Actor's Company Blackbox Play:
Anne of
Green Gables

Suggested For: Ages 8-14

Saturdays, 9:00-10:30 AM

Colorado School of Acting - Lakewood

When the unexpecting town of Avonlea welcomes wildly independent red-head orphan Anne Shirley, her tendency for trouble shakes up their quiet, cozy lifestyle. But ultimately,  Anne wins over the town with her imagination and precocious charm. With a modernized script and rich characters for every performer, this production promises to warm the hearts and tickle the funny bones of loyal Anne of Green Gables fans and new audiences alike.

About

Stagebugz is thrilled to announce that our Spring Blackbox Production will be presented in collaboration with the Colorado School of Acting! As one of the country's only career-focused training programs for young performers, the Colorado School of Acting offers unparallelled resources for students of all experience levels to expand their acting toolbelts and explore personal interests and goals at their own pace, whether this is their first show or they have their sites set on Broadway! The Blackbox Company is an acting-focused program designed for older students to jump into advanced acting curriculum while diving deep into the full process of developing a production and working as an ensemble. Performers will get a taste of the rehearsal process of professional actors, while having tons of fun! Rehearsals will include games, bonding time, and technical work, leading up to a final blackbox-style public performance.

Payment Information
Tuition: $325
Registration includes all rehearsal materials, script and costumes (to be returned), program T-shirt, and two complimentary performance tickets. 
Additional Fees: A minimum of 2 volunteer hours will be required on behalf of each student. These can be fulfilled by a parent, sibling, friend, or students themselves (if they are 13+). You may choose to opt out of the volunteer requirement for a $40 fee. 
*Please note that Anne of Green Gables is a Blackbox production, which means there will be simple sets, costumes, props, and lighting. This class will be heavily focused on acting theory, rehearsal process, and performance skills, rather than production value or spectacle. 
​
A non-refundable deposit of $150 will be due at the time of registration. Families may choose to pay in full, or may pay only the deposit when registering. The remaining tuition amount will be due on Friday, January 17th. Failure to pay remaining tuition before the deadline will result in the forfeit of your student's spot with no refund of the deposit.
​
The $150 deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable. No refunds of any amount will be issued after January 17th.
​
Stagebugz is committed to making arts education available to all. Scholarships and Theater Accessibility Grants are available to those unable to cover the full cost of registration. Please visit our Financial Aid page to learn more. 
Performances
The blackbox company will perform on Friday, April 25th at 6 PM and Saturday, April 26th at 10 AM at Colorado School of Acting in Lakewood. Performances are open to the public and tickets will be available to reserve closer to the show. Each student will receive two complimentary tickets; additional tickets are $7 ($5 for children and seniors). 
Auditions and Casting
Registered performers will sign up for a 7-minute audition slot on Friday, January 24th, and should prepare a 60-90-second monologue in the style of the show. Auditionees may also be asked to read from the script. Students unavailable to attend should contact stagebugztheatre@gmail.com for information on how to submit a video audition. 
​
We never want auditions to cause stress for any student. If your performer does not wish to audition, please email stagebugztheatre@gmail.com after registering and we will place them in a role that they will get to shine and grow in! Additionally, if your child needs help selecting or preparing material,  contact us or check out our AUDITION GUIDE. We are here to make the process as stress-free as possible and are more than happy to help!
​
Every student is guaranteed a featured role upon registering, and performers in the blackbox company all receive relatively equal stage time. Auditions simply help us to determine where everyone will learn the most and have the best experience. We do our best to find a role that each child will be excited about, but please remember that in Stagebugz shows, there truly are no small parts.  Additionally, many factors go into casting a show, and not receiving their desired role is not a reflection of a child's level of talent.  
*Please Note: Program dates, times, and location subject to change.  Stagebugz Theatre can offer no refunds or transfers for drops, postponements, or other issues arising out of COVID-19 or any other unanticipated safety emergency.
