MUSICAL THEATER WORKSHOPS FOR YOUNG PERFORMERS
Our Youth Musical Theater Workshops showcase student actors ages 8-18 and teach them to shine! Classes meet two days a week for instruction in musical-theater performance with the Barn's dedicated and talented staff of theatrical and educational professionals. Directed by Missy Slaymaker-Hanlon, the workshop culminates in student performances that are open to the public. We've had rave reviews from our young thespians who now refer to themselves as 'The Theater Barn Kids'.

ADULT WORKSHOPS
We are currently planning audition and acting workshops for our 2009-10 season. Led by professional actor and director, Jeremy Quinn, these workshops are just the 'ticket' to help you get ready for upcoming opportunities to audition or perfect your acting techniques. Check back for details coming soon!
On Wednesday evening, January 6th at 7:30, the Ridgefield Theater Barn will present, an evening devoted to Tennessee Williams, a continuation of our series of Playwrights Discussion Groups devoted to exploring the life and contributions of the great playwrights.
The 90-minute program begins with a brief biography of Tennessee Williams with an emphasis on the life experiences that are reflected in his work. Key attributes of his plays will be considered, followed by actors reading a short play that exemplifies those attributes. Upon completion of the reading, a moderator will guide the attendees and actors in an open discussion in which they are encouraged to share their feelings about the philosophy and methodology of the playwright as expressed in the presented work. Refreshments will be offered during the discussion and a bibliography will be provided for further reading. A donation of $5 per person is requested to cover materials and refreshments.
