WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF STAGE AND WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT THAN OTHER THEATER EXPERIENCES?
The main mission of STAGE is to use the medium of theater (and the arts) to teach about God and the message of love. It is based on the Call to Artists by John Paul II. Our theater team of professional adults, work with this philosophy in order to give the students a full experience of learning about theater, dance, and music, while having the fun of expressing it to others. It gives them an opportunity to hone their art, develop confidence, experience their faith in a lively and productive way, and learn about teamwork in a positive environment that focuses on Godly virtues. S.T.A.G.E. makes every effort to produce a high quality show with superb music and choreography, great costumes, and colorful sets with creative lighting and sound. We pride ourselves on thinking outside the theater box at times, to give the audience a fresh taste of live performance, especially with kids! With over fifteen years under our belt, the STAGE team is committed to providing each student with one on one time to learn their part, along with many group activities to give them a fun, social experience throughout the four weeks, all in the Spirit of S.T.A.G.E.! Come join the fun this summer and be a part of S.T.A.G.E.! Additional questions may be directed to Lee Hotovy at [email protected] FAQ FOR ONE DAY CAMPS
Camps are designed to give students a fun day of theater, and to offer them a taste of the art if it is new to them. This camp will be presented by Mrs. Hotovy along with student assistants. When is the registration and tuition due? Classes will be filled in a first-come basis and class sizes are limited. Registrations are due three days prior to camp date. What will my child get out of the camp? Students will learn the basics of theater within the theme of the camp. How should my child dress and what should they bring? Comfortable and modest clothing for movement and fun. Tennis shoes or jazz/dance shoes if you have them preferred. Students should provide their own sack lunch or snack for break mid-way through the camp, along with water bottles. We will provide costumes for the presentation. |
The Selfish Giant and Jack
FAQ: What is the Selfish Giant and Jack about? Based on the allegorical story by Oscar Wilde, and the fairy tale of Jack and the Beanstalk, the two main characters of these tales come head to head with one another. The giant is very, very Selfish, and Jack steals his heart in order to help him convert to love. It is all set in the giant's garden where the statues, stone walls, flowers and more come to life. Young children play in the garden at times, and through the use of gigantic puppetry, the giant spies them and ensnares them. The North Wind and Snow add to the cold heart of the giant. Through humor and a lively court scene, performers will have many opportunities for lines, song and dance. Beautiful music , dance, and poetic dialogue make this an endearing and humorous piece for all to see. ROLES: The Giant Adult Male voice The Ogre Teen/male or female Jack male or female Beanstalk (friend to Jack) male or female The Stone Bird female/dancer Garden Statues female/teen The North Wind male/teen The Snow female/teen The Hail male or female/tap The Sleet male or female Stone Walls male or female Young Children male or female Where will shows be performed and rehearsals take place? All rehearsals and shows will be held at the Sacred Heart Center for the Arts located at 540 N. 31st Street. What will the basic schedule look like?

Yes in order to cover expenses and operate professionally, we have a tuition package. The package provides the following: TUITION PACKAGE 10 weeks of training in the theatrical arts.
