Join the Pacem Play!!
Announcing auditions for Pacem School’s production of A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L’Engle, adapted by Morgan Gould!
Auditions are open to all homeschooled folks currently in grades 5-12 (or anyone available on Thursday afternoons). You do not have to have theater experience to audition! In this beloved classic, Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace travel across the universe so save their father. Help us bring this timeless story of good and evil to life.
Auditions for the production will be on Thursday February 13!
Most rehearsals will be weekly during the Thursday workshop time, 1-3pm, beginning in early March. Additional rehearsals will be added Mondays after school beginning in mid-late April. The performances are planned for the evenings of Thursday 5/22 and Friday 5/23. We’re excited that we’ll be able to perform the show right across the street at the new Montpelier Performing Arts Hub!
Our director, Maia Gilmore, has lots of great ideas, enthusiasm, and experience with youth theater including recently running Spaulding High School’s drama program.
The fee for currently enrolled part-time Pacem students is $200 – $250 (the fee is already included in full-time tuition). The fee for all other students is $250 – $300. All fees are on a sliding scale; families should choose the amount that works for them. This fee will help to cover some of the costs of the production
For more information, and to let us know that you plan to audition, please contact Rebecca Yahm at rebecca@pacemschool.org or call us at 802-223-1010/
Come and try out something new! Spend the afternoon with a great group of kids and adults. Learn something you’ve always wanted to learn. Our Thursday workshops are open to all people aged 10 to 18. All are welcome: traditional students, homeschoolers, and anyone else who is free on Thursday afternoons! These workshops are a series of 1 – 8 week long workshops. We take advantage of local organizations and experts. Students may register for the entire series of workshops, or for individual offerings. Interested students are invited to play a significant role in choosing workshop topics, organizing them, and even leading them. Past workshop topics have included mountain biking, archery, model rocketry, fencing, American Sign Language, improvisational acting, Shakespeare reading and performance, digital photography, board game design, and more. In the spring, Thursday workshops will focus on the production of a full-length play. If there is sufficient interest, we may offer short-term health-oriented workshops in this time as well. To register: please call 223-1010 or email lexi@pacemschool.org. Pre-registration is required. Workshops with insufficient registration may be cancelled. Please email us to be on the list if you want to hear about upcoming workshops.
