There I sat at the far end of a dark theater house. The energy flowing through the hall is rather papyrus and fills me with great anticipation. When the curtain opened, and the light on the stage began to play on colorful costumes, a group of talented young actors came on the stage with the fervor of experienced professionals! I was immersed in what can only be described as a kind of movement, a revolution, if you want a new and very polished children's theater.
It was only the third day of a ten-day technical rehearsal with the cast and crew, and after the first few musical numbers and scenes he spoke out of the dark with such a commanding presence that I knew that he had to be the director of the show, Trevor Weaver.
I have heard many wonderful compliments of Trevor Weaver’s work at the Children’s Theater, but I never realized the level of professionalism that he could get from so many students who were changing in age from 6 to 17 years old.
Trevor began his own career at the mature age of six months on a 1960 television series, Adam 12. Later, he continued to work on many popular TV shows and commercials, including "Eight Is Enough, Little House on" The Praire, Kid & Inc. And 21 Jump Street.
Trevor left his lucrative career in Hollywood to live in Bay Bay in 1997, and it was here that he created his acting school, Kids Take The Stage. By the time he and I met with pleasure, he had released about a hundred productions in Alameda, San Ramone and Fremont and worked with more than 5,000 students. It was immediately necessary for me, because he managed to create such a worthy organization and enable many children of the Bay Area.
Unfortunately, in 2010, the company, which Trevor spent his long work for more than ten years, was forced to close a few days before the opening of the big summer show. It was one of Trevor’s most dismal decisions, and he was in pain for what he had to do.
By providing negative press in connection with the closure of the company, Trevor provided only one journalist with the opportunity to interview him, and I was honored when he shared these words with me. “No one will ever understand the pain, sadness and difficulty of immunity, which were close to the exponential days before the opening, when so many young actors were crushed so as not to be able to carry their own pockets. The problems were too deep and too quickly bumped into us for something else, but close our doors, nothing but wonderful things for your future! "
After some time searching for the soul, Trevor now does what he does best, and writes straight. He is currently the managing director of Play and Profundity and continues to be a guide for a new set of children and adults.
This journalist thanks you for singing in the theater scene in the Bay Area, and we will miss you more than you ever know.
