6:30- A Year With Frog and Toad (Kids Version)
8:00- A Mirror Up to Madness: Scenes from Award-winning Dramas.
These 2 performances are a culmination of a two-week Advanced Performance Class; for youth under the direction of Ilyse Robbins and John O'Neil, and for teen-agers under the tutelage of director Fran Weinberg. Realizing Wheelock Family Theatre students' talent and performing capabilities, this audition-based program is intended to enhance the developing artists' skills while providing an opportunity for a professional showcase.
6:30 - Based on the original books by Arnold Lobel, A Year With Frog and Toad is a delightful romp of story and song, rich in character and rife with situational hilarity. Trimmed to an hour's length these young performing artists will present a polished mini-musical that is appropriate for all ages.
8:00 - Excerpted from four major dramatic works: Medea by Euripides,The Elephant Man by Bernard Pomerance, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, and Lettice and Lovage by Peter Shaffer, "A Mirror Up to Madness" is an evening of selected scenes. The work challenges each student actor to approach unfamiliar characters, situations, and genres; resulting in a dramatic and exciting glimpse into each play. Sure to engage an older audience, this performance contains some adult subject matter and may not be appropriate for all ages.
