"The Sky is Melting" combines
forms of art and performance to show the universal struggle of one girl
with the alluring and powerful world of drugs and addiction. It is one
woman show performed by Liz Woodbury, who recently graduated from Oberlin
College with a B.A. in Theater. During her time at Oberlin, Liz worked
extensively both behind the scenes and on stage in both student directed
and department sponsored pieces. Woodbury created and facilitated
an after school theater program for sophomore students at Southview High
School in Lorain OH as well as developed other theater based education
programs for high school and college students. Upon graduation, Woodbury
moved to NYC to work with the educational outreach theater group, The Irondale
Theater Ensemble based in Brooklyn, as their intern for the '09-'10 season.
Through Irondale, Woodbury has been teaching at Bushwick Leaders High School
as a teaching artist. It is also with Irondale that Woodbury made her New
York acting debut in their premiere of "alice, Alice, ALICE"
in January.
