Are you seeing signs of theatrical promise in your child? Are they interested in the performing arts? If that’s a yes, then don’t be afraid to bring them down to Newport Children’s Theatre located in Newport, Rhode Island. This theatre can help to develop young people’s skills in a very welcoming and warm environment. Newport Children’s Theatre’s mission statement highlights this attribute and is stated as follows:

Newport Children's Theatre and Newport County Teen Repertory Company are dedicated to enriching the lives of young people by offering opportunities in the performing arts that engender self-confidence, inspire both individual expression and ensemble teamwork, and provide positive role modeling, thereby encouraging community outreach through quality theatrical productions for children, teens and families.

This performing arts center was not always geared to young children. In 1980, members of the community theatre group Newport Player’s Guild realized that there was a lack of theatre spirit for children and families in Newport so a Newport Theatre was formed originally with adult actors. The following year, the theatre started a summer theatre workshop program that turned out to be very successful. In the process of starting this workshop program, the NCT formed a very good relationship with St. Michael’s Country Day School, which lasted almost two decades.

Noticing the interest that a lot of the children had in theatre and seeing how popular the end-of-session performances were, the NCT officially became a “youth theatre”, and began holding open auditions for young children interested in acting who were age 8 and older for productions that took place in the spring and in December.By 1992, up to 90 children were auditioning for each show. The Newport County Teen Repertory- a year-long program that allowed actors between the ages of 13-18yrs a chance to take part in more learning opportunities at the next level- was formed and created for further enrichment about theatre through workshops, touring performances to schools, technical theatre opportunities, libraries, and community centers.

The NCT hosts many programs such as the Teen Repertory, Budding Actors, Prep for Rep, beginner ballet, and many more. They also host multiple camps that take place during all the seasons. The Shakespeare Camp and Annie Camp 2013 are just a few. Previous shows that the NCT have performed are Snow White, Peter Pan, Oliver, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and many more. Look out for NCT’s upcoming events such as Beginner Ballet held Novemeber 6th - January 9th and Holidays with James Winter Theatre Camp from Decmeber 27th – 30th.

Tara O’Hare Gnolfo, the Newport Children’s Theatre Artistic director, expressed her love for the performing arts center. “Our performances, while entertaining countless audiences, have provided a platform in which our young actors can feel the joy of performing in front of a live audience. The learning gained through the rehearsal process and performing live is invaluable.”

  1. Oakley prescription sunglasses manchester why Bother with the Bible? That is the question posed by Richard Dawkins in his recent debate with Rowan Williams in Oxford. As far as Dawkins can see, there is no point in reading a text whose 'explanations' have been superseded by superior modern discoveries. You can see the whole debate here and it's well,

    The party's headquarters, an old two-story building on Seelenbinderstrasse in Berlin's K枚penick neighborhood, is like a fortress. To enter the building, through its reinforced-steel door, one has to pass through a beefed up security system. Monitors inside record every movement transmitted by oakley prescription sunglasses manchester cameras in the courtyard and on the roof.

    So as you prepare to send your child back to school this year, consider opting out of standardized testing. All parents have the right to opt out of the tests, and until more parents make that choice your children will continue to be cheapest oakley sunglasses seen oakley prescription sunglasses manchester as nothing more than a oakley prescription sunglasses manchester data set. Children are more than test scores and education is a journey, not a race to the top.

    Vendors give a city its personality. Being able to buy things from a person who's operating their own business is exciting and personal, giving customers the opportunity to interact with business owners in a unique way. If you want to become a vendor and sell a unique product, you can learn to get the proper documents to make it legal, grow your oakley prescription sunglasses manchester business and expand into a successful vending operation.

    There are MANY great options available through Maui Jim but I tried to choose a good sampling of styles, lenses, and technologies to provide at least a little insight into this brand. Maui Jim has a great reputation and personally, I wanted to put them to the test to see if the hype was warranted. After spending some time with these shades, oakley prescription sunglasses manchester I truly believe that these sunglasses exceed the discounted oakley hype,

    Some of you might be wondering what is wrong with teaching to a test if the test oakley prescription sunglasses manchester is designed properly. But you must ask yourself this, can qualities we want in a successful student be measured in standardized tests? For example, if you oakley prescription sunglasses manchester are a small business owner and you are looking for an employee who is a fast oakleys on sale learner, knows how to analyze problems, oakley prescription sunglasses manchester and can work collaboratively with others, how do you measure these traits using a standardized oakley prescription sunglasses manchester test? You can't. Skills that are often coveted by managers are the oakley prescription sunglasses manchester ones impossible to measure on a multiple choice test.
