st. stephen theatre youth camp

for two weeks in july, ten girls from all over charlotte county participated in a little theatre camp operated by the extraordinary ang. through team building exercises and workshops in characterization and theatrical skills these girls were knitted together as a young theatre troop, and new friendships were formed.

i was delighted to be invited to sit in on the last day of the theatre camp when the girls performed a little informal showcase for their parents. the showcase consisted of popular scenes from "peter pan," "fiddler on the roof," and "newsies," as well as a couple of monologues. the costumes and props were make-do and the set was very raw, but the performance was stellar!

i am inspired by the talent of these young women. they had less then two weeks to memorize lines, blocking and, choreography... and the pulled it all off with style, enthusiasm and grace!

[this was the first year ang moore conducted her theatre camp but her experience with theatre goes back decades. and she is bringing her passion and experience to the st. croix theatre company with this fall's production of oscar wilde's "the importance of being ernest".] 

here are a few pictures from the showcase!

i took a few shots of the girls individually in their favourite costume from the showcase so they could remember how fantastically unqiue they are!!

love & sunshine,
