Student Stage February Showcase

The Student Stage project opened on February 16th at TAS @ GreenHall.

Themed 'Trial & Error', the show was fully experimental with impromptu presentations by students.

'Conversations with Ben' featured Ben Singh and his guest, Yogi. Together, they performed several off the cuff stunts.
Accoustic musical numbers were presented by Alvin Dan and Daniel Chan, who performed their own compositions.

Showcase One was merely experimental. A trial run to examine the full potential of the project. Come March, we're prepared for something somewhat larger.

The First Student Stage

We had our first Student Stage on Saturday, February 16th, 2008. We had three entries, one of which was a stand-up comedy while the other two were a vocal and guitar performance.

Here's a special request from the audience...

Welcome to Greenhall

I'd like to personally welcome you to the virtual home of The Actors Studio Greenhall, Penang. This blog was created as an effort to provide better coverage of our activities and also of Penang's Arts scene. Previously, this blog was housed under the name "Behind the Red Helmet" at redroyalguard.blogspot.com. Nonetheless, I feel that the name could be misleading to some patrons, so I've decided to move the blog to a new site, with a new name. My apologies for all inconvenience caused!

Nonetheless, the past articles can still be accessed on the old blog, which will - as of present - be inactive. Please follow this link to view the previous posts from Behind the Red Helmet.
