C.R.O.W.'s Advanced Acting Program students will be offering two live public performances on Friday, August 9th and Saturday, August 10th at C.R.O.W (3120 Hwy 101 in Florence). This year’s theme focuses on those moments in life when mixed emotions take center stage. The camp’s concept was created by C.R.O.W.’s Artistic Director, Melanie Heard, who will also write the script. According to Heard, “The theatre masks – comedy/tragedy – which are the traditional symbols of our artform also eloquently describe what it’s really like to be human. Nothing is ever fully one way or the other. For us to be alive means that we feel many things…sometimes simultaneously. This play explores those pivotal moments.”
C.R.O.W. alum, Elyse Stewart, will be co-director of this year’s Advanced Acting camp, having participated in many past programs herself. “I am so excited to have Elyse by my side as a voice of the younger generation and a past student who really knows the ropes,” said Heard. “Elyse is a dedicated, hard-working, and talented young woman who will bring a wonderful perspective to this year’s camp.” Stewart will have just returned from a 9-week ballet intensive program with the Joffrey Ballet in New York and California.
The Advanced Acting Camp is truly an advanced level program, and will test the teenager’s skill, focus, dedication, and talent. Five camp days may not seem like a long time to put together an entire show. But during that whirlwind week, students will spend their time auditioning, rehearsing, polishing, and perfecting their individual parts in the show. They will also continue to refine real world life skills such as responsibility, teamwork, cooperation, and more. “This is really good practice for the ‘real world.’ They will learn so much,” said Heard.
“Happy/Sad” will be performed at the C.R.O.W. Center for the Performing Arts – 3120 Hwy 101 in Florence. Suggested minimum donation at the door is $10 per person (cash or credit card only), and doors open at 6:30 pm for both performances. Seating is first come, first served. C.R.O.W. requests that the general public, not just parents and supporters will attend this performance, and give the kids some much deserved accolades. “Come cheer on our C.R.O.W. teens! They need YOU in the audience!” says Heard. For more information on the C.R.O.W. program, please visit www.crowkids.com
