The Bremen Town Musicians: ONE-ACT PLAY: Performance Class

In this “One-Act Play” class, the students will audition, rehearse, and perform the play adaptation of the beloved classic, The Rainbow Fish!  Through auditions and rehearsals, students will learn and develop skills that are important for acting in plays and will be encouraged to challenge themselves outside their comfort zone as they explore acting skills through performance. This class is ideal for students who want to be part of a production but cannot commit to longer hours, as well as any student who wants to be part of a play in a smaller setting than a full Performance Session. Students will receive 1:1 attention from their teachers throughout the semester to hone their skills and develop them individually as actors. 

When the audience shows up to a rehearsal unexpectedly, the cast of ’The Bremen Town Musicians’ decides the show must go on even though opening night is a week away!  Actors scramble for found objects to serve as props and costume pieces while others worry about not knowing their lines.  Luckily, since the characters aren’t really musicians, the only music involved is a simple rhyme with stomping and clapping, and it doesn’t even have to be sung well!  The know-it-all squirrel narrator, Squire, bosses the others around while the vain bird Flinch gets his feathers — er, feather — ruffled when he keeps barging onstage demanding a part in the show!  The set and costumes are slowly ’built’ before our eyes as the play progresses.  The show gets on the road, but not without comedic speed bumps along the way!  The interruptions, squabbles and oversized egos don’t slow them down, they only make for more laughs!  With a little creativity and teamwork, the acting troupe pulls off the heartwarming story of four woebegone animals who find friendship, foil a gang of robbers, and live happily ever after...
