/ co ----_ Zakeana Reld needs you! Zakeana has organized a perfect opportunity for youngsters with a whole lot of energy to burn this summer--a theatre "summer school" where the emphasis Is on learning -and fun. For detalls, see story. 12 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, July 5 1988 Great opportunity for kids way Where can a caring parent send a child to learn self-confidence, con- centration and a whole lot about theatre? Greenbank, of course, the burd- geoning centre for youthful crea- tivity. This summer, three talented and stage-wise teenagers are running a brand new theatre program for kids aged eight to 12. Called simply Children's Summer Theatre Work- shop, it promises three two-week jestions of non-stop educational un, The Workshop is the brainchild of Greenbank's Zakeana Reid. At 17, she is a veteran of the stage with a long list of impressive theatrical credits--including a part as "Imagination" in the award- winning Borelian's play "Nobody Loves A Dragon." : Her very first acting experience came while she was still in grade school, performing in Wizard of Oz. She's taken part in a special school of creativity for young- sters, and was a devoted member of the now defunct Greenbank Children's Theatre Workshop. Not to mention her highest marks at Port Perry High School--in theatre arts. Her partners in the Workshop endeavour are also well-known for their interest in theatre. Jennifer Fletcher, 16, has won many awards at Cartwright High School for her acting abilities, and was named Best Actress for her perfor- mance in Nobody Loves A Drag- on at the Theatre Ontario Festival in North Bay. Greenbank's Allie Nolan rounds out the crew who will be running the Workshop. Together, the trio is promising responsible teaching of many as- pects of theatre, including mime, tableaux (a series of frozen poses that tell stories), improvisation, concentration, make-up, props, set design, and basics like how to be a good audience. The first session is already un- derway (it started July 4) and will run until July 15. The second ses- sion starts July 18 and continues until July 29. The third session, which is already filling up, starts August 8 and runs to the 19th, Each session runs on weekdays from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with supervised lunches (lunch isn't in- "cluded, but Zakeana will provide snacks in the morning and after- noon). At the end of each session, the kids take part in a short play. The action takes place in the Greenbank Community Hall (on Highway 12) and the price is a Summer theatre workshop real bargain at only $120 per child for a two week session. As any parent knows, you can't even get day care for that price-- never mind a babysitter! Zakeana is pretty excited about her self-made summer "job" but she's admittedly a little disap- pointed with the response to her project so far. She has to have a minimum of six children per ses- sion to break even. Her first ses- sion wasn't filled, as of Wednes- day June 29, although her August session is doing much better. For parents who want to give their children something interest- ing (and inexpensive) to do this summer, the Workshop should prove to be a real boon. For more information about the rogram, give Zakeana a call at 85-2123--she'll be glad to hear from you.
