We’re so excited to tell you everything about Summer Festival 2015! This brochure will be a helpful resource, giving you information about classes, timing, prices, and most importantly, the vision for the summer!

The Summer Festival combines the rigorous rehearsal process of the Winter Festival and Spring Shakespeare with the learning of the Fall and Spring Classes + Voice Lessons. Actors will be fully engaged and delightfully challenged as they learn performance, dance, and music in this multi-disciplinary setting. Every individual is pushed to explore new techniques and delve further into the craft of acting by engaging the mind, heart, and body.

Literature comes to life this summer with Disney's My Son Pinocchio, Jr., Godspell, and Rough Magic. Competition gets fierce with Damn Yankees and a musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Lost, and it doesn't get bigger than Titanic. Younger students in the overture program will be transported to a pirate ship, the circus, and ancient Egypt! Performers of all ages will be moved as they learn various forms of dance and engage in physical work. Participants will experiment with design and backstage elements, enabling them to walk away well-versed in theatre production.

Whether you’ve been doing theatre your entire life or this will be your first time on a stage, the young company Summer Festival 2015 has something for you.

We hope to see you this summer!

We love your enthusiasm, but we encourage you to read about the fantastic summer that

awaits before turning to pages 9-12 and completing the enrollment forms at the

Limited to 20 students in each week, our overture program introduces our youngest

actors to musical theatre performance in a fun, open, and supportive atmosphere. We

consider acting, music, dance, and design different ways to tell a story to our audience,

each equally important to develop! Each week explores a particular theme through acting,

dance, songs, and theatre crafts. Students spend the day playing theatre games, learning

choreography, developing group and solo singing skills, engaging in stage crafts, and

ultimately rehearsing a short original piece with music and dance. The week culminates in

sharing of that piece for friends and family on Stoneham Theatre’s stage.

The weeks complement each other, but subject matter and materials won’t be repeated;

a student who attends only one week won’t feel out of place, and a student who attends

all six weeks will be continually challenged.

Limited to 33 students, our act 1 program focuses on key skills needed as an actor:

building a strong and supportive ensemble, creating larger-than-life physical and vocal

characters, and developing confidence by committing to our performances and each

other. Strengthening music ability is central, especially rhythm and pitch; all students

should be able to read music by the end of the program. We also introduce students to

the design process through constructing props for their productions.

All actors are cast in one of two musicals: approximately 30 students will be cast in Disney’s

My Son Pinocchio, Jr., and approximately 3 students will join act 2 actors in Godspell.

Limited to 50 students, our act 2 program builds on the skills developed in act 1 while

widening our focus. Actors take on multiple perspectives; not only by tackling challenging

characters, but also by analyzing scenes and songs to uncover the performance clues

playwrights and composers give us. Dance is more challenging, incorporating both

musical theatre and contemporary dance. Actors participate in the design process

through collaboration with costume designers.

All actors are cast in one of two musicals: approximately 22 act 2 actors will be cast in

Godspell and approximately 28 in Damn Yankees.

Limited to 55 students, our act 3 program continues the explorations of our younger

programs with increased rigor. As actors, we explore a diverse array of professional

training methods. Music theory is added to the curriculum for all. Diversity is also a

hallmark of our movement training, as we expand beyond musical theatre dance into

myriad styles. All our work has big questions in mind: what does it mean to be an actor?

An artist? A person? How can theatre make us better at all three?

Our three productions expand in scope to include both a challenging play and an edgy

off-beat musical, in addition to a Broadway favorite. All actors are cast in one of these

shows. Approximately 24 actors will be cast in the musical Titanic. Approximately 17

actors will be cast in the musical Love's Labour’s Lost. Approximately 14 actors will be

cast in the play Rough Magic.

During the first four weeks, the program runs Monday through Friday, 8:30am – 2:30pm.

Actors spend roughly two-thirds of their day in show rehearsals and the remaining one-

third in classes in acting, music, dance, and stagecraft.

CastingFor acts 1, 2, and 3, we use the first

two days of the program for the

casting process. More information

about the audition process and

how to prepare is available via

the link to the online participation

packet sent to each actor upon

enrollment. in casting, we combine

the actor preferences with our

audition observations, then

match them with the technical

requirements of each role and

learning goals for each actor. At

the end of the process, we place

students in whichever production

and role best suits the artistic and

educational needs of both the

program and the student. Roles

will not be double-cast.

Rehearsalsin rehearsals, actors work with a team that

usually includes a director, music director,

choreographer and stage manager. Each

production team is composed of professional

theatre artists or current university students

majoring in theatre. in some cases, they are also

graduates of our program!

Classesin addition to rehearsals, students take two daily

classes in various theatre disciplines during the

first four weeks. We divide that into two-week

sessions so each student takes a total of four

classes. For all actors, that includes one acting

class and one music class. All act 1 and act 2

students will also take a dance class. At the end

of each session, some classes share what they’ve

been working on with family, friends, and fellow

actors.

To help place students in classes, each actor

completes a questionnaire that assesses

previous experience and training as part of the

online participation packet; we also use the

dance audition for class placement. in addition

to the essentials, previous classes have included

everything from stage combat to ballroom

dance, and Suzuki to stage makeup!

Festival PerformancesAll six productions culminate in

fully realized public performances

on Stoneham Theatre’s stage. Each

production has three performances

over the course of Thursday

through Sunday of the final week.
