The child will become aware of the differences between moving through water and on dry land, while the parent will become aware of how to teach his or her child to be safer in and around the water. Classes are designed to allow the child to have fun in the water while the parent guides him or her to learn aquatic skills. The child will be exposed to games that use basic movements in the water such as kicking, arm strokes, and breath control. Activities are based on the developmental abilities of the child. The Parent-Child program has four levels, all determined by age. Classes meet once per week. Parent or guardian must be able to participate with child in the water.

YOUR TIME TO SHINE YOUTH THEATER ARTS KIDS COMPANY ACTING AND MUSICAL THEATER PROGRAM

Kids Company provides young people of all backgrounds and experience levels the opportunity to work with acting, dance, and musical theater professionals to develop skills in singing, acting, and choreography. Kids Company is made up of children and teens ages 6 through 14 who learn and grow together as an ensemble. Production, Showcase, and Workshop Performances are performed in the Marjorie S. Deane Little Theater. Our Production and Showcase programs provide in-depth musical theater experiences that culminate in exciting fully developed performances. Students interested in either program must audition to participate on December 7 and 11, 2014. In Production, we present a scripted play or musical. Each program session is modeled off of a professional rehearsal process and participants are required to make a commitment of attendance, punctuality, participation, and effort. Production is open to ages 8-14. Showcase programs culminate in a musical review/cabaret style presentation. With an ensemble focus, the Showcase is an excellent place for newer performers to develop skills, confidence, and technique in a supportive, dynamic, and fun environment. Showcase is open to ages 6-12. In Workshop programs, students of all levels work on technique and skill building to develop tools as actors and performers through creative exercises, improvisation, scene study, character work, and more. Workshop programs culminate in a Culminating Performance which might include short scenes, theater games, improvisation, character work, and more that demonstrates their learning process and new skills. There is no audition requirement for Workshop programs. Students may enroll in Workshop in addition to either the Showcase OR the Production program.

About Shrek The Musical, Jr.: It’s a “big bright beautiful world” for everyone’s favorite ogre in Shrek The Musical Jr., based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film. Adapted for young performers and featuring a host of over-the-top roles for an expandable cast, there’s a part for everyone in this dazzling adventure story. In a faraway kingdom, the green ogre Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits, runaways who’ve been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wise-cracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he’s handed a task - if he rescues feisty Princess Fiona from the Dragon-guarded tower, his swamp will be returned to him. But, a fairy tale wouldn’t be complete without unexpected twists and turns along the way. Part romance and part twisted fairy tale, Shrek JR. is an irreverently fun show for the whole family. With abundant opportunities for imaginative sets and costumes and familiar characters that prove that beauty is in the eye of the ogre, Shrek JR. is a great choice for young performers.
