Creating the Triple Threat!

About the Play

The Narrator is ready to start the show, but how is that supposed to happen when nobody else in the cast has read the script and the costumes haven’t even arrived yet? That’s the dilemma faced by eight hapless actors as they prepare to perform “The Greatest Fairy Tale Ever.” The greatest it isn’t. Not when the actor playing the knight struggles to read the script taped to the back of his shield, and the dragon gets a debilitating case of stage fright. To make matters (far!) worse, the Shakespearean actress is in the wrong play yet insists on staying and drawing out her death scene to absurd lengths, which leads the frustrated narrator to storm out before the play is finished. Can the cast come up with an ending that’s not only satisfying but also quick? Audiences will laugh heartily at how the cast comes up with an ending that’s absolutely ducky!

“We are such stuff as dreams are made on… “ This program invites serious acting students to sink their teeth into one of Shakespeare’s most well-known comedies as they bring an abridged one-act version of The Tempest to life. Students will decode the sometimes perplexing language of Shakespeare to find meaning, humor, and more behind the words. Students will delve into some of the Bard’s most famous scenes and characters, making connections with their own experiences as The Tempest takes WFT by storm!

About the show:
The Tempest, a story about family, treachery, and love, revolves around a father's magical manipulations that control his daughter's romantic fate and exact revenge upon his enemies. The lead figure, Prospero, uses magic to shipwreck his brother, Alonso, and Alonso's companions after they steal his position as Duke and leave him and his daughter, Miranda, to die. Much like its title, the play explores not only the stormy seas called forth by magic, but the whirlwind of emotions that rule Prospero's actions and those of his foes. In the end, calmer seas prevail.

“We are such stuff as dreams are made on… “ This program invites serious acting students to sink their teeth into one of Shakespeare’s most well-known comedies as they bring an abridged one-act version of The Tempest to life. Students will decode the sometimes perplexing language of Shakespeare to find meaning, humor, and more behind the words. Students will delve into some of the Bard’s most famous scenes and characters, making connections with their own experiences as The Tempest takes WFT by storm!

About the show:
The Tempest, a story about family, treachery, and love, revolves around a father's magical manipulations that control his daughter's romantic fate and exact revenge upon his enemies. The lead figure, Prospero, uses magic to shipwreck his brother, Alonso, and Alonso's companions after they steal his position as Duke and leave him and his daughter, Miranda, to die. Much like its title, the play explores not only the stormy seas called forth by magic, but the whirlwind of emotions that rule Prospero's actions and those of his foes. In the end, calmer seas prevail.

About the Play
An over-the-top, deliciously self-aware comedy paying homage to the old, sci-fi B movies. You’ll laugh until you cry when you realize that the fate of the earth is no laughing until you’re crying matter. It’s Attack! of the Killer Man from the Sun!
When potentially deadly solar flares threaten to potentially end all life on earth as we know it, it is up to Lou, his wife, her often-times forgetful sister Susan, a bunch of scientists, a park ranger, two aliens, a few members of The Military Government Industry Organization, two teenagers, Lou's long-lost twin brother, and The Creature to potentially save the day. Or is it? (It is.) As the conflict grows and the comedy becomes ever more ridiculous, even the narrator is swept up in the action as our heroes try to quite possibly save the day...and themselves???

Utilizing the musical theatre skills of acting, singing, and dancing, this two-week exploration of Musical Theatre is perfect for beginner and advanced musical theatre students alike

Rehearse and Perform a one-act play in just 2 weeks! In this program, students will develop and expand the tools in their actors’ toolbox as they dive into the given circumstances of a piece, develop believable characters, make strong choices, and collaborate with an ensemble of fellow actors to get to the heart of a piece.

About the Play
An over-the-top, deliciously self-aware comedy paying homage to the old, sci-fi B movies. You’ll laugh until you cry when you realize that the fate of the earth is no laughing until you’re crying matter. It’s Attack! of the Killer Man from the Sun!
When potentially deadly solar flares threaten to potentially end all life on earth as we know it, it is up to Lou, his wife, her often-times forgetful sister Susan, a bunch of scientists, a park ranger, two aliens, a few members of The Military Government Industry Organization, two teenagers, Lou's long-lost twin brother, and The Creature to potentially save the day. Or is it? (It is.) As the conflict grows and the comedy becomes ever more ridiculous, even the narrator is swept up in the action as our heroes try to quite possibly save the day...and themselves???

Auditions for roles within the production will take place during the first week of the program.

About the show:
Disney's Newsies JR. is a 60-minute version of the 2012 Broadway musical, based on the 1992 film. Inspired by the rousing true story of newsboys in turn-of-the-century New York City, Newsies JR. features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein. When powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the newsboys' expense, the charismatic Jack Kelly rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions. Together, the newsies learn that they are stronger united and create a movement to fight for what's right.

Bring a show to life from concept to execution. This program is a dynamic immersion in the theatre crafts that are vital to professional stage productions. This course balances theory with practical experience through the study of scenic, prop, costume, lighting, and sound design. Students will work with WFT’s professional technical staff during this three-week intensive, designing and building technical elements for the Musical Theatre Production of Disney’s Newsies, JR. Work will be shared at the final performances of each production.
