A PIRATE’S LIFE FOR ME: A MUSICAL
Ages: 12-18
Description: Aristocrat Roger Goodman has his heart set on a conventional life married to the wealthy Sarah Huffington and living happily ever after. That is, until he finds out she thinks he’s boring and would rather marry a brave and adventurous pirate! Determined to prove himself to his beloved, Roger hires Long John Sliver to tutor him and his newly recruited motley crew in the field of piracy. In exchange for his total pirate makeover, Roger and his crew sail to Treasure Island seeking the chests of gold doubloons Long John buried there. Meanwhile, Sarah knows there’s only one way to win the affections of a true pirate. She dubs herself the Pirate Queen and sets sail with her own crew of lady pirates. With messages in bottles that spread rumors, Captain Blood and the Pirate Queen learn of each other’s formidable reputations, not knowing, of course, each other’s true identity. When Sarah gets the message that Captain Blood is holding her parents captive on Treasure Island, you can guess where the lady pirates are headed next! Treasure Island is soon swimming with retired pirates, lady pirates and other pirate wannabes, including one character who thinks he’s a parrot. It’s not a pirate convention; it’s a game of hide-and-seek!
JACK AND THE BEANSTALK
Ages: 8-12
Description: This entertaining version of Jack and the Beanstalk returns to the original English source, The History of Jack and the Enchanted Beans. All the familiar characters are here: The dancing cow, the magic bean-seller, the hysterical chicken, the singing harp and the Giant. The Giant is a horrible person. He even locks up the kingdom’s ruler. When Jack sells the cow for those magic beans the fun really begins. Jack goes up the beanstalk and into the castle where he fights the Giant. In the end the cow is returned, the chicken learns how to lay golden eggs and the good life returns to the kingdom — thanks to Jack.

BULLY GOATS GRIFF
A Touring Performance
Ages: 8-18
Description: With a tweak and a twist, the children’s tale of the Billy Goats Gruff has become the perfect tool to teach elementary audiences about bullying. The two toll trolls who are bickering on a bridge have a “falling out” after Billy, the smallest of the three goats, decides to become a “bully goat.” As if paying a toll to get across the bridge wasn’t bad enough, now anyone who dares to trip-trap over the bridge gets knocked off by Billy. At first it seems funny, but the unfairness of Billy’s bullying becomes apparent when victims keep getting pushed off the bridge. In the end, a gang of mis-matched victims pull together to teach Billy a lesson. Children of all ages will love the silly characters and non-stop action in this show. Beyond the silliness, an important lesson is learned.
School Performances: This is a “travelling” show that will visit several different schools with their production. Students and Parents will be advised of specific dates when they become available in January. Tentatively, Performances will be held the Last Week of April- The Second Week in May.
Dance Classes:

LINDY-HOP AND JITTERBUG FOR AGES 12-18
Ages: 12-18
Description: Come and learn the dance that’s been all the rage since the 1930’s. These dances will be handy for the stage, as well as just going out dancing on the town. Discover how they blend together and go hand in hand when it comes to learning the steps. Knowing how to dance the Lindy Hop & Jitterbug will be great for prom, homecoming, or going out.
PRE BALLET SAMPLER SESSION AT MOUNTAIN PHOENIX
Description: Budding ballerinas will love this fun and engaging class designed to develop balance, coordination, and musicality through a variety of fun games and elementary ballet exercises. Dancers share their new skills at an informal parent-share performance at the last class of each session.
Community Classes:
I NEVER SAW ANOTHER BUTTERFLY
Audition Only
Ages: All Ages
Description: Over 15,000 Jewish children passed through Terezin, and only about a hundred were still alive when Terezin was liberated at the end of the war. One of the survivors, Raja, having lived through it all, teaching the children when there was nothing to teach with, helping to give them hope when there was little enough reason for hope, creating a little world of laughter, of flowers and butterflies behind the barbed wire, tells the true story of the children. It’s her play and it’s theirs. There were no butterflies at Terezin, of course, but for the children, butterflies became a symbol of defiance, making it possible for them to live on and play happily while waiting to be transported.

OUTREACH
Shakespeare & Anti-Bullying
http://www.coloradoshakes.org/education-outreach/shakespeare-in-the-schools
|
At the conclusion of Twelfth Night, Malvolio, who has been mocked and tormented by his peers, announces: "I'll be revenged on the whole pack of you." What does this moment tell us about the cycle of violence within the play? How can Malvolio's story help student audiences see the patterns of bullying that exist in their own lives?
CSF in the Schools is proud to partner with the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence at CU Boulder. After the performance of Twelfth Night at your school, students participate in classroom workshops that focus on bullying. Through an exploration of the character Malvolio's story, CSF actors will guide workshop participants in hands-on activities that encourage students to enact alternatives to bullying. The workshops and study guides incorporate the latest research on effective anti-bullying practices from the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence. This CSF in the Schools program will use Shakespeare as a tool for understanding an issue that is relevant to students of all ages.

Summer Camp Classes
Staging Stories – (K-1st grade)
This mini-camp brings a different children’s story to life every day and turns it into a play – right before the young thespian’s eye. Students use their imaginations to create characters and tell stories, while learning basic acting skills. This camp supports creative development and encourages teamwork. Published author, Jon Jon Lannen (“The Giraffe That Taught Me How to Laugh”), joins students one day of camp to perform a special reading of his book and engage in talkback.
Cost: $85.00/session
Teacher: Sara Milbrath
Guest Teacher: Jon Jon Lannen
Session Date: July 9-13
10:00am-12:00 noon
Session Date: July 30-August 3
10:00am-12:00 noon
High School Camp – (9th-12th grade)
This camp is ideal for students passionate about theatre. It caters to the student looking to add to an existing skill set or wanting to explore theatre for the first time. Students are exposed to Shakespeare, Improv, stage combat, stage movement, vocal production, laban efforts, dialects, acting for the camera and more. Special guest, Sue Knudten, offers a unique opportunity for campers – she is teaching a one day workshop on acting for the camera and voice-over work. Another added bonus – students leave camp with auditioning skills, as well as a monologue suitable for high school, college and professional auditions. This advice provides direction for a potential college search and includes information regarding theatre programs in Colorado and across the country. You don’t have to be looking to make acting your major to enjoy this course – but if you are – this camp can give you an exciting head start.
Cost: $250.00

Improvisation Camp – (6th-8th and 9th-12th grade)
This camp exposes students to different forms of improvisation, with a focus on short form. Improv is a wonderful tool for the dramatic actor, as well as a great form of theatre for those interested in comedy. Students also receive a specialized lesson in long form improvisation. They learn to build characters and create relationships and conflict, all from the organic eye of the actor. The skills learned in this camp are showcased in a full-length (90 minute) show for friends and family. This camp is a lot of fun and gives students valuable tools to perform both on stage and off. One day of camp, a special guest speaker introduces campers to the world of stand-up comedy, including pointers and how to get started.
Cost: $125.00/session
Teacher: Sara Milbrath
Guest Teachers: Mara Wiles, Brian McManus

This unique camp takes creativity to the next level. Students are given the opportunity to imagine, write and perform a “fractured fairy tale.” Students choose to either combine two fairy tales together, or set an existing tale in another place. Using improvisation, vocal production, stage movement and acting exercises, they learn to develop a well rounded character who graces the stage in a final performance the last hour of class. Will Snow White meet Sleeping Beauty, or will Alice visit Mall Land? Find out in this wildly imaginative camp facilitating creativity, confidence and fun.
