Welcome to Stone Soup Theatre and thank you for considering our acting program. Stone Soup understands just how precious young people are. Therefore, we commit ourselves to giving students the energy, nurturing and discipline necessary to help them become the best they can be both as artists and people. Youth theatre is not only fun and exciting but teaches valuable verbal, motor and relational skills. We at Stone Soup Theatre are dedicated to providing students a unique opportunity to participate in theatre that is inspirational, energetic and truthful.

"A chance to dream - that is the idea, and that is the poetic notion - to dream about that which exists besides that which there is...Acting is the simple testimony that we can be better than who we are."

-From Joe Chaikin's Notebooks

Rehearsal and Performance Workshop

This year we have two opportunities for students to perform. Those who audition for "Greek Myths" who are not cast, can be cast in our secondary "Greek Myths" workshop which rehearses Tuesdays 4-6 pm and culminates in two performances.

"Greek Myths: From Artemis to Zeus"

Ages: 8–20

Tuition: $425

Times: Fri 4–7pm & Sat 10–1pm.

Performances: March 20th–30th

Come to ancient Greece where the Gods and Goddesses walk among not so smart giants, gossipy nymphs and impulsive kings. Using a traditional Greek chorus to tell some well-known and some not so well known myths, this play will delight, amuse and enlighten everyone. Myths create a powerful backdrop for characters with lessons to be learned that reflect all of our lives.

Audition by Appointment Only. Students must prepare a short monologue.

Audition Times:

January 13, 20, & 21. Sundays from 12–3pm and Monday 4–7pm.

"Greek Myths: From Artemis to Zeus"

Ages: 8–13

Tuition: $190

Times: Tuesdays 4–6pm

Performances: To Be Announced

This condensed version of "Greek Myths" is perfect for younger children or children who would like a smaller commitment. Students who audition for the main production, who are not cast, will be cast into this secondary performance workshop.

*********************************

Improvisation

Ages 8-17

Tuition: $175

Wednesdays 4:00-5:30p.m.
