Spring Workshop Production: Grades 3-8
2021 Spring Workshop
Workshop will take place in-person with outdoor performances.
Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek. One day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he's handed a task — if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted. Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad, but a fairytale wouldn't be complete without a few twists and turns along the way.

SCHEDULE
Program runs mid-April to mid-June. Each Workshop group rehearses once a week for the first 9 sessions. Sessions 8, 9, and the performances, are on a slightly different schedule. Scroll down to view details for each group!PERFORMANCE
Random Farms is thrilled to bring back live performances with audiences! All performances will take place at an outdoor venue. Audience size will be limited based on venue size and all audience members will be masked and seated in a socially distant manner.
COVID-19 SAFETY MEASURES
Rather than running our workshop sessions with 24 kids, each session will be broken up into two smaller casts with no more than 14 children and 3 adults (the director, assistant director, and counselor). The small cast size will allow each cast to rehearse and perform in a socially distant way, with children being kept six feet away from one another. This also gives each performer more individualized instruction, and plenty of production involvement and features.

All participants are required to bring a mask every day. Masks will be worn while indoors or if children are unable to socially distance outside.
If a child falls ill, we ask parents to inform staff and share their child's symptoms. If a child presents with symptoms that may be COVID-19, we will inform the families in that child's cast that a child has presented with possible symptoms. We may also suspend the session or move to virtual rehearsals until the symptomatic child has been tested.
TUITION*
$665 - Subsidized tuition
$1,109 - Actual cost
HOW TO REGISTER
Enrollment in this program is first-come, first-served.
REFUND POLICY
Covid-19 Accommodations:
Register with peace of mind! Program credits and refunds will be available for the full value of the subsidized tuition if Random Farms is unable to run a group. Program credits and refunds will also be available for the partial value of subsidized tuition if the program can only run virtually for part or all of the session.
SCHOLARSHIPS
A limited number of financial aid packages are available. Please click here for info and application.
COSTUMES
Traditional costumes for our final performance will not allow for appropriate social distancing, due to the physical closeness with adult staff required for fittings and getting into and out of them. Instead, each child will receive a complimentary show t-shirt which they will wear for our final performance.
