JOE FAMA

7 TUESDAYS

July 8 - August 19

10:00 am to 12:00 pm

Students will discover the fundamentals needed to capture form, shading, composition, and study values with the three primary colors. Choices of subject matter range from figures, landscape, or still life. You will also be learning how to set up a full palette and how to create a strong compositional design. Students will learn to see and express color, values and the illusion of depth as they take their own photos as a point of inspiration to create their own interpretation rather than a copy.  Classes will include lectures, demonstrations, as well as individual instruction. If you are new to the class, please bring a drawing or painting as a sample of your skill level to the first class. 

Max. 8 students.

Open Arts Alliance is thrilled to announce their Summerstage season with programs for students in grades 1-12 beginning June 23, 2025.

Budding performers and "veteran actors" alike are encouraged to make new friends and deepen their skills through production-based learning. This summer’s programming will offer a variety of classes and workshops, for students in 1st through 12th grade, and will introduce students to musicals in a condensed time frame with each 2-week session culminating in a full production. There’s something for everyone no matter their experience level-while maintaining an emphasis on student's personal growth. “We love summer at OAA,” says Program Director Cindy Busani. “It’s amazing what our students can do in two weeks. To watch a shy child blossom as they experience the stage for the first time or to see a returning student’s confidence grow because they were given the opportunity to shine on stage, these are the things that make everyone happy.”This summer Open Arts Alliance will present The Jungle Book KIDS and Regards to Broadway for students in grades 1 - 7 and Legally Blonde the Musical for students in grades 8 - 12. In addition, younger students can take part in a week-long Musical Theatre Dance Workshop specifically designed to teach fundamentals, while adding elements of storytelling, in the classic Broadway style.

One of the most enduring shows of all time, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a reimagining of the Biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, eleven brothers and the coat of many colors.

Told entirely through song with the help of a main character Narrator, the musical follows the journey of Jacob’s preferred son Joseph who after being sold into slavery by his brothers discovers his ability to interpret dreams. He soon finds himself in front of the mighty but troubled, Elvis-inspired, Pharaoh and his solution to Egypt’s famine elevates him to Pharaoh’s right-hand man and reunites him with his family.

The magical musical is full of catchy songs in a variety of styles, from a parody of French ballads (“Those Canaan Days”), to country-western (“One More Angel in Heaven”) and calypso (“Benjamin Calypso”), along with the unforgettable classics “Any Dream Will Do” and “Close Every Door.”

Students in grades 7 – 12 may audition for roles in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. In addition to regular Sunday rehearsals from September 7 – November 9, some students may be called for extra rehearsals on Tuesdays September 16, September 30, October 21, October 28 from 6 – 8pm.
