Immersion into the theater arts at a young age can help youth gain greater self-esteem, develop critical thinking skills, learn how to express oneself and make new friends, in addition to myriad other benefits.
Murphys Creek Theatre is now accepting entrants into its popular and educational summer Mirror Project program, the culmination of which will be a production of a Shakespeare play performed in the beautiful amphitheatre at Stevenot Winery.
The Mirror Project is an intensive Shakespearean training and performance experience for students ages 9 to 16. Core classes include acting, text analysis, voice and movement and audition techniques, with additional specialty classes offered in stage combat, dance, acting with masks, acting for the camera and technical theater. Classes are taught by company actors performing in MCT's summer repertory productions and by various guest artists, giving students an opportunity to work closely with a variety of professional theater artists. The final product of the conservatory will be a full-length public student production of “The Merchant of Venice” by William Shakespeare at the Cornelia B. Stevenot Performing Arts Center at Stevenot Winery.
The Mirror Project runs weekdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., from Wednesday, July 6, through Tuesday, Aug. 3, with some weekend rehearsals as well as two public performances on Sunday and Monday, Aug. 2 and 3.
The cost for participation in the Mirror Project is $350. For more information, or to register for an audition, contact Murphys Creek Theatre at 728-8422 or education@murphyscreektheatre.org.
