KIDS ON BROADWAY 2023

KIDS ON BROADWAY 2023

       Kids On Broadway is a very dynamic production that is specially designed for our younger performers. We select key scenes from Broadway's Best Musicals and weave them together to best highlight the skills and talents of the participants.


The KOB 2023 Camp is 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM,

Monday – Friday for the period of two weeks.


  • The Musical Theatre Production:                                                                                  

          A musical theatre production is produced from a script and a score. These productions feature actors, costumes, props and sets. The actors audition, get cast in a role, rehearse and then conduct a public performance.


          Musical theatre productions require a host of “behind-the-scene” staff including: producers, directors, musical directors, technical directors, choreographers, costume designers, costumers, stage managers, house managers, set designers, set foremen, lighting designers, sound technicians, stage hands, box office managers, box office workers, ushers and concessions workers.


  • The Audition:                                                                                                July 1, 2023 

          The audition is a sample performance of the actor. The directors use the audition process to determine the level & range of talent, expertise and suitability for casting roles in a particular show.


  • The Rehearsal:                                                                                      July 10-21, 2023

          The rehearsal process is a preparatory event in musical theatre that is performed before the official public performance, as a form of practice, and to ensure that all details of the performance are adequately prepared and coordinated for professional presentation.


  • The Performance:                                                                                July 21-23, 2023 

          The performance is the activity that exercises and displays the skills and talents of the performer within a troupe of other performers, which is typically performed for and opened to the public. The performance is the culminating event as a direct result of the production’s audition and rehearsal process.


  • Volunteerism:                                                                                                                     

          As we grow, we welcome newcomers into the fold of our musical theatre family. We encourage everyone to share his or her talents, skills and efforts. Not only is this is an excellent opportunity and experience for the participants and volunteers; it also builds and strengthens relationships. Further, we depend on a strong volunteer base to make it all happen.

P&P INFORMATION PACKET for "KOB 2023"

INTERACTIVE DINNER THEATRE

BETHLEHEM INN

SYNOPSIS:

          Bethlehem Inn is abuzz with excitement. The "No Vacancy" sign has been displayed for the first time in years, due to the census. The Innkeeper's family is not accustomed to having so many guests, and the stress upon the family becomes quite comical in the first scene.


          The family will serve the guests their different courses of dinner (as they stay in character), making the guests a part of the action. In addition to "The Family", servers made up from the volunteer base will provide the bulk of the patron food service.

The guests will "sow" into the evening's entertainment upon arrival as they conduct the business of ticket transaction. Each guest will receive a gold coin token that they deposit into the Innkeepers burlap cash bag upon entering the Inn.


          The CONFLICT begins when the Bag 0' Money disappears, not only making each patron a suspect but revealing the THEME of the show..."Where is your Treasure?" This begins the exposure of each major character's "Treasure" and their relationship to each other, which defines the PLOT.


          During this time family stress heightens as problems with the cook and other servants puts the Innkeeper in a most disagreeable mood. As the Innkeeper, almost heartlessly, denies Joseph & Mary, (who are never seen or heard) entry into the Inn, he is in conflict with himself and ultimately permits them the use of the stable.


          Sprinkled in and among the main plot, a PARALLEL PLOT develops with the three kings, aka, "The Wise Guys", that not only provide the COMEDY RELIEF but also converge with and redirect the MAIN PLOT to the manger, and hence, the MORAL of the STORY; "...for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also...". (Matthew 6:21)

"MUSICAL THEATRE LIVE AND LIVING"

“Seven Reasons Live Theatre is Best in Person”

By Matthew Calhoun


Although live theatre is no longer a quintessential mode of entertainment, it still has its merits. It offers us a unique experience where we get to come together as a community and see a live performance. If you’re still wondering whether live theatre is best experienced in person, here are seven reasons why you should go see your next play in a live setting.


1)  Every night is different

Live theatre lives and dies the night that it is performed. The show that played on Monday can be slightly different on Thursday. Why? Because it is all happening live. There are no redoes, no second chances. If a mistake is made, an actor must roll with it. If a prop is missing, a showrunner must improvise. The circumstances making it a live performance help the show be different from night to night. An audience can change the effectiveness of the play drastically. Moreover, actors can find new ways to express a character or more effective emotions for an audience. Unlike film, live theater requires that actors adapt on the fly because they never know what could go right or wrong. This makes a show authentic, even after multiple views. It’s one of many reasons live theatre can be better than movies.


2)  Real-time reactions

One of the best parts about live theatre is the ability of an actor to use the crowd’s energy. This can make an otherwise dull character truly come alive. When an audience and an actor get in sync, comedic timing and dramatic effect work very well to sell a scene. In the end, it’s just an actor standing on stage, but the emotion, laughter, and ambiance are palpable. Whether it’s Peter Pan or Waiting for Godot, an audience’s actions can make or break a play. 


3)  It’s a participatory event

Even though you’re not acting on stage, live theatre holds an incredible opportunity to make you part of the show. The actors get to feed off your energy and in turn, the show becomes better for it. Sometimes live theatre has intentionally interactive moments with the audience. This is why it is so important to go to live theater at least once. It’s an experience unlike any other that you can’t get in a movie theater. It feels as if a community is coming together under one roof.


4)  Practical effects

Unlike movies, live theatre can’t hide things with a green screen. Practical sets, props, and effects are built from scratch. There is no CGI to compensate for a character not existing in real life. If you’re a fan of practical effects then you need to see live theatre. More importantly, if you’re a fan of practical makeup artistry then you should definitely go see a show. People are always surprised when they seek makeup artists to flaunt their skills in a creative way. If you are looking for creative stagecraft, shows like The Lion King is revolutionary in set and stage design.


5)  Acting at its best

If you want to test your skills as an actor, you don’t go to Hollywood, you go to live theatre. Live theatre gives you only one take to get the emotion and scene structure correct. You don’t have multiple takes to work up your emotions as you do in a film. It’s one shot to get it correct or nothing at all. If you want to see some truly amazing performers who can consistently evoke emotion then look to live theatre.


6)  Innovation

Live theatre has been innovating since its inception. The stage has stayed the same, but incorporating technology has vastly improved the theatre-going experience. People are making stages move, having people disappear, and creating magic, all with simple tools. You don’t have to go see the biggest blockbuster to see something that makes you go “Wow!”


7)  It’s centuries-old

Live theatre spans back thousands of years. It has always been used as a tool to contemplate society and our role within it. Theatre has a lot to offer because of that personal touch and being in the moment with that story. By going to a night of theatre, you’re doing the same thing people did thousands of years ago. There is a lot of history connected to those stages. Why not be a part of that history?
