Calling young performers! Riverfront Children's Theatre at 454
Main Street,
Fitchburg
announces spring classes for kids age 4 through teens that will
conclude with a public performance of an original music-theatre
production: “Around The World to Fitchburg – Happy 250th.”
“This
year, we wanted to create a special production for Fitchburg's 250th
anniversary,” explains instructor Janet Cragin, who appeared in
Fitchburg's 1964 Bicentennial pageant as 'The Muse of Fitchburg.' All
children will have the opportunity to be in the play, which will be
presented on Saturday, April 12 at Fitchburg Library at 1 pm.
Riverfront
Children's Theatre classes include Showtime for age 4 to 6 (4-4:30,
$50 ) and 7 to 9 (4:30-5:15, $60). Classes meet on Tuesdays, January
28 through April 8. Showtime classes offer movement and dance steps,
songs, and improvisation, plus new features such as scene painting,
and costume creation.
"This
season, we are offering a new improv workshop for kids age 10 through
teens," Cragin explains. “Fun Friday meets on first and third
Fridays from 6 to 8 pm, (February 7, 21, March 7, 21, April 4, 18).
We'll explore scene study, paint sets, work with costumes and makeup
under stage lights and create crazy characters. We offered the
two-hour workshop in the fall, and it was a big hit, as kids are able
to explore theatrecraft in detail."
