SLEEPING BEAUTY

Audiences Are Loving It!

Book & Lyrics by R. Eugene Jackson

Music by Patsy Pollard

Directed by Allen Schmeltz

Music Direction by Hannah Hurst



April 20th – May 19th

Saturdays & Sundays at 1:00 PM


Rated: G


The emphasis is on comedy in this musical adaptation of the classic fairy tale! Young audiences will find a delightful group of characters as enchanting as the magic in the story itself. There’s Chester the Jester, Typsy the Gypsy and the Royal Magician, who is so inept he transforms himself into a frog! And there’s the evil Thornberry, who puts the curse on Princess Elaine (the ’sleeping beauty’), and the brave Prince Dauntless, who battles the fire-breathing dragon to break the magic spell. Rich with music underscoring, themes and five tuneful songs, The Sleeping Beauty is a delight for audiences of all ages!

ANYTHING GOES

A Delightful Classic Musical!

Music & Lyrics by Cole Porter

Original Book by P.G. Wodehouse, Guy Bolton, Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse

New Book by Timothy Crouse & John Weidman

April 12th – May 12th - Fridays & Saturdays at 7:30 PM / Sundays at 4:30 PM


Rated: PG


The S.S. American is sailing between New York and England with a comically colorful assemblage of passengers: Reno Sweeney, a popular nightclub singer and former evangelist, her pal Billy Crocker, a lovelorn Wall Street broker who has come aboard to try to win the favor of his beloved Hope Harcourt (who is engaged to another passenger, Sir Evelyn Oakleigh), and a second-rate con man named Moonface Martin, aka “Public Enemy #13.” Song, dance, and farcical antics ensue as Reno and Moonface try to help Billy win the love of his life.

In this class, each student will learn what it truly means to be an actor. Everything learned can be applied to being in a musical, performing a solo, or even preparing for a monologue. Participants will play theatre games, block and perform numbers from various musicals, prepare solos, work on cold readings, and hone their audition technique. Participants will learn how to make their performance come to life. If you love to sing, act, and perform then this is the class for you!
