Act II Final Performance

Our Act II class is for the intermediate actor. The focus of this class is understanding characterization and furthering stage presence. For their final production, Act II put on a comedic play about nutty news casters and reporters. Breaking news followed several fairy tales.

A young boy accidentally kissed Sleeping Beauty, rousing her from eternal sleep. However; she was waiting for Prince Charming, not a young boy. Imagine her shock! Our reporter covers the news and tries to interview the very, very sleepy princess.

Most morning news shows incorporate a short cooking demonstration. At this "news station," the cooking host interviews the three little pigs about their truffle sauce infusion.

Next up, Sports! One of our news hosts, drowning in her own vanity, tries to interview the Little Mermaid about her guppy synchronized swimming team.

Did you know Rumpelstiltskin became a champion weight lifter after spinning all that straw into gold? Talk about upper body strength! He shares his story.

These four ladies put on a great show!

Classics for Kids Final Performance

In our theatre classes, students learn acting while working on a short play. This semester, students in Classics for Kids performed The Poky Little Puppy.

 Students in character and costume. They're ready!

Four puppies!

Our poky puppy.

The End! Great job students!

Traveling Theatre Troupe Performance

On Wednesday, May 12 our Traveling Theatre Troupe of young actors performed The Gingerbread Girl at Reading Public Library.

The Gingerbread Girl is an amusing tale combining the stories of Frankenstein and the Gingerbread Man. Basically, a mad scientist baker uses radioactive gumdrops as buttons on his gingerbread girl cookie.

The radioactive gumdrops awake the cookie!

A hungry wolf, suffering from indigestion after previously eating the gingerbread MAN, finds the young gingerbread girl in the forest.

Will he eat our gingerbread girl?

You'll have to watch to find out!

After the performance, our troupe read books, pulled by the Children's Librarian, to young audience members.

Families checked out books and explored the library after our performance!
