March Break Dramafest

Once again, Theatre Cambrian is excited to be offering the Marchbreak Dramafest to the young, up-and-coming stars of the community. “Each March, Dramafest is a huge hit as students spend their March Break singing, acting, and dancing their vacation away at Theatre Cambrian,” states executive director, Mark Mannisto. Back again this March will be Angel Boyle, leading the Marchbreak Dramafest team in teaching the children the essentials of vocals. Angel is a private voice, piano and music theory teacher at Happiness..Is Dancing and also teaches at her own home studio. She studied voice with Monica Zerbe and Daria Morley at Cambrian College. She has also been a soloist, as well as a back-up singer, for the CTV Children’s Christmas Telethon for 8 years. Angel recently studied with celebrity vocal coach Elaine Overholt, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and his musical director Simon Lee on the hit reality series "How Do You Solve a Problem like Maria?" in Toronto. Joining Angel will be Kelsie Carroll, a dedicated member of the Theatre for six years now. She has been involved in two educational programs: Summertime Stage & Kids’ Curtain as choreographer for both. Her eight main-stage musicals include CATS, Grease, A Chorus Line, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. She has also performed in four dinner-theatre productions, including Not Now, Darling and Come Back to the Five and Dime Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean. Credits gained outside of Theatre Cambrian are performing with Canadian crooner Michael Buble and working media for Sir Elton John .

Theatre Cambrian’s Marchbreak Dramafest will run from 9 am - 4 pm, March 15-19, at St. Stephen’s on the Hill United Church.

Theatre Cambrian's Marchbreak Dramafest will allow children the freedom to express their creative sides as they learn the fundamentals of stage acting, singing, and choreography. All the while, Theatre Cambrian's instructors put an extra emphasis on the FUN in fundamentals.

On tap this session will be theme-oriented days in which all activities of the day will be designed specifically around that day’s theme. Children will be given a chance to direct scenes and act in scenes. Children will also be tested in improv games and mask work. They will learn to choose the correct monologue and audition song for musical theatre and further learn innovative and creative ways of boosting self-confidence.

A portion of each day will be devoted to the children’s preparing a one-act musical performance to showcase for parents, friends, brothers, and sisters at the end of the week.

“The Marchbreak Dramafest is the perfect opportunity to have your children’s first experience in theatre be a memorable one. Many of our participants have gone on to performances both with Theatre Cambrian and the Sudbury Theatre Centre,” states Boyle, team leader of the Marchbreak Dramafest.
If you’re interested in having your child participate in Theatre Cambrian’s Marchbreak Dramafest, please call Theatre Cambrian at 524-7317. Cost is $165 per child. Families enjoy a 10% discount!
