10:00AM – 11:00AM
Saturday, October 1 – November 12
Acting requires many layers of understanding who a character is and why they do what they do. Character development is an actor’s connection to the world of the play and to the other actors in a scene, a monologue, or a song. In this class, actors will learn the tools necessary to bring a character to life- lots of questions, creativity, objectives, subtext, improv games, given circumstances, and tactics will be just some of the methods we will explore to advance our skills and understanding of how to make a character your own.

The jack-of-all trades, Bert, introduces us to England in 1910 and the troubled Banks family. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins arrives on their doorstep. Using a combination of magic and common sense, she must teach the family members how to value each other again. Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren’t the only ones upon whom she has a profound effect. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that “Anything can happen if you let it.”

Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in Seussical JR., a fantastical musical extravaganza from Tony-winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat narrates the story of Horton the Elephant, who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. Horton must protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, and he must also guard an abandoned egg that’s been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!

Students will sing, dance, act and have fun in a safe, age appropriate environment.

Character Breakdown
Varthur McArthur (Male)
Once a Gavroche on Broadway (and not seen on Broadway since), this director is now in Middle America bringing culture to Philistines. Pompous, arrogant, loves being a big fish in a little town.

Justine Case (Female)
Traffic Enforcement Officer, promoted to detective when everyone else on the force is unavailable. Everyone has disdain for him/her because he/she has ticketed them all. He/She is a loyal patron and secret fan of the theatre. They don’t know he/she discounts their tickets

Clarke Staples (Male or Female)
Has been working as a stage manager, as well as doing box office and concessions and clerical work for Varthur for ten years. Beleaguered and loyal.

Shea Crescendo (Female)
Works at theater full-time – costumes, sets, a visionary with too few resources. Shea goes all the way with everything they do – design or in their role in the murder mystery dinner

Vivika Orsonwelles (Female)
Pharmacist by day, star by night. When she finds out that Lily, an ambitious upstart, is playing the lead in the murder mystery dinner party, she is fuming.

George Murderer (Male)
He’s a trust-fund kid. And fancies himself a musical theater writer. In fact, he believes he has written the next Hamilton. The AD has been stringing him along, taking his family’s money, making him think that they would be doing his musical next. When the cast list went out and it wasn’t for his musical, he was livid.

Lily Wright (Female)
Real Estate Broker by day and aspiring leading lady by night. She’s tired of playing second fiddle to Vivika. She wants her own spotlight and tonight she’s finally gotten it.

Cameron Mitchelljohn (Male or Female)
Cameron took off work tonight – as a cater/waiter – because Varthur promised him a speaking part in the Murder Mystery. Only, lo and behold, he’s playing the Steward – so she’s still taking coats and serving canapes.

Joan McArthur (Female)
An estate lawyer (and Varthur’s wife) who has banked this entire theater venture and she’s fed up. She’s been trying to sell the building and everything they own goes to her in Varthur’s will.

Jeremy Jordan (Male)
Fantasy version of himself

Detective Case (Female)
A latter day version of Justine; A grand dame of police work.

Theatreworks Live Hybrid Summer Workshop 2020

We are pleased to announce our ENCORE Summer Event!

We had so much fun with our Virtual Summer Camp, we are doing it again, but this time with an in-person twist!  We are so excited to announce: SHREK The Musical, Jr.  Due to the ongoing pandemic and quarantine restrictions, we want all of our students to be as safe as possible.  We are currently permitted to have an outdoor in-person audience free show.  Students will receive virtual instruction in dance, music and acting as they prepare for a LIVE filmed outdoor performance without an audience. The performance will be streamed online for viewing in the comfort and safety of your own home!

Registration is closed.  We will have our fall plans up soon.  Hope to “see” you at the show!

Why would I want to do a Virtual Camp?

  • We can still have fun together even if we can’t be in the same room.  Social interaction is a necessity.
  • We don’t know what the future will be like, but we do know that video conference skills will be necessary.
  • Performing in front of a camera is a skill we don’t usually explore in live theatre.  Time to develop that skill!
  • We stay true to our mission in creating confidence, creativity and character.
