Theatre Production Workshop (ages 12-18)
Objection! Disorder in the Court - A virtual courtroom comedy
In this kooky kangaroo court, it’s never been more crazy (or hysterical)! You’ll also love the cast of outlandish characters in this funny, farcical court case. In this online class students will learn actor's warm-ups, learn about theatre terminology, work on character development, and more. Classes will be held in an online group setting.
SYNOPSIS: Casey Licit is on a cross-country road trip when she’s apprehended and held for trial in a town appropriately named Berserksville. Charged with an outrageous triple crime, Casey maintains her innocence. But as the trial begins, our level-headed defendant realizes her hapless defense attorney is an ineffective dolt, and the prosecution effectively uses silly, childish distractions to win the case, including bribing Judge Falter and witnesses with candy and leading the courtroom in the Macarena! The parade of witnesses offers testimony that’s nothing more than twisted fibs, boastful self-promotion, and gabby gossip.
