This program gives youth experience with performing and all that is included with putting on a production.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI direct them just as I would direct adults,\u201d said Rodrigues. \u201cThey\u2019re given a boost in confidence and self-esteem, while learning skills that can extend beyond the stage like discipline, determination, teamwork and respect to name a few.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So what can residents expect? Rodrigues said residents can expect to see one of the youngest performances of Shakespeare that they\u2019ve ever watched done accurately and comically.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the first 10 minutes you might think \u201cwow I can\u2019t believe these kids memorized all these words and are doing a Shakespeare play.\u201d But by minute 20, you\u2019re invested in the story and forget how young these performers actually are,\u201d said Rodrigues.<\/p>\n<p><em>As You Like It<\/em> is a full two-hour show with intermission. The play debuts at Trinity United Church on Friday, June 16 at 7pm. Other performances include Saturday, June 17 at 2pm and 7pm and Sunday, June 18 at 2pm. Tickets are only $10 and can be purchased at Treasures and Trophies or online at www.huntsvilletheatre.org. All proceeds go back into the Theatre is My Passion program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have some kids who are brand new to performing and I challenge anyone to try and figure out who they are,\u201d said Rodrigues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
