1st Rehearsal of "Alice & The Lonely Hearts Club Band"

1st  Day of "Alice & The Lonely Hearts Club Band" Rehearsals Were a Success!!  WOW-what a STRONG group of performers!

Bronwyn read a frightening Queen of Hearts in this scene with (from left to right) Kolin, Joe, Bronwyn and Chloe there in the back to the far right.

Kaley getting into character for a very dramatic and silly role.  Not a big stretch for this talented starlet! :)

Here, we have a scene that was read well by these girls, but we all agreed it probably won't make the final cut of the script.  From left to right, pictured are: Deandra, Sydney, Kaley & Taylor.

"He did it, your majesty!"

"No, HE is to blame, my Queen!"

"ENOUGH has been said!  OFF with BOTH of your HEADS!"

Chloe (left) and Bronwyn (right) worked so well together, you'd think they'd been friends for years!

Their comedic timing together was perfect, although this will be the first Theatrikids production they've worked on together.

See what I mean?  They had us rolling on the floor with laughter!

Speaking of having us rolling on the floor with laughter...Is it obvious that these 2 "Veteran" Theatrikids students (Kolin on left, Joe right) have worked together before? :)

Kolin (left) appeared as "Dewey Finn" and "Theo" in Theatrikids' "School of Rock-The Musical!" while Joe was the very animated "Spyder, " or as he often said, "Spyderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"  Chloe did a great job not breaking character to laugh at this comedic duo when they read this scene.

Veteran Theatrikids' Students Kaley (left) & Taylor (right) love working together, as we can see here :) Awwwwwwww...

We were happy to meet new Theatrikids student Deandra, whose reading of the Cheshire Cat was priceless! 

Kolin & Joe, caught at a moment of "Wait, what was that line?"  Director & Playwright Erin Byrne relies on the ideas of the students to build the plot and develop the characters into a Masterpiece of a show!

"What was that, my Queen?"

Sydney (left) and Kaley (right) are quite poised and proper for this tea party scene. 

We're not quite sure why Taylor (right) chose to wear the wolf-head for this scene, but it did add a certain flair!

Deandra (far left) had a great time with the "Cheshire Cat's tail" prop!  We almost couldn't get it back from her!

Here's Taylor trying the scene without the wolf hat.  I am still trying to figure out what the heck is pictured on her shirt...

After this reading of the tea party scene, which I made them do sitting, then again standing, it was Sydney (pictured center, green shirt) that made the comment "sitting or standing, that scene doesn't really work."  We all agreed, and they took lots of time thanking me SO much for making them run through it twice, especially since it was rather confusing.  You're welcome, ladies--That's what Directors are here for--making you do everything over & over! :)

And Finally...
Below Are Some Videos We Took in Class, but Miss Erin's phone was so low on memory, the tea party scene came out choppy.  DON'T MISS KOLIN'S VOCAL AUDITION OF "LET IT BE"--That young man has some PIPES!  I also want to note that it is his own Original rendition of the song, and an extremely IMPRESSIVE INTERPRETATION for someone of his age!
