acting) do not need to audition, but should have their applications turned in by

<DIV class=content id=e8dcf17d0f914de89a8c46e75306569b><STRONG>Heather
Ferlo</STRONG> (Director) will graduate from Ballston Spa High School
in June and is very proud and excited to be directing <EM>Alice in Wonderland
Jr.</EM> She began her theatrical journey in first grade and hasn't let up
since. She's been involved in numerous productions in the community as well as
at Ballston Spa High School. Some of her favorites include Annie;
<EM>Annie</EM>, Edwina; <EM>Dear Edwina Jr</EM>., Ms. Hasler, <EM>The Pajama
Game</EM>, Bet; <EM>Oliver!</EM>, Jo March; <EM>Little Women</EM>, Mrs. Potts;
<EM>Beauty and the Beast</EM>, Cinderella; <EM>Into the Woods</EM>, and Fay
Apple; <EM>Anyone Can Whistle</EM>. In fifth grade, Heather was given the
opportunity to work with the acclaimed company Music Theatre International (MTI)
in New York City. With enormous support from her family, she was able to take
part in a considerable number of experiences. She started with the Broadway Jr.
Workshop of <EM>Alice in Wonderland</EM>, and later, <EM>Beauty and the
Beast</EM>. She also attended the gala opening of the family theater at the
Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. and the Broadway Jr. Festival in Atlanta, GA
as a member of the "Broadway Jr. All-Stars." Earlier this year she had the
pleasure of working a full-time internship with the New York State
Theatre Institute. During her time there she learned many trades of the theatre
(including lighting for the stage, sound design, costuming, stage managing,
producing, publicity, acting, auditioning, and scenery construction). She gained
a great appreciation for the number of hands and amount of talent that is
required to make this art form truly special. She has been taking piano lessons
at The Music Studio in Albany from Noel Liberty for eleven years. In addition to
her piano studies, Heather has privately studied voice with Anne Agresta Dugan
for the past four years. Heather will be attending The Crane School of Music
this fall and will pursue a degree in Music Education and a concentration in
Music for Special Education with hopes to eventually earn a degree in Music
Therapy. Heather firmly believes that the theatre is a very important outlet,
especially for young people, that will help them to learn more about themselves
and how they interact with others. This camp will allow students to expand their
knowledge of the art and appreciate teamwork at its finest.</DIV></DIV>
