The JR Devised Theatre class (Ages 8-11) invites you to experience the world of YIPS (Young Interesting People), and BUPS (Boring Uninteresting People)!
In a show written collaboratively by the young artists of the JR Devised class, the audience is whisked away to an interesting land of fairies, dragons, mermaids, magicians, mimes, goblins, wolves, wizards and more! But what happens when these YIPs find a plain-old, boring, regular briefcase, and they are suddenly transported to the land of the BUPs? Will they survive the horrors of department stores, Google searching, janitorial equipment, government forms, laundry, and *shudder*… teenagers, to find their way back home?
Enter a fantastical TV studio with the JR Stage Performance class (ages 8-11). The Fairy Tale Network is a television network that needs to improve its viewership ratings with exciting new programming. The three mice working as creative consultants for the studio each must come up with a story idea to pitch to their new chief, the Cat. And they need to pitch their ideas fast before they become a fancy feast! They retell the well-known tales of Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Pigs, and Goldilocks and the Three Bears, but now with new, unexpected twists.
The culmination of studio-wide hard work, CSOPA’s annual Spring Theatre Festival is a collection of ten different shows performed by each CSOPA class.
Enjoy our JR shows as paired double features with two shows for the price of one! The Chilliwack School of Performing Arts (CSOPA) is a non-profit, pre-professional, youth theatre organization working with students ages 5 to 24.
From our youngest and newest performers to the more seasoned teens, there are a variety of fun and wacky stories–some even written by students–to enjoy!
However, the learning doesn’t stop at the curtain. Behind the scenes, CSOPA’s senior students are learning how to become backstage crew members! The Spring Festival is truly a full CSOPA family experience. We hope you’ll join us for an amazing week of incredible youth storytellers and stories.
