BAY AREA STAGE JUNIOR
BAS JUNIOR!
Workshop for Teens & Children, ages 7 to 17
Theatre for Children, Performed by Children
Foster
the
imagination
in
your
child,
by
enrolling
him
or
her
in
the
next
Bay
Area
Stage
Junior
Summer-Fall
workshop
&
production.
Directors,
Jessika
Speer
&
Stacey
Loew,
train
young
performers
in
the
arts
of
acting,
dance,
and
voice,
followed by a weekend of three performances on the BAS mainstage.
Twice
a
year,
BAS
Junior
workshops
offer
instruction
in
dance,
music
and
acting,
to
young
people
ages
7
to
17
years
old.
The
students
in
the
program
have
the
use
of
the
theatre’s
two
dressing
rooms,
theatre
lighting,
and
stage,
and
for
BAS
teens
who
feel
more
comfortable
working
behind
the
scenes,
our
2021
Spring
workshop will offer technical instruction in lighting and sound design.
BAS
instructors
are
steadfast
in
providing
students
the
tools
they
will
need
to
succeed
in
life
on,
and
more
importantly,
off
the
stage.
Being
a
part
of
a
theatre
production
takes
teamwork,
courage,
persistence,
and
commitment
–
traits
that
will
sustain
young
people
throughout
their
lives.
We
feel
it
is
equally
important
to
become
well-rounded
in
the
arts,
and
to
develop
an
understanding
for
everyone
who
puts
in
the
work
to
make
a
production
happen.
BAS
often
utilizes
children
in
their
productions,
but
does
not
always
have
the
time
to
teach
the
basics during rehearsals. Thus in 2014, BAS started offering a children’s instructional theatre workshop.

"A CHRISTMAS CAROL"
New
York
Times
best-selling
author
Charlie
Lovett
has
returned
to
his
writing
roots
as
a
playwright
to
pen
this
surprisingly
fresh
adaptation
of
everyone's
favorite
Christmas
story.
Still
very
true
to
the
spirit
of
Dickens
and
of
the
time,
this
version
is
geared
to the young actor.
The
workshop
will
be
7
weeks
in
length,
(to
accommodate
possible
rehearsal
misses
due
to
Thanksgiving)
beginning
on
Monday, October 27. Performances will be December 12, 13 & 14.
Workshop
Tuition
is
$180.00
if
paid
before
the
first
night
of
the
workshop
and
$225.00
if
paid
after
October
27.
Tuition
goes
toward
royalties
and
production
expenses,
still
remaining
much
lower
than
other
local
children's
theatre
companies,
because
no one with BAS is paid. (We love our children that much!)

Dear Parents,
I
know
some
of
you
have
been
waiting
to
hear
about
our
plans
for
the
next
BAS
Junior
Theatre
Workshop.
It
just
isn't
going
to
work
out
this
summer
unfortunately.
Too
many
young
actors
had
conflicts
the
early
part
of
the
summer.
As
a
result,
we
moved
up
our
big-people
production
of
"Bus
Stop"
(currently
playing.)
Even
this
production,
which
called
for
a
teen
female
actor,
had
to
go
with
an
actress
in
her
20's
instead.
It
is
a
wonderful
production
by
the
way,
that
you
and
your
teenage
children
would enjoy.
So, here's the following info on what's happening with BAS until the end of the year.
"WAIT UNTIL DARK"
