I am so impressed that we have so much talent here in the Mid-South and feel honored to have had a such a wonderful turn out.

Thank you for continuing to give your time and talent to the arts and New Day Theatre. I am excited to work with this cast of talented young actors and crew. Please sign up to work crew, set design and costumes if you were not cast in the show, this is a large show with lots of creative venues for you!

GODSPELL: A Huge Success
Congratulations to the cast and crew! Everyone did a great job and what fun we all had. This was one of the youngest casts to every do Godspell and many of the actors had never been in a musical and certainly never had to sing and dance at the same time. No one would have known. Every audience was wowed!...They laughed, they cried, they were on their feet at the end. The choreography, vocals and acting were incredible. The growth of the kids involved was amazing. New friendship were made and old ones were renewed. And everyone was sad to see it end...That is what a New Day Production is all about. Can't wait 'til next time.

Tennessee Shakespeare Company Member and Resident Teaching Artist, Slade Kyle (Puck, A Midsummer Nights Dream), will lead participants to leap, stomp, crawl, roll, dance and cavort as they free their bodies, explore new ways of moving, and learn how physical commitment strengthens an actor’s belief in the reality of a dramatic situation. Techniques of Stage Movement, Dance, and Narrative Theatre will be combined to direct students in the creation of an original movement piece based on Maurice Sendak’s beloved children’s book. This process will teach young performers to become more comfortable in and aware of their bodies, to express emotion through gesture and dance, and to tell a story using primarily movement. |
