SHORT FUSE THEATRE PROJECT: Rec Dept Multi-Purpose Room. Join us for a very special summer show!!
The Short Fuse Theatre Project: Whodunnit Edition - The Dreamwold Heist Mystery
The "Mystery Edition” is inspired by the real historical story of Scituate's own, Thomas Lawson!!
This 5 day intensive acting workshop involves mandatory rehearsals that introduce kids to the world of acting, storytelling, and problem-solving. Actors will engage in role-playing and script memorization, while working together to create and perform a mystery play in front of a live audience.
Set in 1904 here in Scituate the actors will be thrust into the extravagant world of Thomas Lawson. Each actor will be assigned a character that was a real person that Thomas Lawson knew (a family member, an employee, a neighbor, a friend or a business owner). The actors will be given details about the character in advance and will memorize lines for a play that they will help create!! We will be encouraging actors to raid their closets, for things they own or can borrow, to come up with their characters costumes. We have props and additional accessories to help bring the characters to life.
This program aims to foster creativity, teamwork, public speaking and communication skills while building scripts & blocking scenes in a playful and interactive setting, allowing children to explore their imagination while having fun.
