The Bard of Ballyfiddle
Written by C. G. Miller |
| The Sheldon R. Serious School is in trouble!
Principal Farley has just implemented the “Serious Plan for
Serious Education,” which features a no-joy policy, and most
devastatingly, the elimination of music… which has been proven
to cause joy! When a strange Bard and a Mysterious Symphony of
Sound show up, the children discover the magical world of
Ballyfiddle, teaching them how to listen to their hearts, and
helping them devise a clever plan for restoring joy to their
school. |

The Mission of the Children's Theatre Company of
South Dakota is to give children the opportunity to work with
professional theatre artists in a positive and rewarding experience.
We are an outreach of the Black Hills Playhouse offering a dynamic
theatre experience, allowing young people the opportunity to perform
with professional theatre artists in a full-scale musical
production. Using original productions the company incorporates
positive themes stressing the importance of individuality, community
and the environment.
Arts education has been proven to develop children's creativity
and problem solving skills. The CTCSD art programs and services are
designed to inform and educate people about the value of the arts,
individuality, community and the environment. The arts can inspire
creativity, celebrate traditions, help reconcile differences,
provide recreation, and contribute to the economic and social
development of whole communities. The experience will give students
the opportunity to learn better concentration, coordination and
communication skills, as well as greater self-confidence and poise.
The parent company of the CTCSD, the Black Hills Playhouse Inc.,
is one of the oldest, continually operated summer theatre companies
in America, founded in 1946 by Dr. Warren M. Lee. The Black Hills
Playhouse has a reputation for excellence throughout the state of
South Dakota and the country. The Children's Theatre Company of
South Dakota is a natural progression of the Playhouse's commitment
to year round professional opportunities.
 The
Children's Theatre Company of South Dakota provides a weeklong
residency that will culminate in a musical production using up to
fifty local children with suitable parts designed for every age,
skill and experience level. The production experience will include
five days of intensive rehearsals in which the lines, staging, songs
and dances will be learned. In addition to the more challenging
roles, older students will serve as assistant directors and learn
how to operate sound and lighting equipment. Two actor/directors
from the Children's Theatre Company of South Dakota will play major
roles in each production.
It is our goal to simply teach and delight children, taking them
to that wonderful place where magic, imagination, and reality come
together. |
