RESERVE — St. John the Baptist Parish’s youngest actors and actresses are getting a chance to “break a leg” during a special performance this week.
Karlie Wombles gets in some rehearsal time.
St. John Theatre’s children’s drama workshop is performing, “At the Bandstand” at 7 p.m. Friday at the theater on West 4th Street in Reserve.
Organizers said children have been working hard and having a ball the past two weeks preparing for the show, described as a condensed version of the classic, “Hairspray.”
Tickets are $3 at the door. The children’s workshop is an annual effort put on by theater organizers to teach interested youngsters about the magic of the theater and work that goes into staging a production. Veteran director Kristen Brooks will lead Friday’s production.
For more information on the show, call Managing Director Crystal Faucheux at 504-676-4700 or visit stjohntheatre.com.
