Making Your Holiday Shows a Success

At Broadway Media, our goal is to make theatre more accessible. Many others in the industry understand this as well, such as Kristy Whilden and her son Anthony from <a href="https://www.handsup-theatre.org/about-hands-up">Hands Up Silent Theatre</a> in New Jersey. Their mission is an inspiration, and Anthony has discovered the perfect way to contribute to the work they do. Come along with us as we learn more about their organization and this incredible young projection technician.

Heather, Community Manager at Broadway Media: Hello, Kristy. Working with Hands Up Silent Theatre is truly an honor for us. Could you tell us a little about your organization?

Kristy, Co-Founder/CEO/Director of Hands Up Silent Theatre: Sure! Our mission at Hands Up Silent Theatre is to encourage the d/Deaf/Hard of Hearing communities to learn more about the performing arts and to encourage the hearing to learn ASL and interact with d/Deaf/HOH peers. Our vision is to create performances for the d/Deaf/HOH and hearing communities to enjoy as one! All of our actors sign and voice at the same time to create not just an accessible but a truly equal immersive experience for all. I was a music educator for 10 years before losing most of my hearing in 2014. I went back to school to obtain a degree in ASL and Deaf Studies. My daughter Hailey, our co-founder, also has the same degree. She encouraged me not to lose my love of the performing arts forever and so Hands Up Silent Theatre was founded!

Heather: What an incredible mission! Thank you for sharing your story with us. I understand you have a very talented backdrop technician. Could you introduce us to him?

Kristy: I do! This is my amazing 16-year-old son Anthony.

Heather: It's such a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for taking the time to chat with me! First, I want to thank you for making sure our <a href="https://www.broadwaymedia.com/scenic-projections">Scenic Projections</a> look their best in every performance! How long have you been involved in theatre?

Anthony, Backdrop Technician at Hands Up Silent Theatre: I've been in theater for 2 years but I have been the backdrop technician for <a href="https://www.broadwaymedia.com/shows/disneys-beauty-and-the-beast/beauty-and-the-beast/scenic-projections">Beauty and the Beast JR</a>, <a href="https://www.broadwaymedia.com/digital-backdrops">Little Shop Of Horrors,</a> and <a href="https://www.broadwaymedia.com/shows/roald-dahls-matilda-the-musical/matilda-musical/scenic-projections">Matilda.</a> <a href="https://www.broadwaymedia.com/shows/disneys-frozen/frozen-jr/scenic-projections">Frozen JR</a> will be my 4th show.

Heather: You have done a lot in 2 years! What led you to become the backdrop technician?

Anthony: Well, I told my mom I wanted to help her theater in some way but not be on the stage. I was studying tech theater as my major in middle school and I really liked working the light board. But since the <a href="https://levoy.net/">Levoy Theatre</a> we rent for our shows has a light tech my mom suggested I do the backdrops. My mom thought this role was best for me because I have super focus due to having autism.

Heather: How long did it take you to master <a href="https://help.broadwaymedia.com/category/130-stageplayer">StagePlayer</a>?

Anthony: Not really that long. With the help of mom setting it up and teaching me I got it down within a day. I was only 14 when I did my first show.

Heather: What is your favorite part of running the projections?

Anthony: My favorite part of running the projections is looking up and seeing the animations. I think Matilda has so far been my favorite because it's the only show that has animations that last more than a few minutes.

Heather: What advice would you give to someone using projections for the first time?

Anthony: The main thing would be to stay as focused as you can. Timing is a big key factor in this role. Don't go off task and get distracted by your phone. Put your phone on silent.

Heather: That’s excellent advice! Making the magic happen behind the scenes is a really important job. Hands Up Silent Theatre is really lucky to have you! Can we expect to see you running the projections for years to come?

Anthony: Yes! I am expecting to stay with Hands Up Silent Theatre for many years. I would love to be a backdrop technician full time for all of our local theaters!

Heather: Well, the sky's the limit. We can't wait to see what you do next!

Anthony: Thank you so much for interviewing me!

ASL makes the theatre community (and beyond) more accessible for all. See how you can express your enjoyment and appreciation of any performance by applauding in ASL. Unlike clapping in the hearing community, your hands do not make a sound.&nbsp;

Simply put, the sign for “applause” is waving both hands in the air with your palms open. Watch this brief video for a visual demonstration:&nbsp;

We want to extend a big thank you to Kristy and Anthony for allowing us the wonderful opportunity to talk with them and learn about Hands Up Silent Theatre. Don’t miss their upcoming production of Disney’s Frozen JR, opening on April 13 at the Levoy Theatre.

Hands Up Silent Theatre creates immersive performances for the d/Deaf/HOH & hearing communities to enjoy together. Actors sign & voice at the same time to create an accessible experience for the audience. Broadway Media has worked with this incredible organization many times, and would like to introduce you to their amazing projections technician - 16-year-old Anthony!

A Decade of Showstoppers: Broadway Media’s Best Sellers 

Theatrical titles from Disney are a great way to introduce your students to theatre using characters and stories with which they are undoubtedly familiar. Combine them with a 60-minute or 30-minute <a href="https://www.mtishows.com/broadway-junior">Broadway Junior runtime</a> and you’ve got yourself a show that’s easy to teach and fun for your kids to learn and perform! A significant part of your planning and budgeting a musical at your high school will involve production costs like set design, materials, and (if necessary) special elements that bring that all-important Disney magic – a flying carpet, London rooftops, an ice palace. While plot points like these might put a halt to your production planning (how DO I get a carpet to fly?), there are great, affordable solutions out there that will bring your production to life in ways you never thought possible before – and it’s accessible to school budgets of all shapes and sizes.

Digital Scenery is becoming a very popular method for creating sets and special effects on a budget – and often using the technology you already have in your classroom. Broadway Media’s Scenic Projections is show-specific projected digital scenery background packages designed to match every scene, setting and special effect in that show – what we call “script accurate”. Teachers across the world are turning to Scenic Projections to help them focus on what matters the most: the education and enrichment of their students. Without having to worry about constructing and painting a set, or renting expensive painted backdrops, teachers have found that they can cut the unnecessary stress out of the (already stressful) production process and improve their production quality at the same time. 

In this article, we’re going to explore some key moments in our favorite Disney shows, and how Scenic Projections are helping teachers solve production challenges. 

Disney’s Frozen JR. (also available as a 30-minute KIDS version)The video projections were absolutely gorgeous. They made our production and I am so thankful we used them for Frozen, JR. You made everything so easy! Fantastic product and company! - Trinity Christian Academy Disney’s Frozen JR. is a runaway success in the vast catalog of traditional and contemporary Disney stage shows, and that’s in no doubt partly due to its namesake internationally-acclaimed hit movie. The show has it all: an inspirational story of sisterhood, massive anthems like “Let It Go”, sun-worshipping snowmen, magic and adventure. A 60 or 30-minute Broadway Junior adaptation, then, is destined to be a hit at your school.

Broadway Media’s Scenic Projections help with bringing the magic and adventure to the stage, while you get your cast pitch-perfect. With incredible sequences like “Let It Go” that is timed perfectly to the music (below), Elsa’s ice castle will appear onstage as if by magic! 

Mary Poppins(also available as a 60-minute BROADWAY JUNIOR version)It gave our show the touch of uniqueness and class that we needed. The audience comments were very favorable, all this while making our job easier.- Mohawk High School

Based on the classic stories of P.L. Travers and the 1964 Walt Disney Film starring Julie Andrews, Mary Poppins brings to life our favorite classic characters onstage. Since release, the film has become a part of American film canon: in 2013, the film was selected for preservation by the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”. As one of the highest-grossing movies in the 20th Century, it’s not hard to believe that most of us have been touched by this classic story about family and its timeless score. Mary Poppins’ transfer to the stage in 2004 was a success – with a six-year run on Broadway, and a haul of Tony nominations (and a win for Best Scenic Design) in 2007, the musical has since become a popular choice for schools and amateur theaters to perform. The stage adaptation came with numerous stage magic and special effects to ensure the proper retelling of the story, much of which can seem out-of-budget for schools. Scenic Projections will help teachers make easy work of the cinematic musical, with smooth transitions between scenes, and even a Mary Poppins that flies in from the skies above London! 

‍(The sound of wind. MARY POPPINS appears. She is wearing a hat with cherries on the brim and carrying an umbrella with a handle shaped like a parrot’s head.)

Disney’s Aladdin JR. (also available as a 30-minute KIDS version)Broadway Media’s projections really topped off the show - everyone was completely RAVING about them and this new element we have introduced - it added to our stellar cast of students.- Academy of St. PaulDoes anyone forget the first time they watch Aladdin? This 1992 classic explores the true meaning of wealth and power with energy, humor and features an unforgettable performance by Robin Williams (serious props to the animators)! The transfer to the stage, and the <a href="https://www.mtishows.com/broadway-junior">Broadway Junior adaptations</a>, lose none of the wit and wisdom of the show, making it a superb story to tell at the school level. The centerpiece of the movie, and the stage musical, is undoubtedly the magic carpet ride during “A Whole New World”. Recreating this for the stage is an expensive and complicated process, but with Broadway Media’s digital scenery package, however? A trip over Agrabah is as simple as the click of a mouse.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Disney’s The Little Mermaid JR. (also available for the full-length show)Thank you for a good experience! I liked the images. They were sharp and colorful and added a lot to our show for very little expense. - Graham Middle School&nbsp;This musical is based on the 1989 Disney animated feature film, which explores (at the time) <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/little-mermaid-was-way-more-subversive-you-realized-180973464/">revolutionary themes of identity in Reagan-era America</a>. Hailed by the New York Times as “the best animated Disney film in at least 30 years”, Howard Ashman’s interpretation of the fairytale is heralded as ushering a new dawn for the studio following the death of its founder and namesake. The stage adaptation doubled down on the contemporary themes identified by Howard Ashman, as explained by the book writer, Playwright Doug Wright, that Arial is longing for "a world in which she feels truly realized in her own terms. ... Her ambitions are bigger than any one man." While the transfer to the stage was not always smooth-sailing, The Little Mermaid has found a home on the stages of schools and community theaters. Solving the obvious issues of cinematic scene changes from land to sea, Broadway Media’s Scenic Projections are a feast for the eyes - and make performing this musical a breeze.&nbsp;

The Lion King JR. (also available as a 30-minute KIDS version)The scenes for Disney's The Lion King JR. we're great. The images have allowed us go from one or two backdrops per show to 8 or more scenes per show. The scenes have really enhanced our show. - River City Theatre Company

Based on one of Disney’s most-adored animated films, The Lion King roared onto Broadway in 1997 and has stayed there ever since (it’s even grossed over $1 billion at the box office making it the highest-grossing Broadway show of all time). This record-breaking musical has since been adapted for the school stage with a 60-minute Junior adaptation and a 30-minute KIDS version. 

This tale of adventure, family and identity is a must-perform musical at the school level. With a classic, singable score from Elton John and Tim Rice, your students are well-equipped to bring a familiar story to life onstage. Scenic Projections help simplify the cinematic-adventure requirements of the book, with beautifully-drawn Pridelands, the Elephant Graveyard, and The Jungle, teachers can focus on their students giving an amazing performance! 

We just concluded our performance of Disney’s Moana JR. and used your beautiful projections. We got RAVE reviews from audience members – they LOVED them! - Carolyn Mottern, Southern Fulton High School.

Based on the 2016 animated Disney film of the same name, Moana JR. treads familiar territory of identity and self discovery, but injected with a fresh score from talents such as Lin Manuel Miranda (In The Heights, Hamilton) and Opetaia Foa’i (a Samoan composer and musician known for their South Pacific Fusion musical style). There’s something for everyone in this new hit musical from Disney Theatrical (much along the lines of Frozen JR.), but color-conscious casting is a must here. 

In the vein of much of the Disney musicals catalog, the script is inherently cinematic (it moves from location to location) and solves scene transition issues: particularly in Moana and Maui’s journey to Tamatoa’s underwater lair. Digital Scenery brings color and gorgeous animation to the production, reinforcing the unique stops along their quest for the heart of Te Fiti. 

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (also available as a 60-minute BROADWAY JUNIOR version)We were extremely pleased with the projections for our production of Beauty and the Beast. They added a magical element to the show and helped make the transitions seamless.- North Greenville University

Excluding the screen to stage-revue adaptations for their entertainment parks, Beauty and the Beast was the first Disney animated film to receive the Broadway treatment. Lauded as a transformative musical due to its success and the technical stagecraft required to bring the show to life onstage, Beauty &amp; The Beast is considered to be Broadway’s first legitimate family show. 

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (and the Broadway Junior version), then, is a great opportunity to introduce students (and their families) to musical theatre. With a well-known score and accessible themes, it’s certainly a title to do at least once. However, producing this musical is not without its challenges. Disney remained tight-lipped about their production budget, but significant design decisions and special effects were used to bring the transformation to life. A lot of these transformations can be solved with Scenic Projections, with stunning recreations of the black forest, and a palace that transforms as Beast’s curse is broken.

Top Disney Titles for Schools with Amazing Digital Scenery | Broadway Media

Top Disney Titles for Schools with Amazing Digital Scenery

We sat down with Albert Carter, longtime Choral and Theatre Director from Paul Laurence Dunbar Middle School (VA) to discuss why he uses Scenic Projections (Broadway Media’s theatrical backdrop projections), and how you can, too.&nbsp;

Broadway Media: Thank you for chatting with us, Albert. You’ve been a longtime advocate for digital scenery in your school, and you’ve used our Scenic Projections for many productions including Annie JR., Disney’s Frozen JR., The Music Man, and James and the Giant Peach. What do you like about Scenic Projections?

Albert Carter: First of all the quality of the projections are very professional and the style of the artwork fits the shows that they represent. &nbsp;With Scenic Projections, you can easily add set pieces, and have a great look that can change quickly and easily from scene to scene.

Broadway Media: What was your first time using Scenic Projections like?

Albert: Well, the first show that we used Scenic Projections was a very hectic situation. Our school stage and auditorium had a mold problem over the summer and we could not use it. &nbsp;We had to move to a high school stage and have set pieces and scenery that we could transport to that school. &nbsp;We couldn't build large sets, so I decided to use the Scenic Projections for our set with some furniture and a few set pieces that we also rented. &nbsp;Even though we were at another venue it worked very well, so when we returned to our stage I decided that I would continue to use Scenic Projections.

Broadway Media: I’m glad that projections helped you quickly adapt to a less-than-ideal situation! What advice would you give to first-time users of Scenic Projections (or those who are still on the fence)?

Albert: I would say that Broadway Media makes using Scenic Projections easy and painless. &nbsp;They are very supportive – you can call them and they walk you through technical issues step by step. &nbsp;It is very easy to do and just after one show you start to feel very confident in using their projections, and the audiences are very impressed with how professional the productions look.

Broadway Media: Throughout your shows, is there a projection moment from a show that stands out for you?

Albert: I would say that my favorite moment is the "Let It Go" sequence in the Disney’s Frozen JR. animated projections. &nbsp;It is timed to the song and works splendidly with however you chose to stage the number. &nbsp;The audience was blown away with that number and the applause stopped the show.

‍Broadway Media: Did you find that including Scenic Projections changed your production planning?

Albert: I think that Scenic Projections have given me more choices than in the past. &nbsp;Our stage does not have a counterweight system and even though we can fly battens it is slow and does not work in a live show. &nbsp;I have rented a backdrop from companies before but that only gives you one scene and then I would have to play scenes in front of black travelers which was a let down compared to the one backdrop. &nbsp;Now I can have a different look for each scene and the transitions are very smooth and can be very artistic. &nbsp;How so? These scenic projections open up even more possibilities.

Broadway Media: As a projection veteran, do you have tips for integrating projections into a production? (either technical or directoral) &nbsp;

Albert: I have mostly used the animated projections for the JR shows, but I used the still projections for our production of The Music Man which was the regular two act show. &nbsp;Our scene changes were very smooth and I used set pieces that rolled on and off stage and it was very effective. &nbsp;I recommend incorporating three dimensional set pieces in front of the projections to add depth to your set. &nbsp;I also would invest in a good projector if this is something that you plan on doing often.&nbsp;

Broadway Media: What advice would you give first-time users of Scenic Projections? &nbsp;

Albert: This company really works to make your production the best it can be and they offer stellar tech support. &nbsp;You do not need to be afraid to use their projections – and you get to start incorporating them much earlier than if you rented traditional backdrops, because you get access so much sooner.

Broadway Media: We’re grateful that many of our teachers are cross-disciplinarians from other departments, dedicated to introducing their students to theatre. Can you offer one piece of advice for a first-time director of a musical?

Albert: Start with a show that is designed for your age group like MTI’s Broadway Junior or R&amp;H Getting To Know.... They are very good adaptations of longer and more difficult shows and have great materials for the directors as well as the student actors. &nbsp;Do a show that you love, not something that you are indifferent to – the more you and your students love the show, the more effort everyone will give to the show. &nbsp;You should miss doing the show once the run is over and have fond memories of it for a lifetime. If you do not, you are not doing it correctly. &nbsp;Theatre is an art that comes from passion and love.
