ISD 279 - Osseo Area Schools Community Education

Drama Kids is offering a class unlike any other. Join in the fun and explore drama by performing in our original one-act plays. You'll be telling tales of mistakes, mishaps, accidents, and ill-fated situations. Create a character in body, voice, and attitude, and be ready to laugh as you try to succeed in your hopeless dilemmas. Everyone gets a part and all experience levels welcome. Join us at the end of the season as we present an evening of unfortunate one-acts, starring the Drama Kids from all over your district. Mark your calendars for Monday, Dec 17th (show times between 4:30-8:30 pm, more information to come).

Madagascar Jr. is the new musical that makes you wanna move it, move it! With the memorable characters of Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the Hippo, and of course, those uproariously plotting penguins, not content to live in blissful captivity, Marty makes his escape to explore the world! The animal kingdom embarks on an unforgettable voyage we won’t soon forget! Madagascar Jr. is a GREAT SHOW for students who enjoy singing, dancing, and creating different characters. It’s also a great opportunity for any student who wants to work together to make something special! Auditions will be held on the first two days of rehearsals (September 11 & 13).
