Auditions for Arts Enter Academy of Theater Arts: January 16th
Arts Enter will be holding auditions for this spring’s Academy of Theater Arts on January 16th at 10:00 at The Palace Theater in Cape Charles. This is the first season for the Theater Arts Academy, which will be an intensive all hands on deck production experience which will include auditioning skills, the actor’s method, improvisational training, vocal training and theater games.
The class will begin with a basic play structure, which is based on the South American story myth of Anansi the Spider. After auditions, and students are assigned their characters, the class will engage in a series of theater games and improvisations which will flush out the character, and create the dialog for the play. Each week, the class will build on the previous week, until a full fledged play has been created.
This process will involve a lot of hard work as well as lots of fun. Along the way, we will be focusing on many technical aspects, such as voice, diction, the actor’s method, as well as how to nail an audition. Students will also play a big part in designing the sets, lighting, and some aspects of the sound design.
As always, this production will be fused with Ms. Amy’s dance classes to create the Spring Dancaeble Drama.
The cost of the program is $75, however, for students already enrolled in the dance school, the cost is $35.
The time of rehearsals is tentatively set for 5:15 to 6:45 each Friday.
Who: Ages 10 – 17
Where: Palace Theater, Cape Charles
When: 10:00 on January 16th
What to bring: Your portfolio, including stage resume, photo if you have it. Optional, bring a song you can sing acapella

EMS Director presents BoS with list of needs for upcoming year
At this Monday’s Board of Supervisor’s work session, EMS Director Hollye Carpenter presented the BoS with a shopping list of needs which she feels should be incorporated into the new EMS garage. That project is set to begin sometime in the new year. Carpenter also provided an informal sketch of the proposed layout of the building. Note: Mirror attempted to get a copy of the sketch, but at the time of publication, have not received it. Carpenter told the BoS that the sketch had already been presented to the Ad Hoc Committee that is also working current EMS and safety issues. According to Carpenter, the new EMS garage will be a 40 x 80, 4-bay building with a utility room and shower, second floor bunk room and living quarters, 4 12 x 12 overhead doors, and a breezeway to connect to the existing EMS building on the point in Machipongo. Carpenter explained that the EMS department currently has 4 vehicles: 1 ambulance, 3 Tahoes and a response trailer.
Carpenter also echoed a concern that has been voiced by Supervisor Granville Hogg, as well as AD HOC chairman Patrick Coady, that County EMS will need a higher level of trained EMS responders once the hospital moves.
The EMS department also hoping to add an additional ambulance in the 2017 budget. At the present time a formal procurement process has been initiated.
