Virtual kids summer theater camp with The MAD* Factory!
by Nina Fisher 21 May '20

21 May '20

Accepting campers ages 6 through 14. Tuition $200 with scholarship assistance available. To register: www.madfactory.org. Questions: themadfactorytheatreco(a)gmail.com On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of each week, campers will sign on to Zoom for group check ins and then we will assign them to their breakout rooms/smaller groups by age range. In those "rooms" they will work with their counselors on warm ups, games, and preparing short monologues (youngest ages) and play scripts for a video performance (performance details TBA). Campers, depending on age, will be on Zoom for anywhere between 1.5-2.5 hours per day, between 10 and 12:30. Our counselors will be switching up activities, getting kids moving, and making every effort to keep kids from just staring at the screen the whole time. This will be FUN! More details will be shared with registrants as we get a feel for ages of and number of participants. On Tuesday and Thursday of each week, campers will NOT sign on to Zoom but we will send out links to videos prepared by our counselors, spanning different topics from acting to games and songs to friendship bracelets, plus an art project. They can watch these videos whenever is convenient. Materials: Each camper will pick up a camp kit with supplies such as plaster, paint, duct tape, lanyard, popsicle sticks, character worksheets, scripts, and other things needed to bring MAD* camp home. Camp may not be in person, but we believe there are still friendships and memories to be made. The show must go on!

It is a relaxed atmosphere and we ask that students stay for the whole time. Please be prepared to perform a monologue (you can find these monologues on our website) and we will do some reading from the script. Below are character descriptions as well.* Fill Out an Online Form and find our more at: http://alcc.cc/audition Auditions at Abundant Life Community Church 10143 Royalton Road, Suite N and O North Royalton, OH 44133 440-877-1202 Alcc.cc Direct inquiries to 82(a)alcc.cc *Character Descriptions Pride and Prejudice* *Mr. Bennet:* He is a man of culture and taste, whose sense of humor has helped to carry him through some twenty-five years of marriage with this frivolous and irresponsible wife. He is handsome, with graying hair and a courteous and pleasing manner. His manner of speaking varies from dry humor to elaborate sarcasm, yet he is devoted to the real interest of his family. *Mrs. Bennet:* She is frivolous, irresponsible, and an inveterate matchmaker. An eligible young man has but to glance at one of her five daughters and she is ready to announce their engagement. When thwarted in any way she takes refuge in imaginary ailments and complains piteously of her “nerves”. She is in her forties, with her hair elaborately done; she is always fashionably dressed. She is still pretty in a plump and florid way. It is easy to see why, twenty five years ago, Mr. Bennet found her irresistible. *Jane:* She is twenty-two, the oldest of the five daughters. Jane has always turned so beautiful and sweet a face on the world that much of it has been reflected back on her. Jane honestly believe that people are better than they are, and so is always ready to find a good excuse for any questionable act. Although docile and much under her mother’s thumb, Jane is by no means lacking in spirit. *Elizabeth:* She is a beauty who also happens to have brains. A modern girl. She is more like her father than any of her sisters, and although she does not know it, she is his favorite. She is distressed at her mother’s airs and obvious matchmaking but loyally conceals it and attempts to cover her mother’s blunders. She has a quick temper, a proud spirit and is unaffected and sincere. Mr. Darcy might have resisted her beauty because of her mother’s lack of taste. He cannot resist her beauty, plus the fire and spirit that are a part of Elizabeth’s charm. *Mary*: She is 18, the plain one in the family, and a bookworm. Later, Mary will probably outgrow her extreme priggishness. Right now she is prepared to lecture on practically any subject. Mary is smug and pedantic, in a direct contrast to all her sisters. She is, however, likeable. You are amused rather than annoyed by her. *Catherine (Kitty):* She is 17 and much under the domination of her irrepressible younger sister. Catherine is slight and rather delicate in appearance. She has an engaging giggle when fun is in prospect, but, like her mother, she is inclined to whine when things do not please her. *Lydia:* She is 15 and utterly frivolous and irresponsible. She thinks of nothing but parties, officers and clothes. She is not as beautiful as Jane or Elizabeth, but she is very pretty and pert, and could never, imaginably, lack a partner at a dance. *Lady Lucas:* She is in her forties, and a good friend of Mrs. Bennet, though they are rivals in matchmaking, for Lady Lucas has a daughter to marry off. Lady Lucas has a pleasant and matter of fact manner. In Act One she has the pleased, complacent air of one who has sighted eligible masculine quarry first. *Charlotte:* She is 27, and Elizabeth’s friend. Her manner is quiet and restrained and she is sweet and reasonable, though lacking somewhat in feminine charm. She does not dream of romance and is quite willing to be guided by her mother’s advice. *Mr. Bingley:* He is the catch of the county, handsome, moderately rich, and with charming manners that captivate everyone who meets him. He has eyes only for Jane from the moment he sees her. He is about 23. *Miss Bingley:* She is in her twenties, and very fashionably dressed. Her surface good manners scarcely conceal her contempt for provincial society. She is proud and conceited, and her chief concern is that her brother shall make a suitable match. *Mr. Darcy:* He is a little older than Mr. Bingley and a great deal richer. He is tall, handsome, and aristocratic in appearance, but his manner is cold and stiff. He is secretly just as much attracted by Elizabeth as Mr. Bingley is by Jane, but he is too intelligent not to recognize her mother’s lack of taste, and so resists her as long as he can. *Mr. Collins:* He is a tall, clergyman, pompous and pedantic, with absurdly formal manners. Yet, he is extremely servile whenever to be so is to his advantage. He pays ridiculous court to Elizabeth, but when he fears she may not help his “career” he does not lose a moment in consoling himself elsewhere. *Mr. Wickham:* He is a handsome young officer, and cuts a dashing figure in his smart uniform. He has undeniable charm of manner, but is untrustworthy and insincere. *Hill:* This part is extremely flexible. It may be played as a young servant girl in her teens or as a quiet, repressed, elderly servant. Or the part may be played as a manservant. Hill is quiet, unobtrusive and efficient. *Lady Catherine:* She is the dowager type, expensively dressed formidable, and superior in manner. When she walks she sweeps; she when sits, it is as if she took her place on a throne. Quite obviously, she expects everyone to scurry at her least command. She hardly knows how to meet it when Elizabeth dares to defy her but she finally sweeps regally from the room without bidding her goodbye.

Kids Summer Film Camp - Now Enrolling!
by Lakewood Young Filmmakers Academy 21 May '20

21 May '20

The Lakewood Young Filmmakers Academy Summer Camp is an annual two week filmmaking boot camp in which the students write, shoot and edit a real film from start to finish with the help of award winning industry professionals and mentors. The camp culminates in a Red Carpet Premiere of their film at The Capitol Theatre where their movie will be seen by a packed house of filmmakers, media, fans, friends and family. Current and past instructors have worked on such films and TV series as *The Fast and The Furious, The Avengers, White Boy Rick, Boardwalk Empire, King of Queens, Frasier, Modern Family, The Enormity of Life *and more... This year due to COVID-19 restraints we are altering the structure of the camp to help facilitate proper social distancing measures. In order to maintain safety measures designed to keep students and staff safe we will be limiting the number of campers in attendance each day as well as the number of students in each group. This year we will not be able to be in session for the 10 straight week days, but rather over the course of 3 consecutive weekends (Saturday and Sunday). Rather than have all students in camp at once for 2 straight weeks, we have opted for smaller groups in camp less days and for longer duration. Please visit the website for more information and to enroll in this one of a kind experience. https://www.lakewoodyfa.com/summer-camp Stay Safe! Team LYFA
