Youth Audition Workshop
Directed By Jen Faulconer
Saturday, April 27th from 10:00 pm - 12:30 pm
Cost: $40 per student
Students ages 5-18
Registration Form
FCT will only be accepting 10-12 registrations for this workshop. So, please get your registrations in as soon as possible. We want to give individual attention to the students.
Find out what directors look for when you're up for an audition. Students will learn how to choose an appropriate song for an audition, how to prepare, and have the opportunity to practice and ask questions. Students will leave with a lot of information and be well prepared for their upcoming auditions.
The day begins with a mock audition. Students will get a chance to be on both sides of the audition process; as the auditionee and as the "casting directors". Workshops are geared to strengths and weaknesses, as we celebrate these in each other. Students can expect honest, yet constructive criticism to help them achieve the art of auditioning and hear it from a casting director's perspective.
Part of the lesson in this workshop is to choose a song that you have not previously mastered, so please pick one from the website and prepare it at home for your "audition".

 Spotlight On Nancy Daugherty
FCT first experienced this multi-talented thespian in 2008 in The Sound of Music as the elegant and vivacious Baroness Schraeder, Capt. von Trapp's intended bride before Maria came along. In addition to her singing ("No Way to Stop It", and "How Can Love Survive"), her set painting, which included an alpen vista, won her first Lofty award. The following fall found her as the courtesan Vibrata, in A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum, emulating a slinky jungle beast, and gaining two more Lofties for set dressing and painting which included turning the walls and columns into marble, sculpting a "marble" bust and adding countless touches suggestive of her character's trade.
In 2009, she displayed an additional talent as Director of The Miracle Worker, also designing, constructing, painting and dressing the set. Later that year she also designed, helped construct, and painted the set of Annie Get Your Gun and joined several ...Forum castmates in a sprightly, raucous production of Pippin for Prince William Little Theatre (reprising a high school experience). In 2011, Nancy was Stage Manager for The Diary of Anne Frank, as well as sound designer, and designing, constructing, painting and dressing the set, winning her another Lofty. For A Christmas Carol that year she painted the scrim curtain with scenery that dissolved to the stage scenery by light effects. Her painting in 2012 for And Then There Were None shared a Lofty credit. Then she played Cinderella's nasty stepmother in Into The Woods, winning another Lofty, and just recently, the W.A.T.C.H. Award (!), for set painting which included the faux stone fireplace and realistic fire. Just before last Christmas she was again a set painter for Santa's workshop for Elmer the Elf. Only recently she directed To Kill A Mockingbird, also serving as Stage Manager, set designer, constructor, painter and dresser. A native of Lynchburg, Nancy studied Theater at Virginia Commonwealth University specializing in directing. She now lives in Linden and applies her amazing artistic skills for her decorating company, Motif, creating murals and faux wall surfaces, stone, woodwork and vegetation. Some of her gorgeous effects are displayed at www.artmotif.net. Nancy sings in the choir of Calvary Episcopal Church in Front Royal and with other choral groups, and is studying for the ministry. Among her credits are writing and directing an original musical, Home Fires, and performing it in Ireland; also directing Amahl and the Night Visitors in Spanish, in the Dominican Republic.

Prepare to 'Be Amazed' by Noted Glass Harpist
"Music on the Water - From Mozart to Star Wars"
By Dixie Walters
Fauquier Community Theatre is bringing area residents an opportunity to marvel at the unique musical talents of Jamey Turner, an internationally renowned "glass harpist." Turner will take the stage for two performances on April 6. His show, "Music on the Water - From Mozart to Star Wars" will introduce local audiences to his unusual method of performing music.
Using water-filled glasses, Turner relies on the principles of sound to play a range of selections from Mozart to the theme from "Star Wars."Although he uses an unconventional instrument, there's no mistaking the melodies produced. Turner's rendition of "Ode to Joy" is as sharp and distinct as one played on a traditional instrument.
High-Profile Performances
Turner, an Alexandria resident, has been wowing audiences all over the country and even the world for some 30 years. He has appeared at the Kennedy Center, Disney World, the White House Easter Egg Roll and the National Cathedral, among other venues. He has also appeared on television programs such as "The Today Show," "Good Morning America" and "The Tonight Show," when the late Johnny Carson hosted. In addition, he has performed with various orchestras, including the National Symphony Orchestra and Philadelphia Orchestra. Turner also traveled to Japan last fall for a TV special.
Turner's imaginative performances involve audience interaction and education about his unique form of art. He often invites spectators to come onstage and join his one-man orchestra.
"This is a real family event that is enjoyable for all ages. There is something for everyone in the repertoire," says Debra Smyers, who was also responsible for bringing Elisabeth von Trapp to FCT for a sold-out performance last year.
Come be amazed at "Music on the Water - From Mozart to Star Wars," a show by international glass harpist Jamey Turner performed at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 6. Tickets are $12 (adults and seniors) and $10 (students). Purchase tickets with the option of printing at www.fctstage.org or call 540-349-8760. Fauquier Community Theatre is located at 4225 Aiken Drive, Warrenton, VA 20187.
