Story Theatre

Another Actor’s Studio summer camp finished.  This year they performed “Story Theatre”.  A series of stories in the Grimm Brother’s Collection and Aesop’s Fable.  Some of the tales were dark and some of them were really funny.  Six of the kids got to direct some of the plays. 

They performed 10 tales from the Grimm Brother’s and Aesop’s Fables collection.  The Little Peasant was funny and tragic.  The peasant cons all of the towns people out of their money, animals and manages to kill off the whole town by getting them to jump into the lake.

Dracula

The boy finished his Actors Studio camp a few weeks ago which is a 3 week camp.  The play was Dracula.  The boy played Professor Van Helsing. 

Before the camp they audition and are assigned their parts so they need to know their lines by the first day of camp.  Hubby and I ran lines with him before the camp started and a little bit after it started.  Most of the kids in this camp have been acting for a while and some of them are in my son’s dance company.  So he knows quite a few of them.  There were a few new kids.
