Mirror, Mirror
On the Wall
Fairy tales may not have the magic of technology, but they do have magic! And through the wonders of the magic mirror, even fairy tales can come to life for the virtual stage! This is our first virtual theater production workshop. Classes by theater professionals, as well as online rehearsals will result in a dynamic and creative performance of this fractured fairy tale available for purchase and streaming.
The Evil Queen wishes to be fairest of them all. But when her Magic Mirror informs her that it is Snow White who is most fair, the queen is livid! When asked how to find the princess, her mirror mentions that Snow White has run away. The Evil Queen summons great magic in hopes of finding Snow White — she can now to look through all mirrors throughout the kingdom. But there’s a catch... the magic also allows everyone else’s mirrors to show them what they most wish to see.
This workshop, for youth aged 5 through 18, will all take place via Zoom. It begins Saturday, September 12, 2020, with auditions. All registered youth are guaranteed a place in the cast or crew. You will be contacted to schedule an audition time once your registration is confirmed. If your actor cannot attend on this date, please make arrangements in advance for a private audition. If your student is interested in a technical spot, we will have a very few spaces available. Technicians will be meeting in person, so should be local. Please contact us to see if there is space available.
Both the rehearsals and the performance will be online. Rehearsals for production workshops are scheduled with participants' schedules in mind. You will be asked for a list of date and time conflicts (for weeknights 5 to 7) after you register, and you can make changes to that list up to September 12, 2020. We ask that, once the schedule reflecting these blackout dates is completed, you and your cast/crew member commit to attendance at all scheduled rehearsals. Unexcused absences may mean the loss of a role. The only days which are absolutely mandatory are rehearsals during Tech Week, (November 9 through 12, 2020), and performances.
Eight virtual performances of Mirror, Mirror on the Wall will take place over two weekends through Zoom: November 13 through 22, 2020. (Fridays at 7:00 pm; Saturdays at 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm; and Sundays at 2:00 pm). To confirm your place, pay online or mail us a check. In the address line for your order, please give your child(ren)'s name. We will follow up on your registration by email.
