Purpose: To educate students in presenting a professional musical theatre audition for school productions, local theatre auditions, college auditions and inside the professional theatre world. The workshop will involve music and dance instruction to teach the expected standards of today’s competitive auditions. Each session will include music and dance instruction.

Music: The music portion of the workshop will include choosing appropriate audition music, and preparing professional quality vocal selections for your audition. Students will be coached vocally on selected material as well as guided toward other appropriate music for his or her voice. Students will also be instructed on how to prepare music suitable for an accompanist to play at an audition. Students will receive private coaching with a professional pianist and vocal coach.

Dance: The dance portion of the workshop will include learning practical dance steps that are used in all musical theatre auditions. You will learn how to correctly do a number of dance steps and be able to commit them to memory. We will focus on the technique and execution of numerous dance steps. In the last weeks we will focus on learning and retaining full dance combinations, spending time on performance quality and retaining combinations in a fast paced audition. The final 2 weeks will be a mock audition where each student will be critiqued on their personal audition by a panel of judges and receive feedback from their peers as well as the judges.

This exciting, new musical version of Charlotte's Web brings a new dimension to E.B. White's beloved classic. With music and lyrics by Charles Strouse (Annie, 'Bye, 'Bye Birdie) and book by Joseph Robinette (national award-winning children's playwright) your audiences will thrill to a musical score which includes "Eating," Wilbur the pig's humorous yet poignant song about growing up; "Who Says We Can't Be Friends," an enchanting duet between Wilbur and his new-found companion Charlotte; "Welcome to the Zuckerman Barn," featuring all the story's unforgettable animals in a hand-clapping, toe-tapping hoe-down; and "Summer," a haunting, nostalgic chorus number which evokes a time and place from everyone's childhood. This joyous musical offers your audiences a very special experience

MATCH GRANT: HUGE SUCCESS

MATCH GRANT 2011
Our MATCH GRANT 2010 was an OVERWHELMING SUCCESS---Thank you to all who participated.  With your help we were able to raise over $6200 in just 4 months.  With our match it became just over $11,200.  Our donor was so impressed with our success that he has agreed to MATCH up to $10,000 in 2011.  
This is an extraordinary opportunity to maximize our theatre’s potential to grow and reach new families. With your help, children can be introduced to a place where they can learn and grow, dive in to their creative abilities and bringing out the inner actor, painter, stage manager in those who want to participate. We cannot continue our record of success without the help from friends and supporters of the arts.
Over the past few years, New Day has been fortunate to have the support of many donors. Now we need your help to reach the goal of $10,000 to achieve this matching donation. There is no better investment than in the children of our community. New Day would not be a success without the support of our community and friends.  We appreciate everyone who believes in us and sees the value in a theatre program dedicated to our children.  Remember, there is no amount that is too little and all donations are tax deductible!  Click here to make a donation to NEW DAY:Donate
