    Knights and Ladies of the Roundtable at New World Rep!

    If you have a child (age 7 to 16) who has been bitten by the acting bug and wants to have lots of fun while learning about all aspects of a theater production, New World Repertory Theater Summer Day Camp is right for you! NWRT in Downers Grove is holding theater day camp June 16-20 and June 23- 27 for ages 7-16. The camp theme is Knights and Ladies of the Roundtable. We will explore medieval times and what it was like to be a knight or a royal princess! This is a full-immersion camp experience where students participate in making costumes, designing and painting the set and rehearsing a play for performance on the stage at the end of the week!

    Acting skills are taught during the morning and special workshops in costume, set, scriptwriting, stage combat and improvisation are held in the afternoon. Camp instructors are professional actors and directors.

    Full and half-day options are available. Go to www.newworldrep.org or call 630-663-1489 to register.

    Elgin Theatre Company presents the musical "Nunsense II: The Second Coming.."


    Elgin Theatre Company presents the musical "Nunsense II: The Second Coming.." by Dan Goggin Friday and Saturdays at 8 PM May 2, 3, 9, 10, 16 and 17 At Theatre 355, 255 E. Chicago St. Elgin, "J" Entrance. Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for seniors and Students Reservations at 847-741- 0532 or tickets@inil.com

    Director: Kevin Wiczer of Wheeling. Choreographer: Kara Williams of Palatine. "Nunsense II: The Second Coming" could easily be subtitled "the rest of the story." The sequel to the international hit musical NUNSENSE takes place approximately six weeks after the first "benefit performance."

    The same five nuns are back on stage at Mt. Saint Helen's School for what is billed as a "Thank You Program" for their supporters. Since their first time out was such a success, they have decided that they should stick to their successful variety show formula. This time they are forced to work around the set dressing of "The Mikado" which is being presented the following week by the Hoboken Music Society on the Mt. Saint Helen's stage.

    This production is funded in part by grants from the City of Elgin and the Illinois Arts Council and produced with the cooperation of Tams- Witmark, Inc.

    Have you seen The O'Conner Girls? They're at the Village Theatre Guild.

     

    Katie Forgette's poignant comedy "The O'Conner Girls" will come alive at the Village Theatre Guild in Glen Ellyn, beginning May 23 and running weekends through June 14. This nostalgic story of a family at a crossroads following a father's death interweaves Irish wit, Catholic guilt, old movies and fresh starts.

    "Most of us can recall many joy-filled moments, made all the more rich by our eccentric relatives and ethnic and religious heritage," explains director Marianne Bowles. "The O'Conner Girls celebrates those moments."

    Friday and Saturday performances are at 8 p.m. with matinees at 4 p.m. on May 31, June 1, June 7 and June 14. Tickets are $18. The Village Theatre Guild is located near the northwest corner of Park Blvd. and Butterfield Rd. in Glen Ellyn. For tickets call 630-469- 8230 or visit the VTG website at www.villagetheatreguild.org.

    Special Offer: Mention this newsletter, and receive $2 off each ticket.
