Find us on Facebook! Town-Hall-Arts-Center-Youth- Theatre-Programs This hilarious musical is appropriate for actors and audiences of any age. Now with two performances, you’ll have twice the chance to get hooked on this upbeat score. So stop by Pete’s Luncheonette and see what happens! Almost Maine, Teen Play Production Camp Grades 6-12 1:00 – 4:00 pm, Monday – Friday, July 27 – August 7 Performances Friday, August 7 and Saturday, August 8 at 7 pm Directed by Robert Michael Sanders Tuition: $300 Welcome to Almost, Maine, a town that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States—it’s almost in Canada. And it almost doesn’t exist. Because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it’s just…Almost. One cold, clear Friday night in the middle of winter, while the northern lights hover in the sky above, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in the strangest ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. Love is lost, found, and confounded. And life for the people of Almost, Maine will never be the same. ALMOST, MAINE: It’s love. But not quite. This collection of (mostly) comedic vignettes is perfect for actors looking to stretch their abilities and take on new challenges. The class will focus on teaching vital skills for advanced actors and serve as a great introduction for those new to the stage as they prepare for two full performances on Town Hall’s Main Stage! On-Camera Techniques Grades 4-9 10- 12 pm, Monday – Friday, August 3 – August 7 Directed by Robert Michael Sanders Tuition: $150 In this week long class we will explore the differences between live theater and on-camera performance. We will focus on commercials and scenes from favorite movies. Every student will get a chance to learn how to perform for commercials, films, and sit-com style television shows. We will learn the terminology, different styles, discuss on-camera auditions and learn the basics of agents and booking. Every student will receive a complete DVD of the class projects for their files. www.TownHallArtsCenter.org 2450 West Main Street Littleton, CO 80120 303-794-2787 x217 For questions or to register electronically contact our Education Director, Seth Maisel at [email protected] Legally Blonde, Jr. Teen Musical Production Camp Grades 6-12 1:00 – 4:00 pm, Monday – Friday, June 22 – July 17 No Rehearsal July 3.

Directed by Robert Michael Sanders Tuition: $425 When her Harvard boyfriend leaves her for someone more “serious”, Sorority President Elle Woods transforms herself from debutant to serious student in order to follow him. But it turns out that getting into Harvard was the easy part! Now she has to negotiate both the classroom and the courtroom, all while trying to deal with even more complicated relationships. Will she get the guy? Is he even worth the trouble? A fabulously fun international award-winning musical based on the adored movie, Legally Blonde JR., follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes, snobbery, and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. This junior version is appropriate for all ages and audiences without losing any of the fun!

His diner is known as the ‘Home of the Exotic Milkshakes’. All that changes when Mongo bursts onto the scene! This rock-chomping monster can control thoughts and change shape!

What is your favorite story? Have you ever wanted to take part and become a part of your story book? In this class, appropriate for both boys and girls, we will take your favorite stories and fairy tales and bring them to life! Students will learn to make their favorite parts of the stories come alive on stage both through acting and through the awesome things they will create! Kidprov: Characters Welcome! Improvisation & Character Creation Skills Class Grades 3 - 5 10 am – 12 pm, Monday - Friday, July 20 – July 24 Directed by LuAnn Buckstein Tuition: $150 Presentation for friends and family July 24 at 12 pm. We all know of Harry’s adventures at Hogwarts, from the Sorcerer’s Stone to his final quest for the Horcruxes. But is that all there is to tell? We say “No!” Join the Actors’ Playground for new adventures with Harry Potter, his friends, and even his enemies! Do you have a favorite character that didn’t get enough page or screen time? It’s time to rectify that situation! Secrets of Shakespeare: Text, Monologues, and Scene Study Grades 6-12 1 – 3 pm, Monday – Friday, August 10 – August 14 Directed by Seth Maisel Tuition: $150 Performance for friends and family will be on August 14 at 3 pm. After nearly 400 years, why do we still find Shakespeare so interesting? In this class, we will answer that question! Learn the secrets of Shakespeare that have kept actors and directors coming back for centuries. We will examine the text tricks for making Shakespeare easy to understand and fun to perform. No counting syllables here (OK, maybe a little – but you’ll learn why we do it). You’ll see that nobody does high drama or low comedy like the Bard. Plus, even a little stage combat! Each student will leave with a classical monologue that can be used for classes and auditions. Summer 2015 Classes Regular attendance and commitment are required to enroll in our classes.
