ARDENSINGERS GILD Fall 2018 Production Robin Hood and the Singing Nun A panto, by Stuart Ardern Nov. 10, 16 & 17, 2018 at 8pm Nov. 11 & 17, 2018 at 2pm at the Arden Gild Hall Stage Director: Ken Mammarella Music Director: Helene Furlong The Ardensingers are really looking forward to presenting this raucous musical pantomime featuring heroic outlaws, wicked sheriffs, usurping princes, and a running parody of a well-known musical. Come out and cheer our heroes and hiss at the villains! The show is appropriate for all ages, with humor ranging from the slapstick to subtle adult humor. To current and prospective Ardensingers: This show requires a large, diverse cast, including motivated young actors. Visit our Auditions Page to review the script, music, and music recordings, read the character descriptions, download audition materials, and access other audition resources. Auditions will be downstairs at the Gild Hall on Tues.-Weds. June 19th and 20th from 7 - 10pm. To sign up for one or more 10-minute audition slots, contact John Newport at [email protected] or (610) 388-7680. We’ll be doing group auditions for the three “young outlaws” (roles specifically targeted for young actors), and for the roles of Herald, Soldiers, and Prisoner. (If you’re a first time auditioner, the group audition format will probably feel more comfortable than an individual audition.) www.ardensingers.org 2 THE ARDEN CLUB CALENDAR JUNE 2018 DINNER GILD THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER GREAT SEASON! 2017-2018’s season flew by!

Having worked with some highly skilled designers and pyrotechnicians, he has learned some interesting history, methods, chemis- try, logistics, and storytelling techniques. He also has some backstage experiences, creative solutions, and even original special fireworks (SFX) to share. He’ll talk about the origins of multimedia entertainment and why pyrotechnic SFX were key from the very start. What families and occasions stand out in pyro history? Why did he journey beyond “painting and aerial canvas” to “floral arrangements”, in show design? How are fireworks designed and made? Why are opera and symphony favorites? Why did George II say, “too many fiddles”, and when was the first traffic jam? And, what do they have to do with fireworks? Denis will explain the techniques and insights of his profession about color, sound, and many other factors.
