One-Acts
Grades 1-8 (grade of child in Fall 2010) - register online
Play One: Learn and practice stage presence, public speaking, diction, and ensemble work as you and your class present the work of a kid friendly poet. In past years, we have done Silverstein, Nesbitt, and Gaiman…fast paced, fun and challenging; we have something for every age/comfort level!
Play Two: Act in or run a play with a moral, or lesson, as you study ethics in theatre, the nature of tragedy and why theatre can be used for good (or not!)…in past years, we have performed adaptations of "The Hundred Dresses", and "Chrysanthemum".
Play Three: Act in or run a play that is just plain silly as you learn about comedy, improvisation, and the joy of doing plays as opposed to works! Past classes have performed adaptations of "Once Upon A Cool Motorcycle Dude" and "The Stinky Cheese Man".
ALL students are cast in both on-stage and back-stage roles as they prepare for their final collaboration on Friday afternoon. Excellent for new or experienced theatre students, this fast-paced class emphasizes real theater skills and tools. Please bring a book bag and a NUT FREE lunch. The show is on Friday, August 6, at 2:00pm. FULL WEEK PARTICIPATION REQUIRED! Taught by Amy Ewaldt.

Learn scenes and songs from past and present musicals as we study the choreography, script, and music of each one…and collaborate with your peers to create a fun-filled show for your friends and family!
