Dear Lamoille County Players’ Patrons, Partners, Casts, and Crew,
Welcome to 2021! Thanks for staying with us through these crazy times.
Lamoille County Players (LCP) continues to work within the state guidelines and follow all necessary precautions during the pandemic when it comes to our productions and our work as stewards of the historic Hyde Park Opera House.
As a result, We are happy to announce that we are mounting a production of Annie - click here to learn more (lots of great roles for children, as you may know!)
Plans for the remainder of the season, including the Children’s Theater Workshop, will be announced this spring. We believe this is the safest course of action for our casts, crews, and patrons.
LCP encourages all Vermonters to continue to observe the physical distancing, mask wearing and other directions from the Governor and the Department of Health. Until we can safely meet again in our beloved opera house, stay safe and healthy, everyone! Once the crisis is over, “the show will go on!”
Sincerely,
Lamoille County Players Board of Directors
2021 Children’s Theater Workshop:
To be announced
REGISTRATION STATUS WILL BE ANNOUNCED DURING THE SPRING 2021
The workshop will run from 9:00am - 3:00pm Mon-Fri for two weeks in late July/early-to-mid August (exact dates TBA) with a final performance on the evening of the 2nd Friday at 7:00pm.
The Lamoille County Players looks forward to the return of the Children’s Theater Workshop, which provides an opportunity for children between the ages of 9-14 to participate in a theatrical production. The cost for the two week workshop is $175. Full and partial scholarships are available by request for those with a need.
The CTW will be a two week, ten-day workshop in late July/early-to-mid August (exact dates TBA), Mon-Fri, both weeks. It is designed to introduce children to theater, cultivate individual talents, and afford those with varied experience the opportunity for continued growth and personal challenge. During the course of the two-week camp, participants will collaborate on all aspects of theater production and performance. The workshop will conclude with a full performance on the second Friday at 7:00PM.
Please note that while no previous theater experience is necessary. LCP requires that the child have an interest in being involved in the workshop! The workshop will create a supportive and safe environment for the child to try something new; we only ask that they come willing to try and willing to say “Yes!”
The CTW will take place in Hyde Park village, at the historic Hyde Park Opera House, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm each day. The workshop schedule will address many areas of theater: not only auditioning for parts (and contending with the casting choices that are made!) and rehearsing scenes, songs and dances, but also costuming, makeup, sets, props, and more. All activities will ultimately be working toward the performance on the second and final Friday of the CTW.
Each child should bring their own bag lunch and beverage each day as well as a beach towel. Children should wear comfortable clothes that allow them to sit, lay and roll on the floor, as well as socks, tennis shoes and any dance shoes they may have that will not leave scuff marks. Everything should be able to get dirty, and never hinder movement or imagination. Each child should also bring a 3-ring binder and several pencils each day, and all items should be marked with the child’s name.
