9 Works Theatrical, one of the Manila’s leading theater companies and the outfit behind hit musicals “Rent”, “Songs For a New World”, “The Wedding Singer”, “Sweet Charity” and the recent “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown”, re-launches Stage Camp, its annual summer theater workshops, in cooperation with The Rockwell Club.
This year's workshop runs for even weeks at The Loft @ Manansala Tower, Rockwell Center, Makati, from April 16 to June 3, 2012, under the tagline is “We Make Your Dreams Come True.”
Now on its third year, Stage Camp has opened doors for several of its alumni to try their hand at professional theater. Sarah Facuri and sisters Becca and Rachel Coates have become part of Resorts World’s ongoing production of “The Sound of Music”. Fran Jose was also recently part of 4th Wall’s “Rivalry: The Ateneo-La Salle Musical” and appeared in last year’s “Seussical the Musical” under Rep. Erik Lozano was seen in Kids Act’s “Pinocchio” while Joseph Perez was in Tanghalang Pilipino’s “Noli Me Tangere”.
Stage Camp helps participants develop their skills in singing, dancing, and acting, discover new talents, and make lots of friends. This year's edition will offer Kiddie Camp (5-8 years old) Mon-Wed-Fri; Pre-Teen Camp (9-12 years old) Mon to Fri; Teen Camp (13-17 years old) Mon to Fri; Adult Camp (18 years old and above) Mon to Fri; and Advanced Camp for Adults (limited to 18 slots and must have appeared in two professional productions, or joined three workshops) Mon-Wed-Fri.
Culminating Showcases will be on May 31 to June 3, 2012 at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium in RCBC Plaza, Makati where majority of 9 Works Theatrical’s productions have been staged.
Kiddie Camp will be under the tutelage of Francis Matheu (“The Wedding Singer”, “Peter Pan”) and Peachy Atilano (“Rent”, “The Sound of Music”); Pre-Teen Camp under Onyl Torres (“Joy Luck Club”, “A Fire in the Soul”) and Harold Cruz (“Rivalry”, “Rent”); Teen Camp under Toff de Venecia (“You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown”, “Little Shop of Horrors”) and Gemini Quintos (Broadway’s “Annie” and “A Christmas Carol”); Adult Camp under Topper Fabregas (“Leading Ladies”, “Sweet Charity”) and Anthony Tarrosa Ong (“Rivalry”, “Sweet Charity”); and Advanced Camp for Adults under 9 Works Theatrical’s artistic director Robbie Guevara (“Miss Saigon”, “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown”), along with several guest instructors.
