Oddfellows Playhouse postpones the start of fall classes one week


Due to last week’s wide spread power outages, registration for Oddfellows Playhouse’s fall classes and programs has been extended and classes will now begin on Sept. 19.

There are still openings in all classes including the popular Saturday classes for three to four year-olds called Little Fellows and First Act! classes for five to six year-olds. Other classes include Complete Actor 1 classes for students in grades one through three which teach the basics of acting through games, skits, stories and exercises. Complete Actor 2 classes are for 4th and 5th graders and develop the next set of vocal, physical and emotional skills for young actors.

Students who have already taken Complete Actors 1 or 2 may take part in Oddfellows’ popular Mini Productions: The Sneetches by Dr. Seuss and Twain Tales, an original production where students will bring Mark Twain’s beloved short stories to life. Our Technical Theater classes are also on the schedule.

The Teen Repertory Company and Junior Repertory Company schedules remain the same with auditions set for Sept. 12 and 13 for Slaughterhouse 5 and Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story. For more information, to register for classes to performances, call Oddfellows at (860) 347-6143 or log onto Oddfellows HomePage.
