Performing Arts Workshop
In
this class, students will develop skills specifically related to the staging of
a musical production. Students will participate in
all
aspects of the production – singing, acting, dancing, set and costume
design, publicity and tickets. The
successful student will demonstrate ability in music and drama, and a
willingness to work on stage as well as behind the scenes.
Research papers on the history of musical theater are required.
Students must also view and review one live musical (professional or
amateur production) on their own. Evaluation
is based upon attendance, participation, tests, quizzes and research papers.
A few
things that we do before and after the musical are lip syncs.
This is our first group activity, and shows how well we can work
in groups, our dancing ability, and our ability to keep in time
with music. We do lip syncs from all sorts of musicals,
and we have to write a research paper on the background of the
musical. A few examples on what we have to write about are: the
history of the show, where it
was put on, any awards it received, and any actresses or actors
that performed in it.

Musical

Hollywood Hillbillies: The Musical
with a book by Tim Kelly and Music & lyrics by Scott Keys in
conjunction with Eldridge is the story of Gram Hawley and
granddaughter Cindy Lou who run the general store and post
office in Happy Hollow, somewhere deep in the Ozarks. Although
Cousins Bubba and Clem are pretty eccentric, not much happens in
Happy Hollow, until some big city folks descend makin' for a
real "Hollywood Hoedown." Among the visitors are distant
relations, Josephine and Charlotte from Hollywood who are
terrible snobs; a big-time movie producer who is going to make a
flick about "Life in the Hills," and a pair of crooks who
discover that "Granny's Got Gas".(under her property, that is,
and it's worth a fortune!). On top of it all, Cousin Bubba soon
takes quite a shine to one of Charlotte's snooty sorority
sisters ("Boyfriend from the Mountains"). And with the new
highway comin' through, the little town is gonna be blown off
the map ("Poor Happy Hollow")! This culture-clashin, kick-yer-shoes-off
musical will be a sure hit with songs that'll make you want to
stomp your feet. Y'all come! |
