This summer, the Acting Workshop involves producing an original play called Mother Goose, Vamoose! This is a sequel to Little Red Riding Hood and the Not-so Big Bad Wolf, the show from two years ago. When the characters in Fairy Tale Land start complaining and arguing, Mother Goose calls it quits. She hires “Donald Chump” to run the land, and without Mother Goose, the characters can’t remember their stories. Chaos and comedy ensue until Donald tells all the Fairy Tale Characters- “You’re Fired!” Characters include Fairy Tale favorites like Little Jack Horner, Little Bo Peep, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, and Jack and Jill plus many others. Each actor will have speaking lines and will get a chance to shine as an individual. Participants in the workshop will audition, and will be guaranteed a role. Students will learn about theatre by participating in a real community theatre play from start to finish. Students will learn about many aspects of theatre, including acting techniques, character development, taking direction, comic timing and basic theatre terminology. They will be directed by a professional with over 35 years of experience, in a quality production. This is the perfect opportunity for young actors to gain valuable stage experience! The standard behavior contract will apply.
