The LORAX
The Lorax fable concerns the danger of greed causing human destruction of the natural environment. Using the story to encourage activism and involvement in making a situation better, this program has a big job (no pressure).
​
A quote from the Lorax states, "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not".
​
Come join this two-day program!
On Saturdays, we will be rehearsing the show. On Thursday night starting September 28 from 5:30 - 7 PM, we will be creating the set from the ground up!

SWEENEY TODD
The history...
The character of Sweeney Todd originated in serialized Victorian pop fiction, known as the Penny Dreadfuls (written by an unknown author). The story was called ‘The String of Pearls’ and was published in a weekly magazine during the winter of 1846–47.
Set in 1785, the story features as its principal villain a certain Sweeney Todd and includes all the plot elements known today. The murderous barber's story was turned into a play before the ending had even been revealed in the magazine. An expanded edition appeared in 1850, an American version in 1852, and a new play in 1865. By the 1870s, Sweeney Todd was a familiar character to most Victorians. And in the Fall of 2023, Ghost Light Theatre is bringing it to Beaumont!

THEATRE STYLES - OUR WAY
​
Anyone over 40 can come and have a laugh whilst learning some fantastic theatre skills.
For 12 weeks we start, covering a range of topics such as improvisation, mask, commedia dell’arte, text, movement, theatre games, character, poetry, clowning, dialogue and storytelling, acting for the camera, acting for film, pantomime, mime, and some crazy voice work. Each Thursday begins with a warm-up game using some combination of voice, gesture, and imagination.
We are very lucky to have the use of the beautiful upstairs at She’s Crafting right here in Beaumont as our working space.
Absolutely no experience is required!
One of the things we learn is the glory of ‘getting it wrong’, which is what clowning is all about, and acting through all the cool blunders of life on stage! Apart from being great fun our Barnstormer theatre work is brilliant for training us in spontaneity, collaboration, memory, creative confusion, flexibility, and generosity (how to let yourself off the hook and make your partner look good too!).
If not now then when?
It’s totally the art of being creatively present in the moment and thinking, or moving, or speaking gobbledegook as it unfolds. The joy of working as a group and stepping into our crazy creative selves and remembering once again how to PLAY!
Open to everyone 40+!
September 21 - December 7, 2023 - No Experience Necessary
Thursdays 10 AM -12:00 PM - Ages 40+
Session Cost: 200.00$
Final Performance Style - TBA
