Dear Neighbor:

Expect great things from Westport Continuing Education. We do!! I am excited about the broad range of opportunities available for both children and adults. We have added some new fascinating enrichment programs. Our programs for children are staffed by Connecticut certified teachers and we have a registered nurse at each site. Our summer program will span three school sites: Saugatuck Elementary School, Bedford Middle School, and Staples High School.

Among our varied opportunities for children, we are excited to expand our FUNWORKS Package Plan! Parents may register their child for a combination of courses to make their child’s day diverse and dynamic. Small groups will be working with our teachers thus providing frequent opportunities for personal attention and customized learning. Breaks are integrated into the student’s schedules to enjoy their snack and socialize with friends.

The adult summer class selections have been expanded as well including new computer software classes. We are open Monday through Friday as well as

Monday and Wednesday evenings. Our goal is to have all of you excited while challenging every participant to be creative. Make a decision to try something new; relax and have fun with it. There is something for everyone!We spend our lives the way that we spend our days! While you are enjoying spring, take time to plan your summer. Now is the best time to try something new.

Please note: Audition only if you will accept any role assigned – the program must be paid in full before auditioning. Everyone who auditions will be cast in the play.

Westport Summer Teen Theater presents one of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows of all time -- “Little Shop of Horrors.” This affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has

become a household name thanks to a highly successful film version and a lively Motown rock ‘n’ roll score by the legendary songwriting team of Ashmen & Menkin. Charming, tuneful, and hilarious, “Little Shop of Horrors” is campy, tongue-in-cheek fun. We are planning 4 performances to allow us to doublecast all of the larger roles - maximizing performing opportunities for our campers. Performances are July 19, 20, 21 @ 7:00 pm and July 21 @ 2pm.Comedy Improv WorkshopWhile preparing for the “Little Shop,” all the campers will be honing their acting, singing, and improv skills under the guidance of our professional adult staff as well as an enthusiastic and talented group of counselors -- virtually all alumni of WSTTC. A special feature this summer is a week-long intensive Improv Workshop lead by professional Improvisation performer, Tony Republicano, culminating in a public performance of “Night of Comedy Improv”.

Auditions: June 13 Wednesday 4:00–7:00 pm BMS Auditorium

Willy Wonka, the Musical, presented by Staples Players

(Entering Gr. 9 through college)

Join Staples Players as they produce Willy Wonka, a new musical based on the popular book by Roald Dahl, and the classic Gene Wilder film. This musical includes favorites from the classic Gene Wilder film such as, “Pure Imagination” and “The Candy Man” with Music

and Lyrics by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse and adapted for the stage by Leslie Bricusse and Tim McDonald. This stage version has been expanded to include new songs featuring other central characters like the parents and children on the factory tour and features lots of broad over-the-top comedy. Participating in the Players summer program is a great way to get involved with a terrific high school theatre program and to work with the Staples Players directors, David Roth and Kerry Long. The schedule for this program is similar to a real production rehearsal schedule rather than “camp style” – that is, not everyone will be required each day, all day. Rehearsal schedules will be emailed at least 3 days in advance. AUDITIONING: Completing the registration process before the program reaches its maximum enrollment is the only requirement to ensure admission, however auditions will be held to determine which registrants will be asked to come back (call backed) to try out for lead and featured roles. Once registered, participants will be asked to sign up for an audition slot and be given all pertinent information regarding auditioning. Auditions will likely be on the afternoon/early evening of June 5 and 6, with call backs in early to mid-June – exact date TBA. It’s important to note that there will be no refunds once an audition time is booked so students should be willing to accept any role assigned before booking a time. Important audition info will be posted at staplesplayers.com.

Despite some overlap in timing, it will be possible to participate in both this program AND the Westport Summer Teen Theater Camp held at Bedford Middle School.

Rehearsals begin June 21st and performances will be the last weekend of July. Given the tight rehearsal schedule it will be difficult to allow participants to miss rehearsals for vacation during this time. Rehearsals are Monday - Friday from 1-4:30 pm. During the final week rehearsals will likely end later, perhaps running as late as 8:00 or 9:00 pm. Email questions to Rhonda Paul at [email protected]. All participants are invited to do tech work for Willy Wonka - times are to be determined. In addition, students with technical skills entering Gr. 9 through college are invited to participate in the tech program free of charge – contact Rhonda Paul at [email protected] if you are interested in registering for the tech program.
