Whole Backstage Children's Theatre March 30, 2009

For years the Whole Backstage Theatre has been the center of theatre arts in Marshall County. It’s always been a place where people of all ages could gather without judgments or criticisms. Developed by Ms. Dot Moore of Guntersville, the Whole Backstage started as a teen club and has morphed into one of the largest 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations in the area.

This year, on its 40th Anniversary, the Whole Backstage Theatre will celebrate by reviving an age old concept that children are where the future of the Whole Backstage resides. Beginning in January, under the Direction of Kelleybrooke Brown, the Whole Backstage Children’s Theatre will again open its doors.

The Whole Backstage Children’s Theatre is broken down into three sections. Classes will be offered on Monday nights from 6:30p.m. -7:30p.m. for children ages 12-16 and Tuesday nights from 6:30p.m.-7:15p.m. for children ages 7-11. Children ages 5-8 will meet on Thursday nights from 6:30 p.m. –7:15 p.m. Basic theatre techniques will be taught including script analysis, character development, and stage presence. Each semester will consist of 10 classes (weeks) and will conclude with a performance that includes each and every student. The cost is $45 per month per student with multi-children families being offered a tuition discount.

Registration is open and spaces are limited for the Spring Term which begins March 30, 2009. If you are interested in enrolling your child in this program, please contact the Whole Backstage at 256-582-SHOW (7469) or visit the theatre online at www.wholebackstage.com
