12th ANNUAL STUDENT THEATER WORKSHOP: 2018!
HANS BRINKER, adapted by Gayle Stahlhuth from HANS BRINKER OR THE SILVER SKATES by Mary Mapes Dodge, directed by Robert LeMaire
MISSION: To provide a safe, nurturing, and professional atmosphere for ages 10-16 to rehearse and perform. No previous experience necessary and there are no auditions for admittance since ELTC believes that the theatrical experience should be accessible to everyone.
It's December, 1853 in Broek, Holland, and everyone is talking about the big ice-skating race and the silver pair of skates that is the prize. Hans and Gretel Brinker are two of the finest skaters in town, even though they are too poor to have proper skates. How they come to race and how their family fortunes are reversed are the subjects of the much beloved American classic, Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates, written in 1865 by Mary Mapes Dodge.
The last eleven productions, Alice in Wonderland, The Little Princess, Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates (2009), Connecticut Yankees in Queen Guenever's Court, Little Women, Storybook Theater,1,001 Arabian Nights, The Dancing Princesses, Tom Sawyer, Detective, Dracula's Guests, and Robin Hood were performed by students in front of standing-room only audiences! This year, for 9 sessions, 12 students, ages 10-16, will once more have the opportunity to work with ELTC's professional staff: Robert LeMaire, Lee O'Connor, and Gayle Stahlhuth.
Workshop dates are Tues.-Fri., June 19-22; June 26-29; and Mon. July 2: 12:30-3:30; with a performance on Mon., July 2 at 8:00 pm. Admission to the performance is FREE. Fee: $200.00 per student. Location is the First Presbyterian Church, 500 Hughes Street. Contact the theater for more details and to receive a Workshop Form or Click Here to download the PDF form.
My daughter had always wanted to try theater, and when your company started a summer workshop for students, she was thrilled. At first, she just wanted to work behind the scenes, but once she got there, and with the encouragement of Gayle and Lee, she jumped right in and did 5 different parts. She gained a great deal of confidence in being on stage. It was the highlight of her summer and she can't wait until next year. - Joanne Klineburger
