REHEARSALS

Saturdays, September 21—November 30, 2013 — 9:30AM to 3:00PM

This awesome Saturday theater experience offers 3rd thru 8th graders the

opportunity to work, rehearse and create together as a performance

ensemble. Performers will meet each Saturday, and four Wednesday

evenings for some, to explore the many facets of theater—acting, music,

dance and theater production—as they prepare for a musical performance

on the Main Stage at the Villagers. Students will study proper stage

etiquette, technique and develop a basic understanding of theater as a

creative collaboration both on stage and behind the scenes.

Past productions include: OZ!, A Christmas Carol, Grease: School Edition,

ABC’s of Broadway: A Musical Revue, Cinderella, Bye Bye Birdie Jr.,

Once On This Island Jr., Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,

Beauty and the Beast, Guys and Dolls, Seussical Jr, All Shook Up, Annie,

Footloose, Disney’s The Little Mermaid and Thoroughly Modern Millie!

Over the course of the 11-week program, students will gain an understanding

of this creative art form and develop a strong sense of appreciation for all

aspects of musical theater while rehearsing for the production. In addition,

students will develop a basic theater repertoire by exploring other musicals

and will practice audition techniques to prepare them for future

opportunities. Our program includes:
