Exciting Summer Theatre Opportunities for all ages!
SAAC is thrilled to present a variety of engaging summer theatre opportunities designed to inspire creativity and nurture talent for all ages. This summer lineup includes – “Legally Blonde the Musical” a community theatre production and SAAC’s summer musical and “Annie, JR” for both the 24-Hour Musical Camp for Drama Club students grades 8up and the one week Youth Theatre Camp with sessions for our “Littles” pre-k to grade 2 and “Juniors” grade 3-7. Finally, late summer brings a production of “Annie, Kids” for a special one week Penguin Project Camp for grades 3-12.
Community theatre auditions for “Legally Blonde” will take place on May 20 & 22 starting at 6pm. Directed by visiting UAPB theatre instructor Taijee, “Legally Blonde” offers roles for 12 characters along with a large and lively ensemble. Returning to SAAC are Hannah McGaugh of Lucy’s Ladies Dance Studio as choreographer and Tiffanie Duke at Assistant Director.
“Legally Blonde is joyful, funny, and endlessly empowering,” said Taijee. “My goal is to honor the humor, sparkle, and heart audiences love while exploring how this story can reflect the world we live in today. This production celebrates authenticity, individuality, and the courage to fully step into who you are.” Auditions are open to aged 16 and older. Dancers are specifically encouraged to showcase their talents. Video auditions are welcome. Sponsored by Murphy USA, “Legally Blonde” takes the stage July 9-12, 16-19.
The 24-Hour Musical Theatre Camp is for students entering grades 8 and up, which will present “Annie, Jr”. Directors Lynn Gunter and Cassie Hickman will hold the intensive two day camp 10am – 8pm on May 29-30, with the final performance at 7 pm on Saturday. Camp is open to the first 30 students who register. Casting for roles will be hosted May 4 at SAAC. Tuition is $120/145. “With an emphasis on fun, I encourage you to register today!,” said Gunter. “The 24-Hour Musical experience will be like none other, working and playing right up til show time!”
