The Day Aliens Attacked Fairfield
This is an exciting class for the young actor who is looking to be part of an exciting production! Students will have the opportunity to build a character, learn lines, understand blocking, assist with creating props, and be part of a cast! During this one hour and fifteen minute class, students will be engrossed in being part of this production. The class will be filled with fun, acting, and character building. Students will perform their show at the end of the semester for family and friends!
“The Day Aliens Attacked Fairfield” tells the tale of a sleepy small town where nothing ever happens, at least not since Billy Myers got that nasty paper cut a decade ago. And with the exception of a pair of vain newscasters, a few fringe skywatchers, and a kooky grandfather living in a galactically fantastic past, most townsfolk are okay with their humdrum ways. Like it or not, though, the winds of change are about to descend on Fairfield faster than a delivery from the town’s famous Flying Saucer Pizza.
After an alien sighting Fairfield finds itself in a frenzy. Luckily, the members of SAWPE (that’s the Society of Alien Watchers to Protect Earth) are selling tinfoil hats to help protect everyone. Even the president comes to this sleepy burg, but not everyone in town agrees with his plan to attack the space-traveling Zordonians.
It’ll be up to a brave little girl and her unwavering grandpa to stop a war of the worlds in this out of this world comedy!
All students will be cast in a part. They will have a blast developing, utilizing, and growing their theater skills whether they are new to performing or have been a part of previous shows. Casting information will be provided prior to class to allow students to prepare their casting audition at the first class. The beginning of the semester will be mastering basic acting tools, then we will dive into the rehearsal process. This will be a fun and engaging experience for actors of all levels!

In the Director’s Chair
A fun and immersive experience for theater enthusiasts. Students will serve as Assistant Directors working on a production. Assistant directors will take part in helping the instructor work with students in the Let’s Act! Tuesday evening class. Students will learn leadership skills, casting, directing, and blocking scenes, costumes and props, and assist students with preparing for their roles. In the Director’s Chair allows your student to shape a performance and put their director’s hat skills to the test while working on an actual performance.
From those who know they have a love for directing and are interested in the behind the scenes experience to those who want to improve their own performance skills, this class is sure to be a hit! Participating in the Assistant Director role will provide the opportunity for application and grow the student’s theatre resume and their sense of accomplishment.
A key part of this class will be table talk learning sessions with the instructor in the first 30 minutes of class. This will include discussion, review of the previous class including what worked, what didn’t, and what we learned from the class. The next hour of class will be a time of application with the The Day Aliens Attacked Fairfield production.
This is primarily considered a non-performing role, roles may be assigned for this production if necessary to complete our cast.
