“Bridge To Terabithia”

By Katherine Paterson

Aug. 26, 27, 28, 29*

This powerful adaptation focuses all of the humor, warmth and emotional intensity of Katherine Paterson’s children’ novel and is presented by Theatre Tillsonburg’s Teen Theatre group.

Jesse Aarons draws and dreams of becoming something special. Leslie Burke, the new girl from the city and the ultimate outsider, opens a world of imagination, art and literature for him when he needs it most. Together they create Terabithia, a fantasy kingdom where they are safe from those who don’t understand them. When tragedy strikes, the strength gained in Terabithia takes Jesse forward on his own and lets him share the magic of his dreams.

Theatre Tillsonburg is proud to announce three outstanding shows for our upcoming season.  Our 2010 / 2011 season will feature the award winning musical Cabaret, the hilarious comedy Funny Money and the acclaimed murder mystery I’ll Be back before Midnight.

Our 2010 Stagecraft Seminar Series is coming to an end with only one more seminar (two sessions) left for the calendar year.  These events have been a great success and have allowed us to teach song and dance technique, lighting and costumes thus far. .

We are now proud to host our final session… Create a World On The Stage (2 Sessions)

Learn how to design a set for any theatre group.

1^st Session: September 11, 2010 at 1pm. The first evening of this exciting seminar will be spent learning the basic needs in any design; discussion of the specific needs from a script and director; learning the ‘how to’ aspect of design, measuring the stage, checking out the various items the theatre has that you can incorporate into the design: flats, turntables, backdrops, etc.  Please bring paper, pencils, measuring tape, imagination. Instructor: Laurel Beechy

Participants will then have a month with script to use their imagination and design. This seminar will focus on designing the set to be featured in Theatre Tillsonburg’s spring production, I’ll Be Back Before Midnight. Advice and assistance will be given on an individual basis at this time.

2^nd Session: Oct 10, 2010 at 1pm. The seminar will continue as participants will go over the various designs and discuss their feasibility. (from session 1)  The best design or a conglomerate of ideas will be ‘cleaned up’ and presented for the directors choice.  Everyone will be able to participate in the execution of the design for the actual production. Instructor: Laurel Beechy
