Beginning Feb. 15th at 10:00am, registration will open for our Spring 2020 Youth Theatre Workshop Program for students in the Mid-Ohio Valley in 4th through 9th grades. This program will last for 10 weeks and will culminate in a 3-show production May 14, 15 and 16, 2020. The Workshop will begin on Saturday, March 7th, 2020 and will be held every Saturday morning from 9am to 12pm and will focus on music, dance, and acting. However, the material will be all original and will allow the kids that are participating to have equally sized roles in the production. Below is a synopsis of the new Workshop Production.
Star Warped: A New Beginning
It is a time of peace on planet Earth after the heroic efforts of the Space Allegiance defeated the evil Azomians, from the planet Azomia, in a surprise attack on Space Allegiance Headquarters. Little do the Space Allegiance Cadets know that the surprise attack was a diversion so that the Olrorthians, from the planet Olrorth and allies of the Azomians, could land in Washington DC, kidnap the President and his cabinet, and destroy the Space Allegiance so that the Azomians and Olrorthians can take over the Galaxy together. So now, the Space Allegiance must team up with their allies, the Gabosites from the planet Gabos, to rescue the President and restore order to the Galaxy!
The core focus of the workshop is more on the disciplines of theatre and less on the large budget items like sets and costumes, like our Main Stage Guild Builders shows. This Workshop will be limited to a maximum of 30 students. The cost for the Workshop is $100 per student, with a $25 discount for siblings. Scholarships are available for up to 5 students who wish to participate and are based on the student’s need. For scholarship information, please email us using the form above.
The regular Guild Builders production will not change. It will continue to be offered for free to the community and will remain audition based. Our Guild Builders Main Stage production for 2021 will the The Wizard of Oz Young Performers Edition. Please stay tuned for more details.
