Junior Theater

Grades 1 - 8

Winter session 2010 will mark the 6th year of our youth theater program for students in grades 1st - 8th. Our class will begin early January and will run through late March. This year's Junior Theater will present "An Evening with Mary": Scenes from "MARY POPPINS". This class will meet and rehearse on Saturdays from 9:00am - 12:00pm, and Tuesday evenings from 6:00-8:00pm, with some additional evening rehearsals as we get closer to performance dates. We will mount a full scale production and in the process of learning and rehearsing the show will also focus on some important drama concepts including: audition tips, effective use of voice, face and body in character impressions, hands-on strategies and exercises for character development and developing relationships with other characters onstage, scene interpretation/creating emotional levels, and effective pacing. We will also use this opportunity to familiarize students with basic stage areas and commonly used theater terminology and concepts.

In order to qualify for participation in this winter program, students must enroll in at least one of the courses in the Fall 2009 Performing Arts Class Series, OR have been registered in one of our dance or drama programs in the past. Auditions for specific roles will take place once the class begins.

Performances will be held at Liberty School Auditorium and are scheduled for March 26 & 27 at 7:30 p.m. and on March 28 at 3:00 p.m.
