with Ellen M. Gregg
Classes
begin September 8, 2008 and
run through the week of May 11, 2009
These classes will run for 30 weeks
(with week 31 being devoted to dress rehearsals for recitals),
will feature fun in-class demos on
December 17 and December 20, and will conclude with end-of-year recitals
for family and friends!
Ellen's intent is to infuse her students with her passion for performing while
giving them basic tools to use and to enhance their own skills. Students
will
be given suggestions for making a great impression at auditions and will work on
a - or perhaps even develop
their own! - musical play in class which they will perform at the end of the school
year. They will also be taught how to read a script to find out all they
can about any role they're playing, will be offered memorizing techniques, will
learn basic stagecraft, terminology ... and much, much more!!

«Week of
December 22, 2008
«Week of

*Monday
classes only will be held the week of November 24 to make up for Columbus
Day.
**Yes, this is correct. Bear in mind that
New Hampshire divides the state in two when it comes to the February vacation
week so that the North Country isn't overwhelmed. Truly. We
understand that this does not line up with all school systems, but it can't be
helped. If your child is on vacation the week of February 16 and won't be in class,
please let Miss Ellen know.
