Sign Ups Now for "The Mirror Project!"
For the 12th year, The Murphys Creek Theatre presents The Mirror Project, an acting conservancy/camp for kids 9 – 17. The Mirror Project has gained a reputation for creating young Shakespearean actors all while the children are having the time of their lives. “It is the highlight of my summer,” said Bronte Wilhelm, 17, returning for her 3rd year in The Mirror Project. Dozens of graduates of the program have gone on to perform in the Theatreʼs adult productions. Core classes include Acting, Shakespeare, Voice and Movement, and Audition Techniques, with...
additional specialty classes offered in Stage Combat, Dance, Acting with Masks, Acting for the Camera, and Technical Theatre. Classes are taught by company actors performing in MCTʼs summer repertory productions and by various guest artists, giving students an opportunity to work closely with a variety of professional theatre artists. The final product of the conservatory will be a full-length public student production of The Tempest and will be set in Steam Punk fashion.

Rehearsals and performances are at the Cornelia B Stevenot Amphitheatre in Murphys. Rehearsals begin June 25 and run week-days from 9 – 1pm. There are two performances on July 22 and 23.
“Every year I am amazed that a group of shy, goofy kids, pull off an amazing performance,” said Graham Green, artistic director of Murphys Creek Theatre and director of The Mirror Project.
An information and sign up session, including try outs for new-comers will be held on June 10th at 10 am at the Stevenot Ampitheatre. The cost for 80 hours of professional training and two live performances is $300. For more information, visit www.murphyscreektheatre.org or call 209-728-
