Tin Roof Productions


Hi!  My name is Karen Hamer, and I am the founder and director of Tin Roof Productions, a Colorado non-profit that provides creative opportunities in theatre to youth.

http://www.tinroof.wordsmithwebmarketing.com/Welcome.html

Following the success of  Pride & Prejudice in Colorado Springs last November -- a musical play that I wrote and directed --  I observed the need for and benefit of supportive and intensive, mentor-led, small group work for developing teenage actors.  For this reason, Tin Roof will be auditioning and casting a team of 15 - 25 year olds who will form a Theatre Ensemble to perform BOTH Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest in the Fall, AND Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing in the Spring.  Earnest will be a fairly traditional staging of Wilde's popular farce; and Much Ado will be a contemporary piece of theatre that explores concepts of space, form and identity.  Homeschool credit is available.

If your student has a strong voice, clear and expressive speech, and confident and expressive movement -- and if they *love* theatre! -- please check out the Audition Information on the TRP website (see link above).  You will find much information in the documents about audition requirements, costuming and fees.  If you are interested, please email me at karen.b.hamer@gmail.com for an audition time.  Auditions will be held on Sunday May 30 and Monday May 31 at the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts in Palmer Lake.

Cheers!
Karen Hamer

In particular, the Volleyball, Basketball, Track, and Soccer camps may be of interest to high schoolers, although some of the science and sewing classes may be good as well.  Dodgeball has been a big hit and those classes are close to full. We've enclosed the schedule in this e-mail as well as course descriptions near the bottom of the page. Parents are well come to pay half at time of registration with the remainder paid at time of class.

 Students will learn the basics skills of volleyball: serve, set, bump, spike, dig, dink as well as rules and proper volleyball etiquette in a fun way practicing and playing games each day.  This is a great opportunity to learn volleyball for all of those summer picnics, parties, and barbeques!
