Theatre Victoria's School of Performing
Arts Acting Academy - Fall
The ten week Fall Session of the Acting Academy will begin
September 16, 2008 for Grades 1-4 and 5-12.
Grades 1-4, in creative dramatics, participate using their
imaginations and five senses to portray characters on stage.
They work on the basics of presentation: movement, projection,
voice and expression. Students work on using action to tell a
story with all the plot elements. This class emphasizes
creativity and imagination utilizing improvisational activities
and play acting. A small performance at the end of the session
demonstrates the skills they have learned.
Grades 5-12 participate in role-playing activities through
improvisation and character development. They engage in in-depth
scene work utilizing monologues and two or three character
scenes. Students learn audition techniques, vocal projection,
movement for actors and are introduced to the basic elements of
technical theatre. A small performance at the end of the session
demonstrates the skills they have learned.
Registration for the Fall Session of the Acting Academy will
begin August 1st! For more information, and to sign up now call

Dearly Beloved - Fall Comedy
The writers of the television sensation "The Golden Girls" have
brought us a story of a completely dysfunctional-but
loveable-Texas family in the throes of another series of
life-changing events. Dearly Beloved does for small-town
Southern weddings what Dearly Departed did for small-town
Southern funerals.
The Futrelle sisters have kept tongues wagging for years.
Frankie Futrelle has ongoing conversations with their dead
mother, sister Twink is desperate to get her boyfriend of 14 1/2
years down the aisle, and sister Honey Raye has a tendency to
race to the altar at every opportunity.
Frankie has made herself sick with preparations for her daughter
Tina Jo's wedding. In spite of her own marital problems, Frankie
hopes that she can pull it off with elegance and style. But on
the day of the nuptials, Frankie's hope begins to dim when she
discovers Twink's alternative solution to an expensive catered
wedding dinner is a potluck supper sponsored by Clovis Sanford's
House of Meat. When Honey Raye arrives at the church in
skintight gold lame', consumed by hot flashes and a
determination to right old family wrongs, Frankie's hop is
shaken. It is lost completely when word reaches the church that
Tina Jo and her fiance' have fled Fayro and eloped. Let's not
forget about Gina Jo's (Tina Jo's twin sister) lasting crush on
the UPS seminarian!
