On August 7th and 8th, theater-goers will be treated to the second season of the West Haven Summer Youth Theatre. Group 1, children ages 10yrs - 13yrs, will perform You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown, while Group 2, ages 14yrs - 18yrs old, will perform the Andrew Lloyd Webber/ Tim Rice opera, Jesus Christ Superstar.
The West Haven Summer Youth Theatre, sponsored by the West Haven Council on the Arts and a block grant from the West Haven Community Development Department, got underway on June 23rd. Almost 30 children took part in their auditions. Since then, cast members have been rehearsing their parts, as well as learning the behind the scenes duties that most of us never think about when we see a show. Their 6-week investment culminates in their performance which takes place on August 7th and 8th, at Carrigan Middle School in West Haven. The show will begin with Group 1 performing songs from You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown, followed by Group 2’s performance of Jesus Christ Superstar.
West Haven Council on the Arts would like to thank the West Haven Board of Education for making Carrigan Middle School available for the theatre program, as they did last year. Our goal is to present this program at its permanent home in The West Haven Arts Center in the near future.
