IN OUR 15TH SEASON

2016EXPANDED PROGRAM

FOR PRESCHOOL

INTENSIVE WORKSHOP

FOR GRADES 7 – 12

Roeper Summer Stock Theatre The Roeper Summer Stock Theatre has been created to develop and showcase the skills of students who are interested in theatre training. Students work with a variety of professional theatre instructors specializing in various techniques and areas of skill development. All students participate in activities to build skills in acting, singing and dancing. Each session is customized to meet the needs of students exploring theatre for the first time as well as the more experienced actor.

Summer Stock Junior, 4 years old – Grade 1. This program will unleash your child’s imagination through an exploration of acting, music and dance. Taught by experienced and nurturing teachers, each session will include singing, skits, games, crafts, activities and more. Each one-week session will culminate in a short performance of selected skits, songs and dances on the last day of class. Enrollment is limited to 15 participants per session.

Summer Stock Theatre Junior: Grades 1 – 3. With a focus on exploration in theatre, music and dance, this program provides ample structure with plenty of time for playing and exploring different aspects of perform-ing on the stage. Taught by experienced and nurturing teachers, each day will include skill-building classes, games, crafts, activities and more. Each two-week session will culminate in a showcase performance of selected scenes, dances and musical numbers in the evening of the second week. Enrollment is limited to 25 participants per session.

Summer Stock Theatre Junior: Grades 4 – 6. Students will have fun learning basics of theatre, specifically in the areas of character development, impro-visation, movement, dance and music. At the end of the two-week session, students will give a performance for family, friends and other members of the com-munity. Enrollment is limited to 28 participants per session.

The Little Mermaid

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Summer Stock Theatre, Grades 7 – 12.

This program provides a solid theatre basis for all students and challenges the more seasoned actor as well. At the end of three weeks, a musical is performed for family, friends and other members of the community. The productions are carefully chosen and may have appropriate mature content. Though we work toward the final performance, much of the instructional

time is spent on developing specific skills in each discipline. Developing talent into skill is our focus as we work daily on many aspects of the three disciplines and work hard to ensure that each student is provided the opportunity to enhance their skills in a guided and nurturing way. Enrollment is limited to 38 participants per session.

NEW! Musical Theatre One-Week Intensive Workshop, Grades 7-12

Are you tired of being disappointed with the roles you’ve been cast in? Why not take advantage of our new workshop which will allow you to delve

deeper into your craft and enhance your performance skills? This program is specifically designed for those who desire a more advanced program without the pressure of full-scale production. The focus of this program is to build specific skills in acting, singing and dancing, with an emphasis on audition preparation and stage presence to help you get the part you always wanted. At the completion of the workshop, students will be well prepared for upcoming auditions with a monologue, song, and an understanding of advanced dance techniques that will help them to confidently present themselves in future auditions and performances. Limited enrollment available.
