Home Made Theater Announces Open Registration 

for Youth Conservatory  

 

Home Made Theater is pleased to announce open registration for children and
teens ages 10-18 years old for the HMT Youth Theater Conservatory production
of FAME, JR. This program gives students an exciting, creative and
supportive environment in which to experience the thrill and exhilaration of
performing in a main stage production.  All students who register will be
cast in our production of FAME, JR. to be performed at the Spa Little
Theater.  Performances will be open to friends, family, and the general
public.   No experience is necessary; children of all levels and experience
are welcome.

Set during the last years of New York City's celebrated High School for the
Performing Arts on 46th Street in 1980-1984, before its merger with
LaGuardia High School, FAME JR. is the bittersweet but ultimately inspiring
story of a diverse group of students who commit to four years of grueling
artistic and academic work. With candor, humor, and insight, the show
explores the issues that confront many young people today.

The youth conservatory is directed by Laurie Larson, who has previously
directed the Youth Conservatory productions of THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE JR,
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST JR, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF JR, SEUSSICAL JR, ALADDIN JR,
ANNIE JR, GUYS & DOLLS JR, THE LITTLE MERMAID JR and Home Made Theater's
main stage productions of 9 TO 5: THE MUSICAL, CHARLOTTE'S WEB and THE LION,
THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE. She has a vocal performance degree and a minor
in theater and dance from Ithaca College, an education degree from SUNY
Potsdam, and a master's degree in theater from SUNY Albany.  She is active
in community theater and professional theaters as a performer and
choreographer. Laurie has worked for local theaters such as HMT, Schenectady
Light Opera, Albany Civic and Park Playhouse.  She is also the theater
teacher and choral director at Ballston Spa High School.

Rehearsals will begin in March and performances are scheduled for May 16th
and 17th.  Registration is limited.  For further information, call Home Made
Theater at 518-587-4427, or visit www.homemadetheater.org to view the
registration flyer.
