SUMMER AT REEL KIDS

Hi there!

I'm writing this to let you know about some summer theatre/film camps I'll be teaching at Reel Kids in Superior. Would love to see you there. Here is the email we've been sending out:

Summer classes have officially kicked off here at Reel Kids, and we couldn't be more excited! Fresh off our closing performance of Dear, Edwina Saturday night, today was our first day of rehearsal for The Secret Garden (opening June ?), and our first day of class for production design. Secret Garden, one of the most beautiful musicals of the past few decades, is based on the classic novel of the same name, and performs June 27th, 28th, and 29th. We hope to see you at the show!

June 16-20, we are offering Hogwarts Film Academy- a week long class where students can film their favorite scenes from the Harry Potter Stories, casting themselves as their favorite characters. Students can write their own scripts, or use material from the screenplays. Click here for more information. For the more advanced, we have a film directing class in June- this class is an exploration of short film making, from beginning idea to shooting the film to post-production. For more info, click here.

In July, we go through the looking glass with our production of Disney's Alice in Wonderland. This is the stage version of the classic Disney film- full of great music and unforgettable characters like The Mad Hatter, The Cheshire Cat, and The Queen of Hearts. Rehearsals beginJune 30, and performances are July 25th, 26th, and 27th. Slots are still available- click here for more info. And if you have a young artist more interested in the design aspect of theatre, in working backstage, building sets, costumes, lights, etc. we have a production class connected to this show. For more info, click here.

Also in July we have several film camps. We start with Camp Half Blood, a two week camp based on the Percy Jackson books. If your young artist ever wanted to make a short movie involving Greek Gods, fighting monsters, and modern teen-agers, this is the camp for them! Click here for more info.  We also have The Hunger Games Film School- where students get to make their own short films based on The Hunger Games. Each student gets to direct their own short film, based on these very popular books. Click here for more info.

And, as if July wasn't action packed enough, we are also offering a beginning film makers class called "iMovie and Beyond" a one week camp exploring the field of digital video and video editing- perfect for any novice movie mogul. For more info, click here.

And in August, it's all about The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee- a hilarious musical for actors ages 12 and up. Smart, edgy, and heart warming, this 2005 show has become an instant classic. Slots are still available- for more info, click here. And if you have an artist interested in working on the production elements of this show, click here.

We'll see you at Reel Kids!

Kari, Kelly, Devin, Tara and Hunter!
