MONDAY AFTER SCHOOL THEATER PROGRAM
The Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center is proud to announce the Fall YAP After School Theater Program for Young Artists!
YAP’s Monday After School Theater Program cultivates imagination, encourages confidence and helps young artists find joy in self-expression. Through rehearsing and performing a musical play, students develop their own unique voice. Join us every Monday for 10 weeks at the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center where students will learn about and develop their part of this incredible Fall Theater Event.
YAP’s 2024 Fall After School Musical Play: Shakespeare Unshackled by Ron Fink (Composer) and John Heath (Book and Lyrics).
About Shakespeare Unshackled: This show answers every question everyone has ever had about Shakespeare.Well, maybe it doesn't quite do that. But it does touch on many cool aspects of Shakespeare's life, Elizabethan London, and plays and theater. Most of the titles of Shakespeare's plays are mentioned (often in humorous contexts), and there are dozens of quotations from Shakespeare, including extended passages from Othello and Romeo and Juliet (and a fractured description of A Midsummer Night's Dream). It's a perfect introduction for students and audiences to the real thing! Filled with humor and fantastic songs, Shakespeare Unshackled is both a great introduction to Shakespeare and a wildly fun musical play that entertains and educates all at once!
