Theatrikos Theatre Co. — Stage Buddies: Hunchback of Notre Dame and Theatre Camp

Stage Buddies

Hunchback

Enrollment

Coming up in December

Theatrikids Educational Theatre Program:

The Stage Buddies program, now in its tenth year, brings the classic Hunchback of Notre Dame to the Theatrikos stage for six performances in February. In this abilities-inclusive program, actors with disabilities age 15-18 are paired with experienced middle and high school actors to share a role in the play.

Based on the 1831 Victor Hugo novel of the same name, Hunchback of Notre Dame is set in 15th-century Paris and centers around Quasimodo, the disabled bell ringer of Notre-Dame Cathedral. Quasimodo falls in love with the beautiful dancer La Esmeralda, who seeks refuge in the church. The story involves themes of love, acceptance, and societal prejudice.

“Hunchback of Notre Dame marks the 10 year anniversary of our award winning Stage Buddies program. This is a departure from our other productions in that this is a more serious show with darker themes and not a junior version of a broadway hit. Our “company,” some of whom have been with us since the beginning 10 years ago, wanted a challenge. I am hopeful that Hunchback will be an achievable challenge!” Said Joe Maniglia, Theatrikos Education Director.

Enrollment/Auditions are December 1 & 2, 4-6 pm.

Enrollment

Still Open

Enrollment is now open for the one week long Christmas Theatre Camp. Open to area youth ages 6 to 13. We teach theater skills – including acting, voice, dialects, character development, and basic stagecraft. Our young participants gain poise and increased self-esteem and are often inspired to continue their theatre education.

All the Summer Theatre Camps were sold out, but there are still openings available for this year’s Christmas Camp.

Christmas Theatre Camp runs from December 30, 2024 to January 4, 2025, 9 am to 4 pm.
