'Within Us' Remounted by LA City College Theatre Academy

Fred Fate, Chair and Producing Director of the Los Angeles City College Theatre Academy (LACCTA) has announced the Theatre Academy will open its 79th Annual Spring Season with A Limited Return Engagement of Within Us, an original work of ensemble-based physical theatre developed and inspired by an investigation of The Seven Deadly Sins of Pride, Envy , Anger, Sloth, Greed, Lust and Glutton.

Conceived by Leslie Ferreira and Directed and Choreographed by Leslie Ferreira and Tina Kronis. Within Us is an exploration of the boundary line between dance and theatre.  It considers the relationship between motion and emotion and how what is physical and what is emotional can interrelate.  On a physical level, it is a collage and a montage of images. 

Upcoming performances, which will benefit the Theatre Academy, will be held on Thursday, February 7, 2008 at 7:15PM; Friday, February 8, 2008 at 8PM and Saturday, February 9, 2008 at 8PM.  All performances of this Limited Engagement of Within Us will be held in the Caminito Theatre; Los Angeles City College; 855 N.
