Let’s put on a show! The Plateau’s libraries are setting the stage for Youth Theater.
Libraries are the go-to for a diverse range of interests, evidenced by the MGP Productions Youth Theatre programs offered at both the Hudson Library in Highlands and Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library. Megan Greenlee-Potts, MGP Productions owner and MGP Youth Theatre artistic director, shared that Fall Youth Theater classes in October are scheduled as follows: Hudson Library (Highlands): Performance classes; Saturdays from 9:00 to 11:00 A.M.; ages: 7th grade and up. (Come around to the back of the building to the Meeting Room entrance as the library won’t be open at 9:00) Performance Classes; Saturdays from 1:00 to 2:30 P.M.; ages: 4th through 6th grades. Cashiers Library: Technical Theater, Design, & Production classes: Tuesdays from 4:00 to 5:30 P.M.; ages: 7th grade and up; Performance Classes: Wednesdays from 4:00 to 5:30 P.M.; ages: 4th through 6th grades; Performance Classes: Fridays from 4:00 to 5:00 P.M.; ages: K through 3rd grades. All classes are free of charge, according to Greenlee-Potts, and she advises interested parties to sign up as space will be limited for each class. She added, “Auditions for all area students, regardless of whether or not you took the fall youth theatre classes for the holiday show are scheduled for Thursday, October 27, beginning at 6:15 P.M. at the Cashiers library & Saturday, October 29, at the Highlands library. Call backs (if needed) will be Sunday, October 30 in the afternoon.” Please contact Ms Greenlee-Potts to schedule a time for your audition. For more information or to sign up, contact Greenlee-Potts at [email protected] or [email protected]. In addition, Hudson Library added another author to its Books & Bites series. John Pruitt, who was a newscaster and reporter in Atlanta, Georgia, for over 40 years, has released his first novel, Tell it True, which is inspired by a case he covered in the 1960s in rural Georgia. The Books & Bites event is Friday, Oct. 14, at 12:30 P.M., and reservations are required by calling the Hudson Library at (828) 526-3031 or by visiting fontanalib.org/highlands.
