Little Theatre Summer Performance of CASH ON DELIVERY

    The Little Theatre is pleased to announce the opening of its Summer 2010 Show, ?Cash On Delivery?, on July 30, 2010. ‘Cash’ is a British farce by Michael Cooney, and is directed by Patti Earl. - Photos By Sandi Carroll (www.SandiCarroll.net)

     This fast paced yarn for the live stage concerns Eric, a self-styled con artist, who lost his job two years ago, and is hiding the fact that he has been defrauding the welfare authorities with every possible trick while  collecting thousands in welfare payments. One day Jenkins, a government employee, comes by to check up on how all these benefits can be paid to the same address. And then other government employees begin to show up.
    Eric creates stories for his wife, the government workers and enlists help from his upstairs lodger, Norman, and his Uncle George to participate in his deceptions. There is a scene stealing cross dresser, a dead body, and mistaken identities? all the ingredients to guarantee one side splitting scene after another. But don’t get any ideas to try out yourself. Nabbed in the end, Eric confesses, and instead of jail time, he finds a job working for the government, because he knows all the tricks!
    Reserved seating is available at the Little Theatre Box Office at 386-423-1246. Adults are $14. Seniors are $13 and Students under 18 are $7. The Box Office is open week-days from 1 until 4 p.m. and 2 hours prior to each performance. The show will be playing July 30, 31, August 1, 6, 7 and 8.

SUMMER CAMP AT THE LITTLE THEATRE - New Smyrna Beach

   This year Summer Camp was at WonderLand Theatre for 32 young thespians. There were two camps for the young actors, depending on their ages. Camp One was a two-week camp for ages 7-12. Camp Two was for one week for ages 4-6.
    Attendees in Camp One rehearsed for their on-stage performance of “GOONEY BIRD GREENE AND HER TRUE LIFE ADVENTURES” where the summer had come to a crashing halt in the little town of Watertower. The kids didn’t want to be back in school - they were listless and bored. Suddenly, the classroom door flew open and there stood the pig-tailed Gooney Bird Greene sporting her new cowboy boots and dressed unlike anyone they’d ever seen before!  Parents and friends attended the last two days of camp where attendees performed their well-rehearsed script all decked out in their own costumes, in their own make-up and on their own set, which were all individual camp projects where they learned the skills of acting and crewing in live theatre tradition.
    Camp Two attendees, the younger set of campers, learned about bears in “BEARS AND MORE BEARS,” through the use of stories and exploring this animal of the wilderness through creative games, role playing, songs and poetry. The last day of camp featured a “show and tell” program presented for parents and friends. Some of the adults got into the act with the young thespians, creating a live bear-cave as a prop for their aspiring actors to use in their story-telling.
