Weekly classes held at 2630 Bennett Road in Okemos in the 2/42 Community Church Activities Building near the intersection of Bennett and Hulett Rds.

Saturday, January 13 – Saturday, February 10

Creative Dramatics is an initial introduction to the world of acting. Its non-performance structure allows the participant to explore many of the facets of acting without the burden of learning lines, specific rules, etc. Activities focus on movement, pantomime, and voice allowing for participants to develop their imagination and interact with others in an entertaining environment. (5 weeks; 10:00 – 10:45; Fee $35.00)
 
Fairy Tale Theatre is a class that will use fairy tales as the central focal point. Activities will include developing a character, using the voice, movement, and use of exaggeration. Participants will develop skills in listening, speaking, and using the imagination in a fun, entertaining setting. (5 weeks; 11:00 – 11:45; Fee $35.00)
 
(About the Instructor) – Cheryl Adkins has been acting since she was 10. She has been a part of MMFT for five years and enjoys a variety of roles, challenges, and helping to develop the acting abilities in her own children. During the week, she is a teacher and is excited to blend her two passions in offering this opportunity to the community.

Beginning Actor's Workshop - takes an in-depth look at putting together a scene for presentation.  It will take the participant through much of the acting process from auditioning to giving the final performance.

(About the Instructor) Mike Sobocinski has been performing as an actor for more than 10 years and has been involved in at least 50 projects on stage and screen, mostly as an actor but also including responsibilities with casting, writing, coaching, and assistant directing.  His teaching experience covers a wide range of ages, from K-12 and adult chess instruction through college courses in sociology taught at LCC and MSU.
Acting Exploration - is a loosely structured approach to acting through activities in pantomime, improvisation, storytelling, movement and vocal activities. General ideas about acting will be introduced at this level. This class will allow the participants to build self-esteem and confidence while interacting with others in a fun setting. Acting Exploration from (5 weeks; 10:00 – 10:45; Fee $35.00)
 
Introduction to Acting for Adults - is a look at the acting process including movement and voice for the stage. Students will work with materials and scenes throughout the session in a non-threatening environment. Participants will build self-esteem and confidence while developing public speaking skills. (5 weeks; 11:00 until 12:30; Fee $70.00)
 
About the Instructor – Linda Widener has been in MMFT’s Christmas Quartet, Heidi, The Orphan Train, and Christmas Trio. She also directed two plays, Good Good Trouble on Bad Bad Island and The Monster Hunters. She is on our advisory board as well as the board of Riverwalk Theatre.

1/8-9 - AUDITIONS for Mid Michigan Family Theatre’s UNHAPPILY EVER AFTER
Monday and Tuesday, January 8 & 9- 6:30-8 pm
2630 Bennett Road in Okemos in the 2/42 Community Church Activities Building
All ages are invited to audition.

A counselor has opened an office to see how various fairy tale characters are getting along. He quickly discovers that nobody has lived “happily ever after” at all! Sleeping Beauty will do nothing buy nap; the Frog Prince refuses to give up his amphibian ways, and nothing will pry Cinderella away from her beloved cinders. The counselor sets about making everything right again, with equally disastrous results. Added to the fractured fairy tale fun are five catch musical numbers, cameo roles for a chorus of fairy tale characters and plenty of silliness for everybody involved.

Counselor - a writer of romances, also a marriage counselor
Ms. Scribe - his secretary
Prince Charming - Cinderella’s husband; a modern young man
Cinderella - a simple soul; loves kitchen work
Stepsister One - an unpleasant sort, cynical
Stepsister Two - another
Stepmother - a clever shrew
Prince Ling - a distraught husband
Sleeping Beauty - does nothing but nap
Pond Princess - a fiery young woman
Frog Prince - can’t forget his days in the garden well
Rumpelstiltskin - a gnome with an identity crisis
Little Bo Peep    - can’t find her sheep
Little Miss Muffett - likes curds and whey
Little Red Riding Hood - not fond of wolves
Snow White - now a blonde

Boogie Stomp at Peppermint Creek

12/26/2017

0 Comments

 
Here's the info on Bob Baldori's Boogie Stomp! I've been recording and working with them for about 10 years now, and I still love 'em. --Mitch Stutes/Jonathan Stars

Here's a video link:

https://youtu.be/iGrzSSyYHWA

12/29-30-31 - Boogie Stomp! The Musical
LIVE on Stage at Peppermint Creek Theatre!

“Two red hot pianos. Decades of virtuoso playing. American roots music. One stomping show.”

After a rousing, packed triumph at last year’s Christmas-time show at The Steinway Gallery in Detroit, Boogie Stomp! comes to Lansing from December 29 - Dec 31, 2017.

It’s a simple premise, really—two pianists, Bob Baldori & Arthur Migliazza, playing thunderous stride, boogie-woogie, blues and rock’n’ roll on twin Steinway concert grand pianos. Between songs they talk and laugh about their lives, long careers and musical influences with an anecdotal ease that creates that rarest of things—the artists and audience in a shared revelry. A higher love.

Boogie Stomp! is a celebration of all that’s good and true in music—authentic American piano music as played by what one can only call two American Masters, Boogie Bob Baldori and Arthur Migliazza, with its own life-affirming point of view, deep history, and freedom from the traps of age, fashion, era, whatever. Pure music. Boogie Stomp! Is a vibrant, highly entertaining antidote.

BOOGIE STOMP!
December 29, 2017 at 7pm

December 31, 2017 (NEW YEARS EVE) at 6:30pm and 9:30pm

Hannah and Gretchen

12/15/2017

1/12-13 - The Studio Performing Arts Center/East Lansing Theatre and Dance Co.(the performing company) will be presenting “Hannah & Gretchen”, a modern take on Hansel and Gretel January 12 @ 7pm and 13 @ 2pm at the EL Hannah Community Center, 819 Abbot Rd., East Lansing.

PK Van Voorhees hesitates to blow her own horn, but I am pretty sure this is another one of her scripts/concepts which promises to bring her imaginative sense of humor to the dancing of the talented students at The Studio.

Alex Freeman Project

Alex Freeman - former Lansing actor and author of Ixion’s 2014 The Four Disgracers, and director of Riverwalk’s 2015 The Seagull, and loyal member of the GLUT despite being far from Lansing these days (“...it makes me feel like I'm still connected to the theatre community that shaped me into the artist I am today!”) - sent the following:

"In January, I'll be directing and producing a show that I wrote off-off Broadway during the New York Theater Festival - Winterfest! My producing partner and I are also very excited to announce that we're creating the film of the script at the exact same time. This dual development is something that we're really excited about putting together. If people are interested in learning about how they can get involved (and for more information about the project), they can check us out on IndieGoGo here: https://goo.gl/PFf5nU

12/7-10 - Ho Ho Ho! The Santa Claus Chronicles - by Mid Michigan Family Theatre

Thursday, December 7 – Sunday, December 10, 2017
7:00 p.m. Thursday – Saturday and 3:00 p.m. Sunday

Ticket prices: Adults 7.00; Students and Seniors $5.00

Mid Michigan Family Theatre is located within the 2/42 Community Building next door to the 2/42 Community Church at 2630 Bennett Road, Okemos MI 48864

About the play: Ho ho ho!  Here’s a fast, lighthearted Christmas play with plenty of small roles to give everyone their moment in the spotlight.  We join the host for a special live edition of “The Santa Claus Chronicles” at the North Pole just a few days before Christmas.  We start with a press conference where Saint Nick’s press secretary answers reporters’ questions about the jolly guy.  What’s his favorite food?  How does he know who’s naughty and nice?  We also meet the elves, Eeny, Meeny, Miney, and Sol, who take care of the reindeer, and we hear from the elves who work the gift suggestion hotline.  But the biggest mystery at the North Pole is where Mrs. Claus has disappeared to.  Just what is she up to?  Find out in a surprising ending that will leave a smile on everyone’s face.
