The Melon Patch Theatre welcomes Miss Caulene Hudson as our instructor for the Summer Patchwork Workshops. Caulene's impressive theater background and positive energy will delight youngsters interested in live theater.

REGISTER NOW! Registrations are now being accepted for our Summer Patchwork Workshops. Call (352) 787-3013 to learn more.

The Patchwork Productions Summer Programs are (2) two-week programs running June 11 – 22 and July 9 - 20. The classes meet every day from 9 - 12. The classes are open to grades 1 – 8. The goal of the workshops is to give the students a complete experience of the theater through role-playing, exercises and games. The students will also learn stage presence, public speaking skills and performance techniques. A short end-of-class demonstration of the principles learned through small group performances is expected on the last day of each workshop.

LIGHTS & SOUND TRAINING CLASS

Have you wanted to find a way to be involved in the shows at the Melon Patch that doesn't involve being on stage? Then this is the perfect opportunity for you! We will be holding a class for those looking to help with Lighting, Sound and Stage Operations. We are putting together a group of people who can be called on for lights, sound, sets, props and stage management. This training class will be focused on lights & sound and will be held on Thursday, May 31st at 6:30PM. Depending on the response, the class should last around 2 hours. No need to sign up ahead, just show up! Closed shoes, jeans and a t-shirt are recommended as we will be working in some dusty areas.

See you then!

Thanks,

Don Campbell
