CLASS: “PLAY!” At Western Reserve Playhouse
by Hannah Hilty 20 Jan '20

20 Jan '20

WESTERN RESERVE PLAYHOUSE ANNOUNCES THE NEXT COURSE IN THEIR NEW EDUCATION DEPARTMENT - AND IT’S COMING UP QUICKLY *PLAY!* (The Joy of Creating Play in Performance) Instructor: Victoria Kirgesner Dates/Time: January 29th - March 18th / Wednesdays 4:30pm - 6:00pm (8 weeks) Designed for students 8-13 years of age Cost: $95.00/student DEADLINE for registration is 24 hours before the first class (January 28th). Putting on a play (performing in, or participating in any way) is one of the most fulfilling experiences to the young student, as it engages the mind, especially the young mind, in all of the important facets of everyday life through a creative conduit. In this class, students will embrace and conquer all of the aspects of putting on a play: from basic acting/performance skills (including rhetoric, elocution, and memorization), to stage construction, crafting props, designing lights and costumes, marketing, and everything in between. Using theatre games designed by Viola Spolin and Paul Sills’ famed improvisation troupe Second City, the students will put on a very special performance: a play created and written by all of the students. Based on one or a series of stories that the group holds dear to their hearts, the ensemble will devise a brand new performance never before-seen, and then go on to produce it to the fullest. Students will not only be introduced to how to put on a play in a technical sense but how to work together, problem solve in a group, and sharpen respectful public presentation skills. The course will conclude in a public performance on the last day of class.

CLASS: “Enhancing Musical Theatre Performance” at Western Reserve Playhouse
by Hannah Hilty 20 Jan '20

20 Jan '20

WESTERN RESERVE PLAYHOUSE ANNOUNCES THE NEXT COURSE IN THEIR NEW EDUCATION DEPARTMENT - AND IT’S COMING UP QUICKLY *Enhancing Musical Theatre Performance* Instructor: Jacob Bremkamp Dates/Time: January 25th - February 15th / Saturdays - 2:00pm – 3:30pm (4 weeks) Ages: 8th - 12th Grade Cost: $55.00 DEADLINE for registration is 24 hours before the first class (January 24th). This course is designed to help the musical theater performer advance their stagecraft, focusing on three core elements: Specificity, Authenticity, and Vocal Performance. Through one-on-one training, this class will be an intimate group of people who wish to bring in specific songs that they are interested in exploring dramatically (either audition pieces or musical numbers that will challenge them). Once the class is assembled, all participants will bring in sheet music of one full song that they wish to work on throughout the course, along with the choice of a 16 bar cut of audition material they would like to have for their audition books. We will work both one-on-one and as a group, analyzing, interpreting, and ultimately cleaning/polishing final performances of these musical numbers. The goal is to help identify what we connect with on a personal level in the songs we bring to the table, and how we can find new ways of giving them authentic life on stage, utilizing these core elements. This class is for those who are interested in taking their musical theater performance to the next level, and to ultimately help give performers a “boost” in the effectiveness of their unique interpretations of modern and classical musical theater repertoire.
