The Toowoomba Choral Society Inc. Youth Choir

presents

A HOLIDAY THEATRE ACTIVITY

 Dream On

by Malcolm Sircom

 

28 June to 2 July Principals only
5 to 10 July Chorus and Principals

Choral Hall
Corner Bridge and Raff Streets, Toowoomba

 Culminating in an evening performance on:


Saturday 10 July at 7 pm  
at the  
Empire Theatre
 


SYNOPSIS:
 Dream On is a brilliantly innovative treatment of Shakespeare’s favourite comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The music of Malcolm Sircom features Blues, Flamenco, a Conga, a fiery Latin American Tango and a Rock number appropriately called "Rock Bottom". 

These, together with beautiful lyrical songs, give the flavour. In a modern setting the script, while using some of Shakespeare's more accessible and beautiful passages, is fresh, invigorating, and funny. 

It has plenty of principal characters, and an essential chorus, which is active throughout so every member of the cast from youngest to oldest, has a vital role to play.  


The Production Team

Director:                        
John Penny

Musical Directors:                        
Sue Rutter, Anne Thomas, Elaine Coates

Choreographer:
Sheriden Duncan 

Training and direction will be carried out by this fine team with a wealth of experience in the area of teaching, performance and production, supported by the Production Committee and a large number of volunteers.


 Enrol early to secure your position…

Children between 8 and 18 years can be part of the daily activities,  
which run from 8.30 am to 3.30 pm.

 

Numbers for the Holiday Activity are limited so please register early to avoid disappointment.

  1. There will be a minimal ticket charge for family and friends for the performance.

  2. Every child must be fully committed to all the rehearsals and performance.

  3. Parents will be asked to provide packed lunches and snacks and may need to make some contribution to their child’s costume (this should be minimal).

  4. Commencement of the Holiday Theatre Activity is subject to receiving sufficient enrolments. 

The process rather than the final product is the emphasis of this activity.  Children will be able to enjoy a number of workshops and develop their skills in acting, music and dance.

The theatre activity will help to develop the City’s youth through an arts environment that is fun, creative and caring.

This is an excellent opportunity to be involved in an exciting week of training, rehearsing and performing. 

Discover your potential.

 Our aim is to make the Holiday Theatre Activity a place of training and discovery. During the two weeks of the Holiday Activity our team will focus on all the elements involved in producing a major theatrical performance. The Holiday Activity will culminate in a presentation of Dream On in the Empire Theatre. 

The Holiday Activity allows busy secondary school students to commit themselves to a production without the concern that it will interfere with their exams and other school commitments.
