La'Ketta Caldwell, Boys & Girls Club of Greater Milwaukee
After finishing graduate school at NYU with a Masters specializing in Theater Education, La’Ketta moved to Milwaukee 2001 to work at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater. She moved on to First Stage Children’s Theater, before her current position as a Senior Program Manager at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee.
In that role, La’Ketta is a dynamo, working within many facets of the organization to plant seeds of greatness, restoration and hope in the city’s next generations.
“Arts as a platform to inspire and heal” is her method of bringing some of Milwaukee’s most essential, yet unheard, voices to the main stage.
In 2004, supported by the Wisconsin Arts Board, she wrote her first play “Colors of Youth.” The piece was based on stories of students, from city to suburbs, and took on the toughest challenges facing teenagers.
In 2007, La’Ketta partnered with the Milwaukee Public Theater to create Unclothed — the Naked Truth: Survivor’s Stories of Sexual Abuse and Healing. To write it, she interviewed over 100 women who had been sexually assaulted, and included survivors of abuse in the cast. The piece has been performed at locations around the city and state.
In 2012, La’Ketta created the documentary film “Can You Hear Us Now?,” a collaboration of students, community leaders, and theater professionals. It gives voice to young people in our city, processing trauma caused by violence, drug activity, and difficult relationships. The film premiered to a sold-out audience of nearly 1000 people at the Oriental Theater.
La’Ketta is also deeply committed to work with her church communities. With Calvary Baptist and Unity Gospel House of Prayer, La’Ketta has taken a leadership role in drama ministry. Even in her personal space of rejuvenation and inspiration, she helps others tell their story through theater and praise dance.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:

- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Laura Gordon, 2010 Lunt-Fontanne Fellow
In this video: 2010 Lunt-Fontanne Fellow, Laura Gordon, nominated by Milwaukee Repertory Theater. Laura talks about what is was like to spend the week working inside this National Historic Landmark, and a set of clips from the Fellow's public working session with Barry Edelstein.
(Ten Chimneys, Genesee Depot, Wisconsin) On July 11, 2010, nine of the most respected and talented actors from across the United States formed the 2010 class of the Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program and embarked on a week of intensive study at Ten Chimneys, led by master teacher Barry Edelstein.
The Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program is a groundbreaking national program to serve regional theatre actors and the future of American theatre. The program, created by Ten Chimneys Foundation, is a fitting tribute to Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, who are widely regarded as the greatest acting couple in the history of the American theatre. Through this program, the top actors in the country are given a rare and deeply-needed opportunity to grow artistically, renew their passion for their art form, and deepen their commitment to mentorship. Ultimately, the program does not exist simply to serve actors; the purpose of the Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program is to strengthen the ability of actors and theatres to enrich people's lives in communities across the country.
2010 Lunt-Fontanne Master Teacher, Barry Edelstein:
Widely respected as one of the leading Shakespeareans in the United States, Barry Edelstein is the Director of The Public Theater's Shakespeare Initiative, overseeing all Shakespearean production at the theater, as well as The Public's extensive educational, community outreach, and artist-training programs.

• Larry Yando: Chicago Shakespeare Theater (Chicago)
Mr. Edelstein and the 2010 Fellows dedicated their week of work to Inaugural LFFP Master Teacher, Lynn Redgrave (1943-2010).
2011 Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program:
Actress Olympia Dukakis, who is widely celebrated as one of the greatest American masters of interpreting and teaching the work of playwright Anton Chekov, will be the 2011 Master Teacher for the 2011 Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program. After two years of focusing on Shakespeare, the third weeklong retreat and master class at Ten Chimneys (July 24-31) will focus on Chekov.
