Star Bright Drama Club records holiday show

    HOULTON — The Star Bright Drama Club, sponsored by the Houlton Star Bright Children’s Theatre, will be presenting the first of its series of Readers’ Theatre Radio Presentations this weekend.
    The production will be “The Baker’s Dozen: a Saint Nicholas Tale” by Aaron Shepard, under the direction of Susan McMann, and will feature Star Bright Drama Club members Chloe Davis, Austin Grant, Grace Johnson, Rothery Sullivan and Josh Sutton.
    The broadcast times for the production will be:
    • Saturday, Dec 19, on WBCQ 94.7 (Country Classic Station) 2:15 p.m.
    • Sunday Dec. 20, on WHOU 100.1 FM at 2:15 p.m.
    As part of their preparation for the upcoming series of radio presentations, 18 members of the Star Bright Drama Club took part in a special workshop on Saturday, Nov. 21, featuring Houlton native and radio personality John “Mike” Elliott of the “Mike and Mike Morning Show,” who spoke to them about skills they need when performing on the radio and he talked about his background with Children’s Theatre, being a Houlton boy, and how he got started in radio.
    The upcoming series of radio productions is being made possible through the generosity of WHOU owner and general manager David Moore.
    The Star Bright Drama Club began in the fall of 2008 as a way of providing a variety of events and activities, supplemental to the Houlton Star Bright Children’s Theatre’s annual production in the Spring, which would give young people working knowledge and exposure to the world of the dramatic arts. The club sponsors a variety of drama and theatre-related events and workshops throughout the year.
    The Houlton Star Bright Children’s Theatre, founded in 1969 by students at Ricker College, is one of the oldest community children’s theatres in the country and offers live theater for and by children to the Greater Houlton area. The Theatre is a non-profit organization. For more information contact, Frank Sullivan at 538-9416 or e-mail frank@rainbarrow.net.
