Cape May Stage, in cooperation with the New Jersey Theatre Alliance, announced programming for the 13th Annual Family Week at the Theatre and Stage Festival.
This annual statewide program, beginning March 4 and running throughout the month, offers free and discounted tickets to attendees, and was developed to encourage families to attend professional theatre together by making the experience affordable, educational, and exciting.
For those young people looking to take a more active role in storytelling, Cape May Stage will be offering a weekly acting course for teenagers ages 12-17. The class will be held every Thursday afternoon in March from 3:30-5:30 p.m.
The students will study essential acting techniques that focus on creating honest, believable, and fun performances. This includes physical movement and vocal techniques, improv acting, and monologue/scene work.
Advance registration for the course is encouraged but not required, but attendance for all four sessions is preferred and will allow students to get the most out of the program.
Classes will be held at the Robert Shackleton Playhouse on the corner of Bank and Lafayette streets in Cape May.
Visitors to senior recreation centers in Cape May County will be treated to a trip back in time, in the form of a live reading of the classic radio play, “Sorry, Wrong Number.”
The audience members will also have the opportunity to get a taste for acting themselves, through participation with the performers in several improvisational acting exercises.
This event will be held on March 8, 12:30 p.m. at the Lower Cape Senior Center in Villas; March 15, 1:30 p.m., Victorian Towers Complex in Cape May; and on March 22, 10:30 a.m., at the Upper Township Senior Center in Palermo. Call 609-884-1341 for details.
And lastly, on March 20, The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey’s touring production of “Shakespeare LIVE!: A Midsummer Night’s Dream” will be presented at 3 p.m. at the Robert Shackleton Playhouse.
This touring production offers a fresh take on this perennial audience favorite. A Midsummer Night’s Dream is the ideal “first Shakespeare” for elementary grades, and a riotous roller coaster ride for teens, teachers, and adults.
Tickets are free for children 18 and under, and $5 for adults.
