Auditions for new Production Workshop - August 28th
Experienced musical theater youth (18 and under) are invited to audition for KidCo's Production Workshop! This new class is geared for advanced students to develop their technique. The Workshop will be taught by HLOC's artistic director Carol Ryder and KidCo's Cindy Cress (Ruth from Pirates) and assisted by James Gadd (Frederic from Pirates), with guest workshops by local theater and dance artists. The Workshop will be held from 4-6 pm Wednesdays, September 15th - December 1st, with a performance on Friday, December 3rd at Redwood Curtain. Auditions are Saturday, August 28th from 10 am to noon at the Arcata Methodist Church (1761 11th Street). Students should bring a song to perform and sheet music for the pianist, wear comfortable clothes (for dance) and plan to remain for the whole period. Questions? Call Carol at 822-3319.
Registration for KidCo classes is now open... Sign up by September 1st to confirm your spot! We are offering a new class for advanced students 5-8 years old, and have increased the number of our sections to meet the growing demand. The regular KidCo session is September 11th - November 12th, with a term review show at the Eureka Women's Club (date tba). Read more about our classes...
Final Weekend for The Pirates of Penzance! - August 20th & 21st!
Gilbert & Sullivan's rousing and ridiculous spoof of Victorian England returns to the stage this summer! HLOC's production features soaring sopranos Fiona Ryder (Mabel), Katherine Kinley (Edith) and Amy Chalfant (Kate), the charm and noble sensibility of James Gadd (Frederic), the wit and ruth-lessness of Cindy Cress (the nurse), the fleet feet of Craig Benson (Sergeant), a mouthful of absolute nonsense by Ellsworth Pence (a very modern Major General)... and Bill Ryder, reprising his charismatic role as The Pirate King. Together with a choir of sixty singer-actors, an orchestra, an onstage ship with full mechanical movement and too many special effects to list, this is the show you won't want to miss!
