.

The Alliance has created a large body of new work: world premiere musicals with a strong track record of Broadway, touring and subsequent regional productions; the plays of early career playwrights through the Alliance/Kendeda National graduate Playwright competition; work on a nationally watched stage, launching and sustaining Atlanta’s artistic community; and original plays for young audiences at every age level.

The Alliance takes great pride in our educational programming through the institute for Educators and Teaching Artists, community education including classes for all ages and abilities of theatre interest; and adult student productions of unproduced plays in development. Twice recognized by the Federal Department of Education as leaders in the field of arts education, these programs reflect the Alliance’s commitment to arts access.

The Alliance Theatre strives to set the highest artistic standards and create the powerful experience of shared theatre for a diverse audience. Above all else, we value excellence, pursued with integrity and creativity, and achieved through collaboration.

41. There’s never a dull moment!

Rita Rudner must have had adolescents in mind when she said, “My husband and I are either going to buy a dog or have a child. We can’t decide whether to ruin our carpet or ruin our lives.”

Middle school youngsters earn some of the barbs aimed at them — because sometimes they act more like second graders than seventh graders! But one must realize that students in the middle grades are in that strange world between childhood and adolescence. Their minds, emotions and bodies are changing. And these changes are on a large scale.

Ed Feldstein found his dream profession after college, teaching middle school social studies in Harlem (New York City) and New City, N.Y., Montclair, N.J., and Kennesaw, Ga. He also taught education at two colleges.
