Fallbrook Players to
Offer a Wide Range of Theatre Workshops This Summer
Starting Monday June 28th and running
through Friday, July 2nd, 9:00am – noon, students ages 8 – 18 will be
able to work with award-winning choreographer Allisan Whitman to hone their
dance skills and have a blast with the very popular Spontaneous Musical
Workshop. Students will spend the
week learning routines and then go to public places to surprise unsuspecting
people as they go about their daily business.
The look on people’s faces when you randomly break out in song and dance
in the most unsuspecting places…priceless.
A Long Form Improvisation class
will be offered on Saturday, July 10th, from 10:00am – 4:00pm. Taught by Brian Weissman and assisted by Gale
Abille, improv is a theatre skill one must have to succeed on the stage, and
extremely helpful in real life too! This
is a side-splitting day with some serious learning. In this workshop, students will learn the
basics of long-form
improvisation: a performance in which a group of actors creates
interconnected comedic scenes, on the spot, from a single suggestion. This
workshop is for ages 11 – 18.
Improvisation for Storytelling is the third workshop in the
line-up. In this workshop, students will learn the art of improvisational
storytelling. This art form is one that true actors need to cultivate and
frequently practice. Brian & Gale will be using storytelling games to help
students master communication, learn about language, and practice thinking
skills. This workshop is for ages 8 - 18 and will be divided into ability
groups. Saturday, July 17th, 10:00am – 4:00pm.
Work That Song! comes just in time for students to sharpen their
skills to land a coveted role in the Fallbrook Players’ fall production of Les
Miserables. In this workshop, students
will learn to pick the right song for their voice, how to cut the song to the
best 16 bars (or one minute) to show off their vocal skills, and how to get the
most from the audition accompanist. Also
included will be vocal technique, music theory, and how to get a backtrack made
for auditions. Offered Saturday, July
24th, from noon – 4:00pm, this workshop is for all levels ages 8 – 18
and will be geared to the individual’s level, from beginning to very
advanced. Taught by award-winning musical director Leigh
Sutherlin and assisted by Thomas Harker.
Limited enrollment.
Stage Management is our final
workshop and it begins August 1st, and runs through October 3rd, with meetings
scheduled to match with participant's schedules. Taught by Dana Carr, one of the resident stage
managers for Moonlight Amphitheatre and other professional venues. Ms. Carr will
teach the techniques and practice of stage management, including the
organization and preparation of a production book from rehearsal through the
cueing of a production. Also covered will be the art of navigating the
relationship between the stage manager and the artistic, administrative, and
production staffs, stress management, time management and performance
maintenance. This workshop is for ages 12 - 18
and is limited to 10 students. The perfect workshop for those who love the
behind the scenes action and would like to someday work at a professional
venue.
Complete information and registration forms for all of these workshops
and Fallbrook Players’ upcoming production of Les Miserables can be found on
their website at www.FallbrookPlayers.com or by

This is an 8 week class with open enrollment for those students who are looking to build their drama skills! The class will end with an open performance at Pearl Studios so parents can see what their "kidz" have learned.
I look forward to seeing you in class!

This class is open to all levels! In this class students will learn the fundamentals of drama. In class we will play multiple theater games to improve confidence and commitment on (and off) stage. We will use improvisations to stimulate creativity and stretch our acting muscles and eventually move on to monologue and/or scene work to practice our new skills. Class will culminate in a small, in-class showcase where parents and friends can witness their young actor's growth
The class is aimed to improve acting technique, improve confidence and teach students how to project their naturally effervescent personalities toward an audience.
