Senior Production Company: 7th-12th Grade
Classes begin January 23, 2012
Performances June 15-17, 2012
HAIRSPRAY delighted audiences by sweeping them away to 1960's Baltimore, where the 50's are out -- and change is in the air! Loveable plus-size heroine, Tracy Turnblad, has a passion for dancing, and wins a spot on the local TV dance program, "The Corny Collins Show." Overnight she finds herself transformed from outsider to teen celebrity. Can a larger-than-life adolescent manage to vanquish the program's reigning princess, integrate the television show, and find true love (singing and dancing all the while, of course!) without mussing her hair?
 | Some Saturday rehearsals are required. In addition to the $87.00 monthly tuition, there is also a $90.00 Production Fee per semester. This fee helps cover the cost of costumes, theatre rental, set, props, etc. Click here for more details. |

Improvisational Acting
Students will learn the principals, techniques and theories involved in the spontaneity of improvisational acting. By focusing on specifics, such as relationship, environment and action, students will be better equipped to handle cold readings as well as the unpredictable nature of live theatre. In addition, students will learn to infuse a scene with their character’s personality, both physically and emotionally.
