Shenanarts Offers New Theatrical Training Program, Runs 9/12-1/31

Registration has begun for SHENANARTS' brand new theatre training program for everyone from Elementary students to Adults!

THE PRESBURY THEATRICAL TRAINING PROGRAM is a new "theatre school" that offers a unique way for our community to learn about theatre! Through the process of putting together a FULL-SCALE PRODUCTION, students will learn all about the ins-and-outs of theatre, from memorizing lines to tap-dancing!

Due to copyright restrictions, we can't release the titles of the productions just yet. But we can give you some hints!

HINT #1
What do you get when you take a young lady under a spell, a handsome prince, a team of magic fairies, an evil sorceress and a fire-breathing dragon from one of the most famous Disney features of all time and put them on stage?.

Beginning Theatre's production for the Fall/Winter Semester of the Presbury Theatrical Training Program, that's what!

HINT #2
Integrating storytelling, tribal dancing, vibrant colors, and a pulsing Caribbean score by the Tony Award-winning team that brought you "Ragtime" and "Suessical," Intro to Theatre's production for the Fall/Winter Semester of the Presbury Theatrical Training Program, is sure to be a unique and original experience for both audience and performer!

HINT #3
Get ready for a brand new re-envisioning of one of the biggest Off-Broadway and Broadway hits of all time! Based on one VERY famous book, this show draws from various theatrical traditions, such as clowning, pantomime, charades, acrobatics and vaudeville and includes a internationally famous score by the composer of "Wicked." Theatre I's production for the Fall/Winter Semester of the Presbury Theatrical Training Program is sure to be a groundbreaking and unique performance with a message of kindness, tolerance and love.

And for the Adults.

A to-be-titled showcase of the theatrical talents in our Adult class. Wait! We CAN give you the theme of our dance recital.

"100 Years of Dance on Broadway"

A celebration of dance and choreography in Broadway musicals spanning from the "old classics" to shows currently running in New York!

Figure them out? The sooner you register, the sooner we can release the titles. After our Open House this weekend, spaces are limited. You can request a registration form by emailing PTTP.ShenanArts@gmail.com.

Registration forms will also soon be available online at www.shenanarts.org
