More Summer Opportunities...

I recently posted about Wagner College's Summer Theater Institute Program to be held over the upcoming summer. The college is also home to another theater program known as the Actor Children's Theatre (ACT.) 

It is a new children's theatre program that encompasses a "triple threat" which teaches acting, musical performance, and movement. Actors will focus on building confidence, performing improvisations, character studies, and theater games. Children enrolled in this program will be able to audition for our spring performance of The Wizard of Oz. Directed by Solange Bila, who has staged more than 30 shows on Staten Island, a great show is sure to be the result. Children not cast in the show will continue with our spring theatre program. Give your child the opportunity to explore his/her inner self and express ideas through the art of drama. 

This spring program ran from January 23, 2010 - June 19, 2010. It is a twenty week program. It is too late to join the spring season this year, but the summer program is still open to apply. Wagner College ACT Children's Theatre Open House for children and parents to discuss summer stock and auditions for Beauty and the Beast, Jr. is being held on May 15th from 1:15 PM - 2:15 PM at the Campus Hall Musical Performance Center. The audition and registration date is Saturday, May 22, 2010 at  2:00 PM, in the Main Hall Theatre.

This is a great opportunity for children who have a passion for theater to spend their summer doing something that they love.
