CAST Summer Sessions


*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 08/26/2022
Each week CAST produces a show that is staged on Friday – Script-in-Hand. On Monday everyone auditions. We rehearse each day working on character development, blocking, use of props; we add sets, lighting, and sound. On Friday afternoon we perform it.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

June 27 to July 1
Frankenstein
Murder, Mayhem and the Macabre are the main ingredients of this new version. It catches the essence of Mary Shelley’s classic and builds to a climax with an unexpected twist.

On the surface, the ill-fated creature is to blame for the chain of grisly deaths, while Victor Frankenstein and Henry Clerval are old, dear friends. Victor Frankenstein is a man so deeply entangled with his scientific discoveries that he is blind to the manipulations of his best friend. Henry Clerval – a madman!

July 4 to 8 – No Session

July 11 to 15
Jack and the Giant
Jack has adventures on the ground meeting other fairy-tale characters before he climbs the Beanstalk and encounters the Giant.

RUMPELSTILTSKIN
Steamer No.10’s not quite traditional tale of a Miller’s daughter and a magical, maniacal, schizophrenic, wood gnome – Rumpelstiltskin.   
Steamer No.10 was once dubbed “The Mad Scientists of Children’s Theatre” for our production of Rumpelstiltskin.  It is an honor we have tried to live up to over the years.

July 18 to 22
Rumpelstiltskin – Act 1
The Miller’s Daughter must match wits with Rumpelstiltskin to save herself

July 25 to 29
Rumpelstiltskin – Act II
The Queen must discover Rumpelstiltskin’s name to save her son

Aug. 1 to 5
Sleeping Beauty
The tale of a young princess whose parent’s run afoul of a wicked fairy who puts a curse on the child that when she turns 16 she will prick her finger and sleep for a 100 years.

Aug. 8 to 12
Shakespeare and Stage Combat
We work on different aspects of combat, from physical brawls to sword fights, then add it to scenes from Shakespeare that use those skills.

Aug. 15 to 19
Puss in Boots
A traditional tale of a cat, who undertakes the task of remaking his master from peasant to Prince; and marries him to a beautiful Princess, all so Puss will have a pleasant place to live. But, the journey is where we find the fun and the job of turning a sow’s ear into a silk purse is a monumental one, even for a cat as talented as Puss.

Aug. 22 to 26
The Odyssey
The Odyssey is a story not only of Odysseus’ journey home from the Trojan War but of his son Telemachus’ path to find out who he truly is. As Odysseus encounters the one-eyed Cyclops, Telemachus struggles to keep their home safe from greedy suitors. As Odysseus battles raging seas and the sly Circe, Telemachus himself sets sail to find his father. And on their parallel journeys, Odysseus and Telemachus encounter monsters and seas so treacherous that they are challenged to their limits.
