Light Opera Works Hosts 2011 SUMMER WORKSHOP

Light Opera Works is currently taking enrollments for its 2011 Musical Theater Summer Workshop. Young people ages 8 to 15 will learn singing, dancing and acting in preparation for a public performance on Saturday, where family and friends are invited to watch workshop participants perform a mini-musical.

Five separate one-week workshops will be offered in 2011, based on a hit musical. Each workshop is Monday through Friday from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm, with a final dress rehearsal on Saturday at 1 pm and a public performance at 4 pm.

This year's workshops are:

ANNIE (age 8-13) June 20-25, 2011

Disney's HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL (age 8-13)
June 27- July 2, 2011

The workshop manager is Anya Plotkin. Anya was a member of the team that created the Summer Workshop in 2001. She works to create an environment where children have the unique opportunity to develop confidence in a nurturing, non-threatening and fun atmosphere. There are no auditions for roles and every child enrolled in the workshop gets a part.

Workshop classes are held at Lake Street Church, 607 Lake Street in Evanston. Saturday performances are at McGaw YMCA Children's Center Auditorium, 1420 Maple Avenue in Evanston. The fee is $350 per student per workshop. Register online at www.LightOperaWorks.com or call (847) 869-6300.
