The Newington Children's Theatre Company, Connecticut's longest running children's theatre, has opened enrollment for their class, In Performance: The Wizard of Oz. In Performance gives kids, ages 5-8, the opportunity to learn and strengthen their musical theatre skills, while becoming more comfortable with being on stage. Throughout the class, kids learn blocking, music and choreography in preparation to become part of the upcoming School-year Musical. While they don’t have any solo lines, they will be featured throughout the production. Every cast member receives a FREE show t-shirt. No experience necessary, but registration required. Fee: $150
There are three sessions to choose from. Thursdays, October 18-November 15, 4:30-5:30pm; Saturdays, October 27-November 17, 8:30-9:30am OR 10-11am. In addition to the four one-hour classes, kids are asked to attend two rehearsals with the older cast 6-7pm (dates TBD). Performances are November 30-December 9. You will choose two performances for your child to participate.
Dorothy Gale, a young girl living on a Kansas farm with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry, dreams of escaping her mundane life. The family’s mean neighbor, Miss Gulch, threatens to impound Dorothy’s cherished dog, Toto, so Dorothy and Toto run away. They meet up with kindly Professor Marvel, who subtly convinces Dorothy to return home. Suddenly a cyclone hits, and Dorothy and Toto, seeking shelter in the house, are transported to the Land of Oz. Follow their journey over the rainbow and back again, realizing that there is no place like home.
Rehearsals take place at NCTC, located at 743 North Mountain Road in Newington. Performances take place at John Wallace Middle School, located at 71 Halleran Drive in Newington. To register or for more information, visit www.NCTCArts.org.
