LIGHTSIDE ACTING TROUPE: Fall 2021

Lightside Acting Troupe

The purpose of Lightside Acting Troupe shares much with its sister organization, "Lightside Choir."  We seek to:

-increasing their confidence in themselves by giving them opportunities to memorize and perform in a play;

-help them strengthen friendship by creating a respectful and inspiring environment to meet in;

-strengthening their "crust" skills of elocution, memorization, stage presence and clarity;

-teach them the value of working in a group to achieve a successful performance, making sacrifices and demonstrating dedication.

Cost for the troupe will entirely not for profit, with a fee covering the expenses of facility rental, equipment and script/copyright purchase.  This will be determined on the needs of that season's play.  Information for this semester is on the registration form.

Auditions are Monday, Aug 2 from 11-11:45 am.
A parent meeting is at noon (at the conclusion of auditions).
You need to be registered in order to audition.  You will be able to sign up for a time slot for auditions on the registration. Tuition is due at the parent meeting. 

LAT will be meeting mostly from 2:30-4:30 pm on Thursdays (with some exceptions as noted in the registration) at Mary's house in Guysville.  We will hopefully be performing a non-musical script of "Les Miserables,"* contracted from a script agency.

Once part of the Troupe, you will receive an invitation to the Lightside Acting Troupe Facebook group and be put on the email mailing list for more information. You will also receive an email with an overview of the semester, costuming instructions, volunteer opportunities, props, music links etc.

Here is a segment (see 1 min in approx) showcasing a segment of another production: 

 and here is the page I requested the script from

I loved this quote from the site:  

As we witness the life journey of Hugo’s heroic Jean Valjean, may we ask ourselves some questions the author poses: “Am I my brother’s keeper? Might I be an instrument of care and grace? And if not — why not?”

Please remind your kids that if they had a bigger part than someone else last time, they will probably have a smaller role this time.  Also, like the last production, I will have people cast in multiple parts if they have smaller roles.  I will have the official sign-up out on July 10th.  Auditions will just be for those who did not perform last time with me and will be held July 29-August 1.  Roles will be assigned and divvied out the first full week of August, with rehearsals starting September 2.  We will perform the first full week in December.  So excited!

(*The option is "The Princess and the Pigs" a musical comedy. I am waiting for confirmation from the producer of the plays to use them.)
