What goes into reading a script and bringing a character to life? How does an actor build his or her character to make the audience believe that he/she IS that character? And how do you move on stage so that it seems natural and real and not like someone trying to ACT like someone else. Instructor Tyra Moody will explore all of these questions and more in "Character Kids." Remember, the audience should never see you acting.

Barefoot in the Park
by Neil Simon
Directed by Jack Stevenson
Feb. 24-26 and March 2-4, 2012
Community Performance Center
Paul and Corie Bratter are newlyweds in every sense of the word. He's a straight-as-an-arrow lawyer and she's a free spirit always looking for the latest kick. Their new apartment is her most recent find—too expensive with bad plumbing and in need of a paint job. After a six day honeymoon, they get a surprise visit from Corie's loopy mother and decide to play matchmaker during a dinner with their neighbor-in-the-attic Velasco, where everything that can go wrong, does. Paul just doesn't understand Corie, as she sees it. He's too staid, too boring and she just wants him to be a little more spontaneous, running "barefoot in the park" would be a start...
Old Friends Made New
Charlotte's Web
Adapted by Joseph Robinette
Music and lyrics by Charles Strouse
Based on the book by E.B. White
June 1-3 and 8-10, 2012
Community Performance Center
This exciting, new musical version of Charlotte's Web brings a new dimension to E.B. White's beloved classic. With music and lyrics by Charles Strouse (Annie, 'Bye, 'Bye Birdie) and book by Joseph Robinette (national award-winning children's playwright) you will thrill to a musical score which includes "Eating," Wilbur the pig's humorous yet poignant song about growing up; "Who Says We Can't Be Friends," an enchanting duet between Wilbur and his new-found companion Charlotte; "Welcome to the Zuckerman Barn," featuring all the story's unforgettable animals in a hand-clapping, toe-tapping hoe-down; and "Summer," a haunting, nostalgic chorus number which evokes a time and place from everyone's childhood. This joyous musical offers a very special experience.
