Centenary College Theatre Dept Leads Workshops at Warren County Library, Beg. Today

Members of the Centenary College Theatre Department will lead a series of free workshops at the Warren County Library on four Saturdays in May and June, which will introduce participants to the joys of performance and theatre.

The series will kick off today, May 4th with a class for aspiring singers and performers. This one-day audition and performance workshop will focus on the exploration, development and performance of songs that will bring out each performer's unique strengths. The workshop will help identify characterizations that are original and full of life, the hallmarks of a great audition. A generous selection of ClickTracks will be provided for participants. The workshop is a great primer for performers auditioning for the series of summer musicals throughout the state.

The "Selling Your Song" workshop will be led by Kyle Conner and James Russo. Conner, an actor and vocalist, has performed at Carnegie Hall, Walnut Street Theatre, Delaware Theatre Company, Shawnee Playhouse and more, and was honored to have performed with the American Choral Directors Association. James Russo is a Broadway theatre critic for Entertainment Hour, as well as a performer and theatre technician.

Upcoming workshops at the Warren County Library will include Acting for the Stage on Saturday, May 11 at 10 am, Stage Combat on Saturday May 18th at 10 am and Stage Make-up and Mask work on Saturday, June 1 at 10 am.

Classes are recommended for older teens and adults.

All classes will be held at the new Warren County Library Headquarters at 189 County Rt. 519 Belvidere. Registration is limited and should be reserved in advance by calling 908-475-6322 or visiting the Library's website at www.warrenlib.org.
