Forty-five students took the stage at the Benton Community Auditorium on Friday, June 8 for an open house performance of Second Stage! Summer Theatre Camp. The campers performed a song and six humorous skits for parents and friends as the culmination of their orientation week activities. This is the third year for the theatre camp in Van Horne. Second Stage! is hosted by ACT I of Benton County and is coordinated by Mary Horst.
Second Stage! is sponsored by the Benton County State Bank in Blairstown. A donation from the bank provided t-shirts for all the participants and funding for their upcoming musical production, Flying Colors. Contributions were also made by Coon Creek Telephone Company of Blairstown, the Louise Gilchrist Charitable Trust, Kirkland Trust, and the Vinton Community Foundation.
Second Stage! theatre camp orientation week was based on a color theme. Camp groups included: Camo Crew, Silver Spoons, Green Giants, Redwings, Blue Man Group and the Kaleidoscopes. Students participated in workshops focused on vocal stage techniques, movement, pantomime, and music. Workshops were presented by Lois Deerberg, Ann Franzenburg, Mary Horst and Kelynn Schulte. Participants also enjoyed a variety of acting games with group leaders Annie Horst, Billy Hahn and Emma Miles, and helpers Jenny Nulty, Bridget Nulty, Ellen Franzenburg, Ryan Deerberg, MacKenzie Gage and Nate Horst.
Following the open house performance, campers were given casting assignments for the children’s musical, Flying Colors. Second Stage! theatre camp continues with rehearsals for Flying Colors, a full length musical to be performed June 29 and 30 at 7:00pm and July 1 at 2:00pm in the auditorium. Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. Tickets may be purchased at the door.
