Curtain Call

A feature length documentary about more than just the rift between ideals and reality in arts education today:

In South Philadelphia, one arts program challenges its students to create an entire show of musical theatre...on their own. Guided by committed (and under-funded) teachers, we follow their efforts in a relevant and meaningful documentary by director James Doolittle.

The film premieres April 7, 2006 as part of the Philadelphia Film Festival. Mr. Doolittle (A/K/A, the Wookiee) is a friend (thanks to Gwynnie) and someone whose talent ought to be recognized. See the trailer.
