Touring Programs!   Calaveras Repertory Theatre takes you from the PAGE to the STAGE!

Performance Programs:

Calaveras Repertory Theatre offers two performance assemblies: Page to Stage and Shakespeare!.  These highly active and humorous assemblies run 45 minutes and are performed by two professional actors.  These tours, which reach over 20,000 students a year, are designed to instill an appreciation of good literature.

Page-to-Stage

Page-to-Stage takes scenes from classic children's stories such as Charlotte's Web, Where the Wild Things Are, Tom Sawyer, The Twits and Just So Stories and brings them to life on stage with a lot of humor and fun for the audience.  Because this program was developed using the state framework for language arts as a guide, the program fits in well with elementary school language arts curriculum. 

This year, Page-to-Stage features scenes from "Good Night Moon," by Clement Hurd, "Miss Nelson is Back," by James Marshall, "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs," by Jon Scieske, "Ira Sleeps Over," by Judith Viorst, "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," by C.S Lewis, and poems by Shel Silverstein and others, and brings them to life on stage with a lot of humor and fun for the audience. 

Page-to-Stage is appropriate for grades K-6 and is available for booking in mid-October and November, 2002.

Shakespeare!

In Shakespeare!, the Bard's theater comes alive in a series of scenes chosen for their action and humor.  Each scene teaches students about a different aspect of Shakespeare plays.  Its goal is to make Shakespeare accessible and fun for students of all ages.

Shakespeare! is appropriate for grades 2-12 and will be available for booking in March and April, 2003.

After School G.A.T.E. Program:

Calaveras Rep also offers an after-school program, one day a week for 4 weeks.  Each session is two hours long and is taught by theatre professionals with specialties like Clowning, Improvisation, Stage Combat, Voice and Movement.  Piloted in the Berryessa School District, this is an ideal enrichment program for G.A.T.E. students.

Pricing:

Each of these programs (the after school program, the Page-to-Stage assembly and the Shakespeare! assembly) costs only $500 per program.  If you want to combine any of the programs, you can get a tour plus the after school program for $900, or you can get both tours for $900, or you can get both tours and an after school program for $1300.

These programs were developed by knowledgeable educators who are committed to instilling an appreciation of good literature in children of all ages.  We've had a great deal of success with these programs, which have been embraced by schools in Pleasanton, Santa Clara, Berryessa and Albany, to name a few.  We would like to bring a little of our magic to you as well.
