Spotlight Kids: Alice in Wonderland

Description

Join us for Spotlight Kids, a six-week, hands-on theatre adventure where young performers will tumble down the rabbit hole and bring a classic story to life! In this session, students will work collaboratively to rehearse and stage an age-appropriate adaptation of Lewis Carroll's beloved Alice in Wonderland. Students will learn essential acting skills, including stage movement, vocal projection, and character development, all while exploring the whimsical world of Wonderland. With a large cast of flexible roles—from the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts to the silent Cards and curious Flowers, the play is specifically chosen to ensure every student, regardless of reading confidence, has a meaningful part. The course culminates in an exciting, informal final performance for family and friends on the last day, followed by a small reception to celebrate our young actors' wonderful achievement! Get ready to say, "Off with their lines!" (and then learn them quickly!). 

MATERIALS LIST: 

Students will receive a list of costume and prop requests at the second class session. 

INSTRUCTOR BIO: 

Eric began acting in school theatre in kindergarten. Over the years he has returned to the stage in such gems as: Snow White, Arsenic and Old lace, Inherit the Wind, Brigadoon, and most recently Little Town Players’ production of The Diary of Anne Frank. He took a brief, ill-advised break from theatre to study engineering but has found his way back to his true love. Eric and his wife and children moved to Bedford two years ago and they have all fallen in love with our wonderful town.
