Clifton Performance Theatre Offers Classes, Productions and Birthday Parties – Oh, My!

Children’s Musical Workshops
Learn to perform an entire musical for your family and friends in just four weeks! Join friends and other area students ages 5-15 as you learn about what it takes to put on a staged production. From theater terminology to backstage tasks to acting, singing, and performing in front of an audience – this hands-on experience is a terrific opportunity to become educated about theater while having fun.

We have two new sessions starting immediately. They include:

• Sleepy Hollow (Written by James Crowley, music by Jeff Holmes) – When Schoolmaster Ichabod Crane arrives in the quiet little village of Sleepy Hollow, he finds that many of the Hollow’s residents view him as an odd creature who does not belong. But the ladies, including Katrina Van Tassel, soon notice that he possesses qualities that the local farm boys do not – among these…culture and refinement. And Ichabod notices Katrina as well; however, she already has a suitor…Brom Bones. Brom, however, holds secrets that are best never told. A wonderful, not-too-spooky way to let your creative side appear!

  Rehearsals: Mondays and Wednesdays, November 5-28, 6:00-7:30 p.m. (No rehearsal Wed., Nov. 21 due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Make-up class on Fri., Nov. 30, 6-7:30 pm.). Performances: Sat., Dec. 1 and Sun., Dec. 2, 3 p.m. Cost: $185

• A Christmas Carol (script adapted by Carol Brammer) – A classic and inspiring production for the holiday season! Full of humor, bah humbugs and some thought-provoking moments, so…
  Come one! Come all!…Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?…In the lane, snow is glistening…Scrooge in sight!…He’ll get such a fright!

  Rehearsals: Tuesdays and Thursdays, Nov. 6-Dec. 6, 6:00-7:30 p.m. Performances: Sat., Dec. 8 and Sun. Dec. 9 at 3 p.m. Cost: $185
