e m o c el er w m m u s to 7 1 20 I began working at SCT as an actor in 1985, soon after moving to Seattle. We were at the Woodland Park Zoo then, in a much smaller space, but it held just as much magic. Thirty-two years later, I am still so grateful to be at SCT (next to the Space Needle now), grateful to have found a place with people of such idealism, kindness and empathy, energy and skill. I am grateful to all of our wonderful teaching artists, to the outstanding education staff and, of course, to all of the young people and families who have, like me, found in SCT a place to love, learn and grow.

In Story Drama, we go beyond reenactment to create new characters and dramatic situations in which we work together to overcome all sorts of dramatic challenges. Along the way, we use theatrical elements including costumes, music, art, and props to engage all of our senses. SCT teaching artists collaborate to develop a detailed curriculum for every book that we select for Story Drama. FAMILY STORY DRAMA AT SEATTLE CHILDREN’S MUSEUM Ages 3½-4½ This special section of Story Drama takes place at our next-door-neighbor, Seattle Children’s Museum, before the exhibits are open to the public. A parent or guardian will accompany each child as we read the book in the beautiful, castle-like Storytelling Circle and use some of the great props and settings in the museum during our dramatic adventures. This is a chance not only to have great adventures, but for families to learn more about story drama together. MAGIC DOORWAY TREASURE TRUNK THEATRE Half-Day Program Ages 4-5 Our treasure trunk provides a dramatic focus for each class, concealing something mysterious and exciting. We open the trunk to discover the spark that inspires that day’s interactive adventure. The adventures build into a week-long story that we create as we act it out. Students learn how to band together as an ensemble and use their voices, bodies and imaginations to overcome a myriad of dramatic challenges. Half-Day Program Ages 4-5 Full-Day Program Grades 1-2, 2-3 Clues to solving a mystery await us on the other side of the door. Each day we work together and discover new ways of using our voices, bodies and minds. Then we step through the doorway to explore a fantastical place where we collect clues provided by colorful and mysterious characters that we create. At the end of each class, we cross back through the doorway, piece together our clues and take one more step toward solving our week-long mystery. We provide the flexible framework for a week-long adventure. Each morning, the class creates characters and a detailed dramatic environment for the story we develop and act out. In the afternoon, a specialist works on specific skills to support that ongoing story. THEATRE ARTS SPLASH Half-Day Program Ages 4-8 Students in Theatre Arts Splash rotate between three different classes every day, each with its own instructor. In Creative Drama, we create and act out a story that continues throughout the week, reaching a dramatic conclusion on the last day of class. In Movement, students develop both individual and ensemble motor skills. In Visual Art, they create their own works of art using a variety of media. We divide all sessions into three age-appropriate groups. Each group of students has a counselor who guides them through the day. We have four Drama Quest themes to choose from: DRAGON TRAINERS: Fly to great heights on our quest to befriend these fiery creatures of the sky. We become an elite troupe of skilled trainers determined to change the reputation of our fierce friends. A puppet specialist helps us bring our dragons to life. TREASURE HUNTERS: Span the globe in our actionpacked search for ancient riches and buried treasures. Our adventures lead us on wild scavenger hunts beyond the walls of our classroom. Along the way we create maps and discover clues in our race for the prize. A specialist in the visual arts helps us enhance our quest. FORGOTTEN FAIRY TALES: Escape into a world of mischief and magic. Band together to save beloved stories and characters from fading from memory forever. Each day a classic fairy tale inspires us as we create our own epic enchanted story. A storytelling specialist helps us delve deeper into the twists and turns of great tales. All three Theatre Arts Splash classes—Creative Drama, Movement and Visual Art—focus on a common theme throughout the week and on a different aspect of that theme each day. This summer’s Splash themes are: CIRCUS SLEUTHS: Come one! Come all! The circus needs our team of sneaky sleuths to uncover the hidden mysteries that await us under the big top. A movement specialist helps us create the many characters that fill our zany adventure. RAINFOREST: The lush environment of the rainforest serves as the backdrop for our creative adventures. We use our bodies, voices and imaginations to meet and become many creatures as we explore the forest. EXTENDED CARE OPPOSITES: Each day a different set of opposites helps us discover how contrasting concepts provide a fun framework to explore using our bodies, voices and imaginations. 3 DRAMA QUEST We offer morning and afternoon extended care. See page 29 for more information. If you see this symbol next to your class, you will receive a 2017 SCT Drama School T-shirt to wear during class. At the end of the week, this T-shirt will be yours to keep. 4 ACTING Actors who have had training and experience may audition to be placed in higher level classes. See pages 15-20 for our schedule of classes, and pages 25-26 for audition information. GRADES 3-12 GRADES 3-12 ACTING ACTING 2 SCT Drama School’s Acting teaches fundamentals that every actor needs. Theatre games and exercises will stretch your voice, body and mind. Open scenes and improvisation enable you to embody a character, identify obstacles and work to achieve an objective through a variety of tactics. Acting focuses on key physical, vocal and improvisational skills. In Acting 2, we combine Acting skills with script work to create exciting characters and engaging scenes. We will focus on group scenes and monologues while discovering the clues in scripts that help you find the objectives of the characters, the tactics they use and obstacles they overcome. Each student will rehearse, memorize and present at least one scene to share on the last day of class. Students must have taken two sessions of Acting or pass an audition before moving on to Acting 2. Students must have taken two sessions of Acting or pass an audition to take Acting 2. Half-Day Program Grades 3-5, 4-6, 6-10, 7-12 Full-Day Program Grades 4-6, 7-12 ACTING CAMP ACTING 3 In addition to our Acting curriculum, Acting Camps also feature an Improvisation, Physical Comedy or Shakespeare class. In Acting 3, you will tackle three essential aspects of dramatic performance: the monologue, period material and verse. Monologues require the actor to create theatre without scene partners, using the voice and body to respond to circumstances that exist only in the imagination. Period scenes require actors to learn new vocabulary and to breathe life into eras and styles different from our own. Acting in verse requires advanced vocal technique and helps the actor develop an ear for finding the sense of a scene from the sound of its words. Each student will rehearse and memorize verse material, period material and at least one monologue to share with family and friends on the last day of class. Full-Day Program Grades 3-5, 4-6 Pairing options: You can pair any half-day elective with an Acting class to create a full-day program. We provide free supervision during the break. ELECTIVES Full-Day Program Grades 7-12 ACTING FOR THE CAMERA Half-Day Program Grades 4-6, 7-12 Acting in front of a camera requires special techniques. Learn how to relate to a camera as though you are facing your goal, your enemy or a distant horizon. Learn how to act out of sequence, to act one line at a time, to maintain concentration amid the distractions of a film set and to stay within the tight movement parameters that acting for a camera often requires. We help you achieve the honesty and relaxation that produces the best on-camera acting. CREATING CHARACTER Half-Day Program Grades 6-10 In this class you create dramatic characters. You explore the world the character lives in, as well as that character’s inner life, thoughts, feelings, hopes and fears. You also learn how to translate this work into how the character speaks, moves, and relates to the world and others. Each student works with a variety of characters taken from life and plays. SHAKESPEARE Half-Day Program Grades 3-5, 4-6, 6-10, 7-12 Shakespeare presents challenges to both beginning and experienced actors; he is also a great acting teacher. He wrote not to be read, but to be spoken and heard. In this class we work towards actively embodying his words with movement and voice. This training stretches us as actors and leads to a deeper understanding of all drama. Students must have taken two sessions of Acting 2 or pass an audition to take Acting 3. 5 6 ELECTIVES GRADES 3-12 GRADES 3-12 MUSICAL THEATRE IMPROV COMEDY TROUPE Full-Day Program Grades 3-5 Half-Day Program Grades 3-5, 4-6, 6-10, 7-12 We build stories without scripts or rehearsal, creating them at the same time that we act them out, using a wide variety of improv games and formats.

Most important, YAI continues to provide dynamic and challenging training that meets the needs of young actors seeking deep experiences with the art form. This is training that nourishes the artist and the community. The faculty of YAI continues to develop ways of engaging the students with diverse and cutting-edge material as well as building foundations in classical traditions. YAI’s focus on advanced movement techniques and powerful classic and contemporary texts stretches the imagination and connects the students beyond each year’s class to a community of the best and brightest young theatre artists. We provide a comprehensive program of intensive classes in a wide variety of theatre performing arts. YAI students train in theatre for six weeks, five days a week, eight hours a day. YAI culminates in a training showcase when we invite friends and family into the studios to observe scene work, movement exercises, dance choreography, singing, stage combat and improv. “If you want to learn and grow as an actor, DO IT! It’s a lot of work, but it’s all worth it because it will change your life. It is an amazing opportunity and booking that audition could end up being one of the best choices you make.” – Lindsay Carter, ’16 YAI Graduate “One of the most incredible life experiences I have ever had. The best six weeks of my life” - Kat Rodriguez, ’16 YAI Graduate “YAI empowers young people to create art with intention. At the end of the summer you leave with confidence, support and mentorship.” – Megan Ruppel, ‘16 YAI Graduate FACULTY YAI’s teaching artists include some of the best artists and educators in the region. The program is led by Michael Place, graduate of Yale School of Drama, who has had an active career as an actor and movement coach in New York City, and Alban Dennis, one of SCT’s most beloved actors, who has become one of Seattle’s most influential leaders and educators in young adult theatre. We also invite guest speakers to share their experiences with YAI students, including YAI graduates working in theatre and SCT Artistic Director Courtney Sale.

Apocalyptics predict that it will strike, causing total annihilation; while most scientists speculate it will be a near-miss and Earthlings will behold history’s most aweinspiring celestial event. Either way, Mario is prepared. With a chorus of rubber ducks and soaring songs about the theory of relativity, Mario and the Comet is a musical adventure-comedy about how loss can be like an earthshattering comet; but when faced together as a family, it can become a thing of beauty and a celebration of life and love. THE TEMPEST By William Shakespeare Adapted by Don Fleming Directed by Keni Cohen A magical storm and a shipwreck on a mysterious island lead us into the story of Prospero the sorcerer, his daughter Miranda, Caliban the monster, Ariel the spirit and the noble castaways who struggle against Prospero’s magic. A great story that features some of Shakespeare’s most compelling characters and beautiful language. TWELFTH NIGHT, OR WHAT YOU WILL By William Shakespeare Adapted by Don Fleming Directed by Don Fleming Another shipwreck separates Viola from her identical twin brother Sebastian and leads us into a crazy comedy that is also a deeply moving story of madness and love lost and found. Twelfth Night has a host of great characters, including the wise fool Feste, the brilliant and resourceful Viola, the beautiful and proud Olivia and the comic zanies Maria, Malvolio, Toby Belch, and Sir Andrew Aguecheek. Like The Tempest, Twelfth Night is one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays, featuring a great story, great characters and beautiful verse. MADAGASCAR – A MUSICAL ADVENTURE JR. Book by Kevin Del Aguila Music and Lyrics by George Noriega and Joel Someillan Directed by Hattie Andres Join Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the Hippo and, of course, those hilarious, plotting penguins as they bound onto our stage. Based on the smash DreamWorks animated motion picture, Madagascar – A Musical Adventure follows all of your favorite crack-a-lackin’ friends as they escape from their home in New York’s Central Park Zoo and find themselves on an unexpected journey to the madcap world of King Julien’s Madagascar. RAGTIME DEAR STUDENT ACTORS AND FAMILIES, I am so grateful to SCT’s Artistic Director Courtney Sale, not only for working with me to select these shows, but also for agreeing to direct one herself. She will be taking on the moving new musical Mario and the Comet, and I am so pleased that some of our Drama School students will have the chance to work with such a generous spirit and extraordinary talent. I really love every script in this lineup. I think they provide amazing opportunities and challenges for young actors, and I cannot wait to see you all at auditions – we are going to create some great theatre together! Don Fleming SCT Education Director MARIO AND THE COMET for actors in 5th grade and up THE TEMPEST for actors in 4th grade and up TWELFTH NIGHT for actors in 7th grade and up MADAGASCAR A Musical Adventure JR. for actors in 4th grade and up SCHOOL EDITION Music by Stephen Flaherty Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens Book by Terrence McNally Directed by Matt Giles At the dawn of a new century, everything is changing and anything is possible. Ragtime weaves together the stories of a daring young African-American musician, a stifled upper-class wife, and a determined Jewish immigrant, all united by their courage, compassion and belief in the promise of the future. Together they confront the conflicts between wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, as they discover what it means to live in America. 23 RAGTIME School Edition for actors in 8th grade and up STUDIO REHEARSALS JUNE 26 - JULY 14 Monday - Friday 1:00 - 4:30PM TECH WEEK REHEARSALS JULY 17 - 20 Monday - Thursday 9:00AM - 4:00PM PERFORMANCES JULY 20 - 22 Thursday - Saturday 7:00PM STUDIO REHEARSALS JULY 5 - 21 Monday - Friday 6:00 - 9:00PM TECH WEEK REHEARSALS JULY 24 - 27 Monday - Thursday 9:00AM - 12:30PM PERFORMANCES JULY 27 - 29 Thursday - Saturday 7:00PM STUDIO REHEARSALS JULY 5 - 21 Monday - Friday 6:00 - 9:30PM TECH WEEK REHEARSALS JULY 24 - 27 Monday - Thursday 1:00 - 4:30PM PERFORMANCES JULY 27 - 29 Thursday - Saturday 8:15PM STUDIO REHEARSALS JULY 10 - 28 Monday - Friday 4:00 - 7:30PM TECH WEEK REHEARSALS JULY 31 - AUGUST 3 Monday - Thursday 9:00AM - 4:30PM PERFORMANCES Thursday, AUGUST 3 Friday, AUGUST 4 Saturday, AUGUST 5 STUDIO REHEARSALS JULY 10 - AUGUST 4 Monday - Friday 6:00PM - 9:30PM TECH WEEK REHEARSALS AUGUST 7 - 11 Monday - Friday 1:00PM - 9:30PM PERFORMANCES AUGUST 11 - 13 Friday - Sunday 7:00PM 7:00PM 7:00PM 12:00PM GRADE GUIDELINES ARE APPROXIMATE • NO REHEARSALS ON JULY 3 or 4 • TUITION $615 • FINANCIAL AID IS AVAILABLE Pairing student shows with Drama School classes are an excellent way to deepen the student show experience.
