The Creative Arts Traveling Theatre Troupe, taught by Theatre Director Angela Merrill, is a group of young actors that take their 'act' on the road. The troupe learns basic improv skills and a short skit, where each actor becomes a new character each time it's rehearsed or performed. This pushes our young actors to understand the importance of character development.
The Troupe in action! Monday, May 23, the Troupe performs their skit,
Nursery Crimes: Four and Twenty, to an audience of curious kids and adults.
Nursery Crimes: Four and Twenty follows Jack Horner (famous for sitting in a corner with a pie), a rookie in the CTU, Counter Troll Unit, on the case of a missing troll. Missing trolls are a big deal in Nursery Land! The CTU uncovers a mysterious note, which puts Jack on the trail of Goldilocks and the Piper Brothers. With a little help from Wee Willie (Bill) Winkie, a private detective, the two must race against a 24-hour deadline to find the troll.
Jack Horner on the case!
The Piper brothers: Simon and Peter

After the performance, our young actors read nursery rhymes to the audience!
Traveling Theatre meets on Saturdays and is comprised of beginning through advanced actors between the ages of 8 and 18. Thank you to parents and students for making this performance happen!
