WEEKLY PROGRAM:

TUESDAYS, SEPT 21, 2010 - JAN 11, 2011,  4:45pm to 7:45pm

Guest Renter: ACT OUT East's Fall / Winter Musical Theater Program
Presenting BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

“BEAUTY AND THE BEAST JR” is based on the modern Broadway classic, which ran for 13 years.

Disney’s BEAUTY AND THE BEAST includes all of the wonderful songs from the film, written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, (the team responsible for LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS), plus new songs written especially for the Broadway version by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice (ALADDIN, AIDA).

You will be transported to a lovely French provincial town where the beautiful Belle lives with her father – a dotty inventor. When her father doesn’t return from a trip to the local fair, Belle rushes off to find him. To her dismay, she discovers he is being held captive in an old castle by a horrible beast. She trades her freedom for his and the “tale as old as time” begins. How Belle tames the unfortunate Beast and his ultimate transformation into a handsome prince continues to enthrall audiences.

ACT Out East is a training program.  We utilize our production and the roles therein as a vehicle for training in the performing arts.  We are dedicated to working individually with each and every student, regardless of the role he or she is assigned. Each student will receive classes in acting, voice and dance during the program.


(please note: no class Nov 23 or Dec 28)
Performances (3) January 14, 15 & 16
*students must be available for extra rehearsals the week of Jan 10 - 14th for the entire weekend of the performance

ROSIE LEDET AND THE ZYDECO PLAYBOYS

Zydeco Music is most identified by the accordionists who lead the band, but ..."Today's premier female artist is Rosie Ledet, whose soulful voice kicks her male counterparts right out of the club"
- Wall Street Journal

Like so many other French kids raised in rural southwest Louisiana, she paid no particular attention to all the zydeco music that was around her in her formative years; even though her parents had tried to raise her with a healthy respect for zydeco music, the music held little appeal for her as a kid. But one day, after attending a zydeco dance when she was 16, hearing Boozoo Chavis, she was smitten.

Rosie hails from the rural town of Church Point, Louisiana, and learned to play the accordion by watching her husband and then practicing on his accordion while he worked during the day With her self-penned tunes, Ledet provides a unique female presence in the male-dominated zydeco world. She sings in both Creole French and in English. Her songs are often sly and lusty and combined with her natural good looks and distinctive, bluesy singing voice, she wows audiences wherever she goes.

A prolific songwriter, Rosie has released eight albums of her own material. All of her releases have been on the Maison de Soul label of the Flat Town Music Co. in Ville Platte. Rosie's albums showcase superb lyrics, strong vocals and skillful accordion playing. Her newest CD, Pick It Up was released in 2005 and very well-received, critically and commercialy.

She and her band began performing in 1994 throughout the Texas-Louisiana triangle, and have gradually spread their touring base to include the rest of the U.S. Ledet and band have been on several European tours as well.
"Today's premier female artist is Rosie Ledet, whose soulful voice kicks her male counterparts right out of the club"... Wall Street Journal
