CCM Prep Offers Theatre Design and Tech Workshop Summer Camp

CCMPREP_logoA summer camp for Theater Techies!! What an awesome idea!!

Do you know a high school student who is fascinated by light boards, spotlights, sound boards, props, costumes and scenery and who now wants to know more so they can do more?

This summer the CCM Preparatory Department is offering high school students captivated by stagecraft a chance to take their knowledge and skills to the next level with the Theater Design and Tech Workshop, July 7- 19 at the College-Conservatory of Music. This full-day camp is a comprehensive hands-on program that will introduce students to all the production fields as well as how the design elements of a production are conceived, rendered and implemented. Students will take away practical knowledge they can use in their present high school and community theater endeavors and also explore whether this might be a career path for them to pursue. Either way, it will be two weeks of techie heaven!

For more information, download the attached flyer, check out our website at ccm.uc.edu/prep/immersion2014 or call Dennis Murphy at 513.556.2595.

In-person interviews are coming up on March 22 but you can also apply online before June 7th.

trueTHEATRE Seeks Stories for trueDATING

TRUE_logoTrue Theatre is looking for stories from your dating life for “trueDATING” (show date: Monday, April 14, 2014)

First date stories… blind date stories… the most romantic… the most cheesy… From the best to the worst, we all have stories about that date we were on that went from the unknown to a story from our lives. What’s yours?

True Theatre is producing trueDATING, which will run for one night only on Monday, April 14 at the Know Theatre in downtown Cincinnati. They are now making appointments with people to hear their true, personal, DATING-related stories for possible inclusion in the show.

Appointments will be for Saturday, March 15 or by arrangement.

If you have a story you would like True Theatre to consider for this show, reach out to them at truetheatre.com/contact.html or by writing stories@truetheatre.com. They will work with you to set an appointment and provide directions.

On the night of the show, stories will be expected to fit into a 10-15 minute time window and be told without notes. For the initial appointment, it is hoped, but not mandatory, that candidates can come close to these constraints. Unique approaches to the theme are welcome. Stories may be funny or serious. All stories are welcome for consideration!

Of the stories submitted, True Theatre will select five (5) for the show which fit the theme, have a good structure, and which balance nicely against the other stories selected.

If your story is selected for the show, you will be expected to work with True Theatre to find time to participate in 1 – 3 rehearsals (as needed) and then participate in the show.

More details about True Theatre’s selection process can be found at http://www.truetheatre.com/auditions.html.

Another show that True Theatre is producing this season (and for which they are looking for storytellers) is:

Monday, July 28, 2014 – trueBLOOD

[All shows are at 7:30PM]

If you have a story that you think fits the theme of DATING or BLOOD or just have one that you gotta share, reach out to TrueTheatre by the methods listed above.
