Children's Characters Alice in Wonderland May 31-June 10, 2012 Directed by Brenda Parker It's our annual Summer Kid's Camp with an intensive one week workshop where students will have the unique learning opportunity to gain both on-stage and off-stage experience. The students will learn the audition, rehearsal and performance process, and have an unbelievably memorable time doing it. Kids have an unbounding imagination, and their desire to sing and dance and participate in the performing arts will make for a highlight of their summer. Seasoned LLT veteran performers and directors will lead classes this week in workshops that will enrich the kids' lives and will culminate with performances of Disney's musical version of Lewis Carroll's madcap adventure, Alice In Wonderland. It's full of all those great children's characters like the Mad Hatter, Twiddledum & Tweedledee, the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the mad Queen of Hearts and of course, Alice herself. The show features memorable Disney songs "I'm Late," "The Unbirthday Song," and "Zip-A-Dee-Do-Dah."
Director Brenda Parker will head up the camp that will be open to students from 1st grade through
college. Pre-registration is required since the camp will sell out in advance. To make sure you

THE ARABIAN GETS SOME TLC!!! 
New balcony window treatment gets installed on the front of the Arabian Theatre
The Arabian was originally built in 1927 behind a portion of the Pinehurst Hotel with a common wall
joining the two. Ever since the Pinehurst was demolished in 1988 and left us with a bare front wall,
we've dreamed of adding decorative features to our front exterior so the Arabian would look more like
the theatres that were built back in the 1920s.
A Super-Special Find!! Look at This NEWLY RECOVERED HISTORIC This stained glass piece originally hung in the Pinehurst Hotel to mark a secret side entrance into the Arabian Theatre. That entrance was closed sometime in the late 40s or early 50s, and the stained glass piece was saved by someone on the demolition crew that was tearing down the Pinehurst in 1988. His family recently uncovered it and we were able to eventually pick it up for our own collection. It was just unveiled to the public and is now hanging in the foyer of the Arabian, but will eventually be moved to the new "Pinehurst Room" addition we hope to build in the next couple of years. REMEMBER LLT IN YOUR GIFT GIVING
As a non-profit organization, LLT has always depended upon "the kindness of strangers". We've survived
and thrived for 51 years thanks to the great support of everyone in the community.
BACKSTAGE VOLUNTEERS We're always looking for folks that would like to help backstage on sets, props and costumes. Do you sew? Like to help slap some paint on a wall? Do a little hammering? Drop us a line. |
