Things to Do

We would love to have even more to brag about and to remember this summer by. Please send all pictures to Jovanni, at magijovanni@gmail.com.

Music with Mr. Granger (9:00 - 11:00 AM) @ 95 Hamilton Ave, Corinth NY 12822
Be ready to sing! Bring a chair or towel, plenty of water, a pencil, and a folder to keep your music organized. Throughout the music workshops, participants will learn proper vocal and breathing techniques through a variety of musical theater songs and exercises. By utilizing technology and small in-person outdoor gatherings, students will prepare several large and small group numbers from popular Broadway musicals. Students will have an active input in their learning and have a final virtual or socially distanced showcase by the end of the program. All ages are welcome.

Intro to Special Effects with Jovanni (9:00 - 11:00 AM) @ Zoom
Special effect design is a combination of prop and set design, and technical design. Participants in this workshop will have the opportunity to explore the vast world of special effects. We will learn about audio, visual, and even physical effects, and how they can create the illusion of weather or magic. We will discover methods to enhance the scenes and plot of a performance, and discuss how we can contribute to the main goal of theatrical performance: to make the audience forget that they are in a theatre at all. Join us and get your feet wet in the world of special effects!

Saturday, August 1st
Cast Party (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) @ 95 Hamilton Ave, Corinth, NY 12822
Join us for some fun in the sun together as a perfect ending to this summer's theatre season. This is a drop-off event for registered TAAD participants only. Please bring a drink, towel, bathing suit, and mask. Food will be provided! Our pool rules are as follows:
  1. TOWEL TERRITORIES: BYO towels or beach chairs, and we will use that to set up your “safe space” so that each of you (and those within your household) will be six feet apart.
  2. TEN TAAD-POLES TOPS: No more than ten can be in the pool at a time.
  3. NO SHARING FOR TODAY: No objects may be shared, so BYO floaties, pool toys, etc. Also, please bring your own individual snack and water bottle. (We will no longer be asking you to bring a snack to share).  Shared food and beverage will not be provided.
  4. MASKS ARE MANATEE (MANDATORY): Bring a mask. You may leave it on your towel while swimming but put it on when you get out. When outside the pool, and if you are within six feet of someone, make sure your mask covers your nose and mouth. You may eat at your own towel or lawn chair without the mask on, as long as a distance of six feet is maintained.
  5. UNDER THE WATER, NOT UNDER THE WEATHER: Individuals should stay home if they have had a fever, have been sick recently, have had contact with an infected individual, or have tested positive for COVID-19.
  6. LIFE IS THE BUBBLES: Practice good hand washing.
If you have any questions about this event, please contact Katherine Maynard at ktreenah@yahoo.com.
