Musical Theatre for Ages 3 to 6: STAGE-KINDER-KIDS!

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010

NOW ENROLLING* for “How Does Your Garden Groove?”

Children will have a fun filled time movin’ and groovin’ in Freddy and Franny Farmer’s vegetable garden. This is not your typical garden-variety musical as the french fried potatoes have “appeal”, leafy vegetables sing “Lettuce Entertain You” and the corn and peas beg “Please Don’t Put Us in a Can-Can!”

Our focus will be on the process: gaining self-confidence, learning theatre skills and making new friends. The class will culminate with a lively show on our very own NSAA stage. There will be costumes, props, scenery, singing and dancing just like on the “big stage”! Fun, fun and more fun!

Instructor: Debbie Knuth, NSAA Stagekids Community Coordinator and Director

Times/Dates: 1-1:45 pm, Thursdays 1/13, 1/20/ 1/27, 2/3, 2/10, 2/17, 2/24, 3/3, 3/10, 3/17, 3/24, 3/31 performance

Early Registration Fee: $100 Fee: $110

Program 213

*Enroll by Dec. 10 to receive a discount. Registration available ONLINE.

Stagekids Alumni Gets Hired to Act at Fireside Dinner Theater

Thursday, October 14th, 2010

12 year old Mequon resident and NSAA Stagekids Alumni, Mari Duckler, is rapidly becoming well known throughout SE Wisconsin as a highly skilled young actress. She recently landed a professional acting position at the Fireside Dinner Theater in Fort Atkinson, WI. Mari will be the lead supporting role, “Pepper” in the Fireside’s upcoming production of Annie. The Fireside Dinner Theater attracts national audiences as a professional theater each year.

Mari first came to NSAA as a 9 year old seeking private vocal instruction with vocal coach, Angela Mack. From there, she auditioned for the NSAA Stagekids Production of High School Musical and was surprisingly cast as the lead role of “Sharpay Evans”. She was also “Lily St. Regis” (Annie) and “Phineous Trout” (Willy Wonka) through NSAA Stagekids.

Since then, Mari has performed at Homestead High School Auditorium, Range Line Auditorium, Milwaukee Youth Arts Center, Marcus Center for the Performing Arts and has appeared in the film, “The Bully”.

Quite spectacular about Mari’s experience is that she was recently cast as the highly competitive and lead role “Junie B.” (Junie B. Jones and a Little Monkey Business) at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts.

Mari will also soon be performing as “Ady” in Miss Nelson is Missing at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. She is currently taking private tap/ballet at NSAA with Miss Kathleen Fictum so that she is a “triple threat” to the world of musical theater.

Mari dreams of performing on Broadway someday. At this rate, she just might! Keep your eye on this petite and spunky soprano belter!
