New Players Theater Guild is proud to announce our Youth Summer Program!
This year, we welcome James Hunt to direct our musical, JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH JR by Ronald Dahl!
As usual, the program will be 3 sessions per week, on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings, from 6:30pm-8:00pm. The length of the total program is extended to allow for some family vacation time and still adequate rehearsal. In addition, we will be holding performances on two weekends in August, as opposed to the Thursday through Sunday schedule of previous years. This will make for a more extended experience for the kids and provide more opportunities for family and friends to attend.
In addition to rehearsal for the show itself, there will be more time to improve the kids as performers, but also expose the kids to other areas of theater crafts as well, as time permits.
We would strongly suggest that your child or children be present, at all rehearsals, for "production week," August 4th-8th. Please try to schedule family vacations or other obligations around those dates.
The workshop will be STRICTLY limited to 25 children, between the ages of 10 and 17. Although all the kids enrolled in the program WILL be in the show, we will be holding "placement auditions," over 3 evenings coming up very soon, on May 13, 14 and 15 at 7:00 PM sharp. Please send in your tuition as soon as possible. The instructions for signing up your kid(s) are below.
Performances of JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH JR will take place August 9th, 10th, 16th, and 17th at 7:30pm and the 11th and 18th at 2:00 pm.
