YRCC Thespians- Acting/Singing Opportunity in Newmarket

 YRCC friends, 

I know some of you are not only singers but also actors. If you are available on Sunday, December 17th in the morning (10:30) and then again in the evening (7:00), there is a good opportunity for you to use your talents. If you haven't done any theatre, this is a super opportunity to learn from an amazing educator and artist.

Trinity on Main, the United Church in Newmarket, is lucky to have Mary Lawlis running the Trinity Arts program again. Mary creates the most wonderful musical theatre productions and I will be helping with the music for this Community Christmas Pageant. It's a beautiful story, and music will be a big part of it. Plus, the play will be incorporated into a Sunday morning church service and an evening candle-light service of Christmas carols. 

Interested actors, musicians, and production team members are invited to attend an information meeting in the sanctuary of the church at 461 Park Avenue (corner of Park and Main) in Newmarket either this Wednesday evening at 7:00 (tomorrow) or on Sunday, Nov. 5th at 11:30 am (after church) for about an hour. Rehearsals will be Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons for 1 1/2 hours. 

The production is intergenerational.  Children under 8 accompanied by a parent/guardian, and anyone 8 years old or more, including families, youth, adults, and seniors from the community are invited to participate. There are many roles in a production like this, including stage crew, artists, musicians, actors with and without lines, and more. It would be great to have some experienced folks come, but if you're not, then this is a good chance to learn from a very experienced educator to gain experience.

Please use Music Director Kevin Heung's email kevin@trinityuc.ca to contact either Kevin or Mary Lawlis if you want more information, but coming to either of these two meetings is recommended.
