ParkStage Youth is a new program for 8-13 year olds to learn and share history through performance. Students will meet Mondays and Thursdays from April 8th to May 16th, 3:30-5pm at the Santa Cruz Mission State Historic Park to learn and rehearse an original story of local Santa Cruz history. They will perform twice outdoors on the lawn at the Mission State Park on the weekend of May 17th. Students will gather to research, rehearse, and perform a short play telling a story from Santa Cruz history. Every student who registers will receive a role (and so should be ready to perform in front of an audience). After a few meetings of getting to know each other, students will receive roles. They will be expected to memorize lines, and do further investigative research on their historical person and coinciding events of the story as they unfolded here in Santa Cruz. Much of this work can be done during their rehearsal time here at the park. By the end of the process, they should be comfortable understanding the motivations of their historical character, and some of the pressures of life here in the time period. They will also be able to pass this story on in a complex and collaborative manner, by performing the story clearly and honestly together, for audiences in two performances. This program is free as part of the offerings of California State Parks, but a $20 material fee for set and props is asked per student.
