Dugan Zier is one of the top high-school center backs in New York State.

BY DANIEL JEAN-LUBIN  |  The moment Dugan Zier laced up his first pair of cleats for the Downtown United Soccer Club at the age of 5, he knew soccer was the sport for him.

“I’m never nervous during the game. It all slows down for me and I can always think clearly,” Zier said in an interview.

It’s that poise and feel for the game that have made the 16-year-old center back from Greenwich Village one of the highest ranked prospects in New York State. The 6-foot-tall defender, who attends Fieldston High School, spent some time developing his game on a travel team before being scouted and picked up by the New York Red Bulls developmental academy. Last year, as a first-year player, Zier experienced the proudest moment of his young career. After growing with his team as a developmental player throughout the season, Zier helped his club in the postseason win the Major League Soccer cup on the Red Bulls U-15 team.

Zier recently verbally committed to one of the top soccer programs in the country, University of California, Santa Barbara. And he also has professional prospects on his mind.

“It’s been my dream,” he said.

He also knows what it is going to take for him to make those dreams a reality,

“The hardest thing for me is always staying consistent,” he said. “The only way I will succeed in the game is to never have an off day.”

A dedicated player, Zier practices hard multiple times a week, developing elite vision and excellent passing skills to go along with his drive to achieve greatness.

“Never being called into a national camp is something that has always bothered me,” he said. “And now I use it as motivation, and hopefully one day I will be able to wear the U.S. national team jersey.”

He combines exceptional top-end speed with deft ball skills and a knack for playing in tight spaces, all of which allow him to be efficient in traffic as well as on the perimeter.

With his terrific start this season, Dugan Zier has made a very strong bid for some international selections going his way. Zier and the Red Bulls look to pick up their second straight M.L.S. cup as the number one seed this postseason.

With spills and thrills, kids enjoyed the seasonal ice skating rink outside the Standard Hotel in the Meatpacking District.

BY BENJAMIN TOCKER  |  One year since launching a set of girls softball programs at Pier 40, attendance for P3’s all-girl softball activities is on the rise again.

With six sets of one-week softball camps on the horizon, P3 is providing a crucial outlet for girls to remain involved in organized softball. For many of these girls, the new programs would be their only way to remain playing meaningfully competitive softball.

Now in their 12th year, Pier 40’s P3 baseball programs have had co-ed leagues in the past, but they typically did not have the same staying power with girls as they did with boys.

In describing the spike in interest of the girls summer softball camp at the West Houston St. pier, Scott Morrison uses an idiom immediately recognized by many sports fans: “If you build it, they will come.”

Indeed, enrollment has already doubled for this year’s summer programs, with coaches on hand ready to teach the finer details of the game in an effort to inspire an elevated level of play.

Morrison and his daughters are gearing up for a summer of softball in which, as he put it: “Nobody’s just sitting down counting blades of grass — everybody’s paying attention.”

The games will be in the fast-pitch model, with more attention paid to details like base stealing, base running and sacrifices, and a greater focus on “small ball,” where every aspect of the game is stressed.

Morrison is one of many parents who appreciate the effort that the program at Pier 40 has put into the revitalization of girls softball. Besides teaching them the fundamentals and skills of softball, the upcoming summer camps will provide the girls with team-building experiences and a chance to make many new friends. Morrison cited extensive research published by Forbes that connects corporate success and team sports.

Renae Beauchman, a former softball star at Long Island University who will lead the camp, knows a thing or two about team sports. Beauchman started playing softball at age 14 and was on a traveling team before going to L.I.U. on a softball scholarship.

This is Beauchman’s first year coaching at Pier 40 after she led a similar camp in her native California. She’s most excited for the girls to start experiencing the same teammate bonding that she knew from several years of traveling softball teams.

“The camaraderie between having an all-girls team is just so much different than that of a co-ed team,” she said.

While stressing the importance of team play, Beauchman is undoubtedly excited herself to be in the game.

“For me, this is like being on a team again,” she said.

Registration is now open for P3’s Pier 40 girls softball camps, which run from July 9 to Aug. 31. Visit Pier40.org or call 212-989-3764 for more details.

From left, Zachary Zamsky, David Kimple and Jeff Marras as the Harp were perfectly in tune in the last production at C.A.S. on Sullivan St.

BY TIM LALUMIA  |  Fairy tales are tough to do well onstage. Unfortunately, typical children’s theater does a lot of bad fairy tales. Mostly nightmare, less dream.

However, the New Acting Company’s presentation of “Jack and the Beanstalk” was anything but typical. The production was original, poignant and shrewdly funny for both children and their guardians, presented as an “up the rabbit hole” type of show within a show. This “Jack” was neither boring nor too long, and never pandered to its young audience with overt silliness, shallow, clichéd characters or worn-out, old-fashioned story lines.

The always hilariously inventive direction of Stephen Michael Rondel led this tightknit company in yet another stellar theater experience by stretching the boundaries of the stage and leading the audience on a riotous adventure. Kathy Keene’s script cleverly redesigned each character (plus adding quite a few others) and switched the setting to a children’s theater in Greenwich Village on the brink of closing its doors, having been thrown out of its longtime home by an evil real estate investor.

Sound familiar? It should, because this was the final production of N.A.C. at its home for the past decade at Children’s Aid Society on Sullivan St. The script humorously and unapologetically dramatized the terrible situation in which N.A.C. has now found itself.

Directly opposed to its original charter, Children’s Aid Society has sold its Village property for the big bucks. Thus, the community oasis known as the Philip Coltoff Center is closing its doors after more than 120 years, and with that, has lowered the curtain on this groundbreaking theater company. Plans for a new location are currently in the works.

Onstage, Jack traded valuable documents for the beans, and huge beanstalks grew up through the stage of his mom’s doomed theater. Climbing upward, Jack (humbly portrayed by Zack Zamsky, previously appearing as Peter Pan at N.A.C.) encountered “spirit” characters of not only the fictional theater’s past, but of N.A.C.’s actual past, as well. It was a nice homage to the wildly inside-out classics that have graced this stage.

Capitalizing on the actual situation and past characters, the story pitted Jack against a not-so-bright Captain Hook, brilliantly played by Synge Maher, reprising her showstopping role of 2010. Poor Hook could not accept that Peter had really grown up, not understanding that Jack only “played” Peter (as did Zamsky). A brilliant “Who’s on first?” scene that I could have watched all day.

Another perfect example of the “typical” at the New Acting Company: intelligent, multilayered comedy with heart. Let’s hope there’s more to come at the company’s new home, wherever that may be.

Also of note, Andrea Alton as the kooky dim-witted wife of the giant; Jeff Marras as the cross-dressing starlet Harp; and Synge Maher also appearing as the mad street dweller Stan the Man and the apoplectic Parent.

Cast members in rehearsal for the New Acting Company’s “Jack and the Beanstalk.”

BY TIM LALUMIA  |  Like spring, the New Acting Company’s latest production at Children’s Aid Society on Sullivan St., is upon us. The similarities don’t end there. Blooming creativity, warm rays of youth and the miracle of transformation should be eagerly anticipated in the upcoming staging of “Jack and the Beanstalk.” This one is sure to be another winner.

Adapted by Kathy Keane — the brilliant scribe of last year’s N.A.C. masterpiece “Snow White” — the show is under the sensitive and wildly inventive direction of the company’s own founder and producing artistic director, Stephen Michael Rondel.

The play features a tight ensemble cast comprised of five professional adult cast members and five fledgling young actors trained right in N.A.C.’s own acting programs.

Based on some real life events, this adaptation follows Jack, an inspirational dreamer who is determined to find a better life for his family. The story merges hilarious modern situations and themes with the classic sky-high David versus Goliath fairly tale.

After 150 years at its West Village location, Children’s Aid Society is closing it’s doors. Having served this community in so many diverse and positive ways, the lively children’s center will certainly be missed. But unfortunately this also marks the New Acting Company’s final spring production at this location. (N.A.C. highly anticipates moving into a new space very soon).

The good news is that “Jack and Beanstalk” will continue to follow in the New Acting Company’s own “giant” footsteps. Over the past 12 years, each show — including “The Jungle Book,” “Alice and Wonderland” and “Peter Pan” — has always raised the bar by this company’s ever-expanding and inventive style of youth theater. Not surprisingly, this latest production extends the scope and production value, as well as the laughs and first-rate performances that have come to be expected with each outing. Expect the campy musical numbers and fanciful reworkings of old characters and the introduction of new edgy ones, to warm the semifrozen winter hearts of theatergoers young and old.

The New Acting Company has, for more than a decade, redefined children’s theater by serving up to the community a string of theatrical treasures while simultaneously providing a children’s acting training ground through its extensive after-school programming. Each semester dozens of actors — as young as 3 years old — are taught the basics of stage acting while learning the self-confidence and creative thinking crucial to life in today’s modern society.

The program’s quality and depth of training are apparent. For example, just this year, three longtime N.A.C. students were accepted at the prestigious LaGuardia Arts High School, and recently one student appeared in a Broadway production of “Macbeth” opposite Patrick Stewart.

Many children continue through middle school with advanced classes, experiencing firsthand the entire process of producing a show. They audition, study, prepare and perform in shows ranging from basic to the company’s yearly full-scale production.

Every week dozens of classes are offered to kids after school, helping students to face such important issues as responsibility, teamwork, self-esteem, risk and success. There are also evening adult acting classes.

As Rondel noted, “Rehearsing and studying their parts for each production, large and small, the students are always urged to ‘rise to the occasion’ while dealing with the risks and surprises inherent in live theater. We believe that it is this unexpected aspect of the process that provides the unique effect of lifting the students up with pride, while revealing skills and feelings which they were not aware of. Most importantly, this serves to break — or point out — their perceived limitations and helps them grow as actors and people, onstage and in their lives.”

We need much more of this kind of children’s theater, and let us hope this one finds its new home as soon as is humanly possible.

“Jack and Beanstalk” will run from April 12 through May 6, Thursdays and Fridays at 7 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 3 p.m., at the Philip Coltoff Center, 219 Sullivan St. (between W. Third and Bleecker Sts.). Tickets are $18, available online at SmartTix.com or by phone at 212-868-4444, and at the door by cash only. This show is recommended for ages 4 and up: No infants will be permitted.
