ARTS COUNCIL OF MOORE COUNTY presents SUMMER THEATRE CAMPS 2009 To accommodate the many school schedules and vacation plans, the Arts Council will present three opportunities to explore the magic of theatre during the summer, instead of one. Campers may attend as many camps as they like. The dates and preliminary information are as follows:
BROADWAY BLAST - June 15-28, 2009 A little over 100 years ago, the American Theater opened for business on 42nd Street in the heart of Manhattan. It was to be the first of many theaters in that part of town, the area which became known around the world as "Broadway." From the music of Tin Pan Alley to state-of-the-art contemporary Broadway, campers will experience the magic of an entire century of drama, laughter and beautiful music! Broadway Blast will run from 8:30 a.m-3:30 p.m., Monday-Friday at Terpsichore Dance Studio in downtown Southern Pines. Campers are asked to bring a bag lunch. All participants will present a revue performance of what they have learned on June 26, 27 and 28 at the Southern Pines Elementary School Auditorium.
DECADES AND LEGENDS - July 13-26, 2009 A Rock 'n Roll hit parade! Campers will learn the history of rock & roll through a progression of destinations throughout the United States. They will explore the cities, streets and neighborhoods where Rock 'n Roll was born and learn about the icons of Rock 'n Roll who got us where we are today. Decades and Legends will run from 12:30-5:30 p.m., Monday-Friday at Terpsichore Dance Studio in downtown Southern Pines. Campers are asked to bring a bag lunch. All participants will present a revue performance of what they have learned on July 24, 25, and 26 at the Sunrise Theater.
CINEMAGIC - August 3-16, 2009 The magic of the cinema is an irreplaceable part of our everyday culture and the music from these movies is as memorable as their stars. Campers will celebrate the silver screen and Hollywood's colorful musical history spanning eight decades of movie magic! All the memories, the romance and the adventure of the cinema will come alive! Cinemagic will run from 12:30-5:30 p.m., Monday-Friday at Terpsichore Dance Studio in downtown Southern Pines. Campers are asked to bring a bag lunch. All participants will present a revue performance of what they have learned on August 14, 15 and 16 at the Sunrise Theater.

What happens when a young boy plants magic beans in his own backyard? For Jack, it is the beginning of a great adventure. With a little help from Magic and a vegetarian Giant, Jack learns a valuable lesson about true happiness. This musical production also features a host of other characters, including the Magic Harp, Jill, Mother, Milky White, the Farmers, the Merchants, the Circus Performers and the Magic Beans. Jack and his friends invite you to join them on October 16 & 17 when many local children perform in this original musical adaptation of the classic tale, Jack and the Beanstalk.
Directed by the Missoula Children's Theatre, over 50 roles are available for students in grades K through 8. All those auditioning should arrive at 3:30 p.m. on Monday, October 12 at the Southern Pines Elementary School Auditorium and plan to stay for the full two hours. Some cast members will be asked to stay for a rehearsal immediately following the auditions. A complete rehearsal schedule for the week will be given out after the auditions.
All students in grades K through 8 are eligible and encouraged to audition and no advance preparation necessary, but a smile never hurts at an audition. Students should be ready to come and have a good time! Please remember that everyone must stay the entire two hours of the audition. Assistant Directors will also be cast to aid in rehearsals throughout the week and to take on essential backstage responsibilities. Although we cannot guarantee that everyone who auditions will be cast in the play, we can guarantee a lot of fun!
