K-4th Grade Winnie the Pooh KIDS!
This summer we will be splitting our K- 4 June program into two sessions. Each session will run for three full weeks, Monday-Friday from 9:00am to 4:00 pm and will conclude with 3 performances of their production. The students will work daily in our hybrid education and performance model that will hone their abilities through a deeper understanding of theatre arts. Also this year all of our Student Mentor Staff will work on each program as a whole artistic and teaching team, giving your students more attention and helping them grow in smaller class sizes.

5th-8th Grade THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE JR!
This summer Moorhead Community Education (MCE) has partnered with the Fargo-Moorhead Community Theatre to create a hybrid Education and Performance initiative for 5th - 8th grade students, which will deepen arts learning and appreciation through a four-week-long summer musical program. This will culminate in the performance of Thoroughly Modern Millie JR!
This new program will provide 75 students who have completed grades 5-8 to register in an open enrollment format, on a first come first served basis, to participate in the program. Program participation is not based on casting; the first 75 students interested in being a part of the program will be welcomed. Once registered, all students will go through the learning process of auditions, where they will be taught how to give their best audition and will then engage in the process of casting.
Once the show is cast, students will participate in a Monday – Friday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, four-week program that mixes theatre education and performance rehearsal together. This hybrid program will allow students to explore character research/writing, voice instruction, dance skills, theatre language, production time period/history, and understand social reactions and intentions classes.
During the rehearsal portions of the program, students will interact through rehearsal and ensemble building exercises. They will also block, choreograph, and sing the elements of their characters. The program will culminate in a performance of Thoroughly Modern Millie JR!
Special Programming – Masterclass with Broadway Actress Rachel Izen

Izen performed the role of Miss Flannery in the West End production of Millie and has directed and choreographed the show for Britain’s top 5th-12th grade students.

Izen will also showcase her talents in a premiere cabaret performance at The Stage at Island Park at 7:30 pm on June 19th.
