Center Stage Productions

Just a quick update on camps.
We’re just about three weeks away from the start of the best time of Summer and we have over 90 kids registered so far for all three camps! That is totally awesome and our directors are loving it! All those great kids coming in that they get to work AND play with during camp.

Don’t forget to pay your balance in full before camp so there isn’t a hassle on the first day of your camp. Also, make sure you have registered your theatre camper online on the camp form so we have all the information we need (like contact info, t-shirt size, etc.) so that we can have everything ready the first day of each camp. Also, you can download the Liability Release form to bring with you the first day of camp.

Production meetings are happening this weekend as we get everything in place and ready to go. Stay tuned for more updates!

Thanks for being a part of this awesome family!!

The June 1 deadline is fast approaching!
If you would like to save $50 off your drama camp registration,
make sure you sign up before the end of May.

Also, if you’ve already registered and paid your deposit,
don’t forget to pay your remaining balance by June 1.

Looking forward to seeing everybody at camps this year!

Thank you to everyone who participated, helped out, volunteered for camps this year to help make them all a rousing success! 

Keep an eye out for an evaluation form for each of the camps where campers as well as parents can give us much needed feedback to help us make next year’s camps even better! 

It is certainly a joy to have so many kids (and parents) participate in this year’s camps and we look forward to partnering with you all again, either next summer, or at the South Arbor Spring Musical! 

#TheatreLifeForever 

Tomorrow’s the day, people! Don’t forget to bring your forms, payments (if you still need to finish paying), lunch, snack money, audition pieces/music, and an AWESOME ATTITUDE!

Get some rest tonight and we’ll see everybody at 9A sharp!

Cut Loose @ Drama Camp 2016! #cspcamp2016

“Now I gotta cut loose, footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose” 

Hope you’re getting excited about the senior high camp starting next Tuesday, July 5. Keep checking the Center Stage Facebook page each day this week.
Don’t forget to be working on your audition piece(s) for the “frooglefarting.”
(If you’ve been to camp before, you’ll know what this means. If not, wait till you show up the first day of camp…)

“Everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody cut, everybody cut
(Everybody) everybody cut footloose!” 

Stay tuned to the website blogs for upcoming camp info. Also, make sure you have liked the Facebook page and keep up-to-date there, too!

Auditions will take place the first day of camp.  Everyone at camp is in the performance.  If you do not sing an audition piece you will be in the ensemble, but will not be considered for any role.

If you want to audition for a role in the show, you’ll need to prepare before camp begins.  To audition, be ready to sing, memorized, 16-32 bars (measures) of a song in the same style as the show (Footloose). Songs from the show are acceptable.  If you can select a song that has two contrasting styles, that would be great, but it is not required. If you have the sheet music, bring it to the first day of camp.

A monologue is not required for this year’s camp audition.

We would like to announce the start of a Tech Track for those interested in learning the ropes about the behind-the-scenes work that goes into a production. This will be a great opportunity for those who love theatre but may not want to or like to be on stage, or for those who just LOVE the geeky side of things. We are planning on offering several tracks in this area: Set design and building; Costumes & props; Audio & lighting. These will be guided by some of our own very talented and patient staff and senior crew.

Register online on the Drama Camp registration page and select Tech Track for your option and answer the appropriate questions–which show(s) you’re interested in.
We are limiting this to 3 participants per camp so sign up now! (Pricing is the same as camp prices.)

Thanks to everyone who helped make the production of “Oklahoma!” have a successful run for South Arbor! Now we are more than ready to move forward with our summer drama camps.
