Who doesn't love Broadway?! This class gives the student a chance to learn Broadway based dance styles, using real Musical Theatre pieces, allowing dancers to explore parts of acting while dancing and story telling using emotional expression and role playing. This class will explore the fun of drama, music, dance, theatre games and improvisation.

Mariana's Dancing Studio offers these two new classes for the many actors who love Musical Theatre and could use some dance training to nail those roles and star at their auditions!

Openings still available , visit our website for more info! We will be waiting for you, thespians!

Neverland Theatre is bringing back "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" this December/January, a non-musical version of the children's classic story. The show will star Bobby Kerrigan once again as Willy Wonka. There are lots of fun roles for children, teens as well as adults.

"The Bridge at 211" in Salem Massachusetts is a new non-profit organization that is housed in the former First Universalist Church. There is a food pantry housed in the building as well as the Salem Scottish Dancers. Many support groups call this place home and we hope to make it better for them as well!

One of the areas that The Bridge at 211 is supporting is the performing arts. The North Shore of Massachusetts has a reputable arts scene and is seeped in history. Neverland Theatre in their 25th year has moved to this new space and is set to have their first performance this November. With art and music programs in the public school systems dwindling it is so important to support community arts, remember EARTH without ART is just EH!

This new space is beautiful and Neverland is happy to call The Bridge at 211 their new home. That being said, there are many things that the space could use to be a functioning Performing Arts center; chairs for an audience being the most important. Stage extensions will need to be re-built to fit this space and a curtain is always handy to have for a theatrical performance. Even office supplies; such as white boards and desks are needed to utilize the space for any groups that use it. All groups will benefit from any funds raised in this campaign, this is not to support Neverland Theatre, but Neverland is using this tool to help support The Bridge at 211.

Because Neverland is the first new enterprise to join The Bridge at 211, we want to show our commitment to the organization by spearheading this Go Fund Me project. Neverland's goal is to help The Bridge at 211 to become a premier Performing Arts space and add to the community with the programs that are currently offered and encourage new creative enterprises to join the organization.

Auditions for an all youth version of THE SOUND OF MUSIC!

Auditions for ages 17 and under

This production will be held in the beautiful Sanctuary of the former First Universalist Church 211 Bridge St.

We plan to double cast some adult character roles. We will also double or Triple Cast the Children depending on the audition turn-out. Besides the leading roles, ensemble can be nuns and Austrian Children who appear throughout the show. Also roles for Soldiers and Festival participants. We also perform a 5 minute Sound of Music medley featuring the ensemble that takes place before Act 2 featuring solos/duets/trios.

We will be auditioning over the next two months. We will cast roles after each audition when we feel someone is appropriate for a role. Then remaining roles will be open for the next audition which we will have every few weeks.

NEXT AUDITIONS:

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28 at 5pm

CHAIRS:
Neverland is collecting donations of chairs for our new performance spot at 211 Bridge Street, Salem. The former First Universalist Church is now going to be Neverland's new performance space for much of the year. The non-profit '211 Bridge St" which will be the home of many groups on the North Shore. Eventually they will purchase new chairs for the theater space but for our fall shows, we are going to collect donations of all sorts of chairs such as folding chairs, non-folding chairs that can be set up in rows for our productions. The chairs can have arms or not and can be cushioned or not. They can be new or used. Please email Andy at neverlandtheatre@comcast.net if you have donations of chairs for '211 Bridge St."

______________________________________________

North Shore Residents age 65 and over can be in a show FREE OF ANY SHOW FEES. (If you don't want to be on stage you can be in our show choir which helps to support the cast on stage and you don't have to memorize the music.) We can also arrange for transportation. So if you love music and want to interact with people of all ages, you now don't have an excuse!

Studies show that people in Denmark are among the happiest in the world. One thing that people have in common is that almost everyone is part of some organization as a hobby.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We would like to bring our rehearsals to people who often cannot come to us. We would like to rehearse once a month at an area nursing home or assisted living facility (with an approx 8 mile radius from Beverly). We would need one larger room and a smaller room and residents can come and watch us rehearse and can even sing along with us. The cast and parents will interact with the residents and strike up a rapport. And during our rehearsal break I bet some cast members would love to sing for the residents. If any of those residents or staff wanted to come and see our actual performance, we would be happy to donate tickets. Andy Diskes was in Up with People for a year(along with Neverlander Bethany Vahn) and they often sang and interacted with people in nursing homes and it was very rewarding. If you have any thoughts, please let us know. You can reach Andy Diskes at neverlandtheatre@comcast.net . We hold rehearsals on weekends and on weeknights.
