The Spring Children’s Workshop Presents Super Potato
April 6, 2011
Omro Area children take to the stage!
The Rebel Alliance Theatre Spring Children’s Workshop presents Super Potato. A hilarious family comedy by Rebel’s resident playwright Marty Duhatschek.
Children’s performances: April 14, 15, and 16 at 7pm.
Rebel Core Actor performances: April 28, 29, and 30 at 7pm.
Where: Rebel Alliance Theatre and Omro’s Center for the Arts 404 S. Webster St, Omro.
This spring twelve area children, aged 8 to 12, will have the opportunity to experience the magic of live theatre as participants in the Rebel Alliance Theatre Children’s Workshop. The kids will work with experienced Rebel actors and staff to learn about memorizing lines, moving across the stage, listening and reacting to other actors, improvisation, and the technical aspects of live theatre. Each child will be assigned an older mentor who will work with them as they learn their lines and develop their characters.
The Children’s Workshop will culminate in three performances of Super Potato, a show which has long been a favorite of Rebel Audiences. Super Potato, by Marty Duhatschek, is the story of Jamie, a young girl obsessed with television, and her video game-playing babysittery Terri. Through the intervention of Lloyd the Bovine, one of the famous Rebel Cows, Jamie and Teri are taken on a magical tour of the FTRC (Fairy Tale Recycling Center). Here they encounter a series of familiar fairy tale characters, who help them to discover the wonderful world of imagination that waits for those who are willing to put down the game controller and turn off the TV.
Attend either weekend of Super Potato (or both) for a rollicking evening of family fun!
All performances of Super Potato will begin at 7pm (doors open at 6:30pm). Tickets are $5 for children 12 and under. Adult tickets are offered on a sliding scale for either $8 or $15. Reservations are strongly encouraged as seating is limited.
