“In only three years DSHA’s Community Theatre Works has tripled in size,” says Stoddard. “This is due to the amazing staff we have at CTW who know how to push the kids and raise the bar high, but still have fun while doing it. Educationally, it is great for the performers, who range in age from 5th grade to adult, to have the experience of performing in an outdoor theatre. Pictures, food, fun, Disney songs…you can’t go wrong. What a great way to spend a summer Saturday afternoon in the Milwaukee area!”
CTW began in 2009 with the production of Honk! The Musical Tale of the Ugly Duckling, followed by Annie in the summer of 2010. CTW is an intensive, four-week rehearsal process combining the talents of DSHA students, DSHA alumnae, middle-school students and select community members. The mission of CTW is to educate students by working in tandem with local talent in a caring theatre environment that fosters mentoring, teaching, learning and growing.
Regular performances of Beauty and the Beast take place at the DSHA Hansen Theatre July 14 – 17th. Tickets can be purchased by calling (414)616-2813 or by going online at www.dsha.info at Shop DSHA.
