Theatre Education with Jordyn Jones

weekend I think I said that to Alan too I was like I think this is one that I could have been I would have been fine with us adding one I think everybody kind of felt that way towards the end yeah I mean I would say like I was like Jordan the performer could have done this another weekend but Jordan the education director with summer camps could not have yeah it was done yeah you had a lot going well it was it was a the second act was a lot of dancing a lot of movement and a lot of it was a lot under those

hot lights and then to go out after the show in the hot breeze way to meet everybody it was just so sweaty everywhere how many um cast members were in that show uh 25 yeah because they're there was a lot of people on stage at one time in the bar yeah it was every time we'd go to the bar I'm just like there's nowhere for people to dance no and I feel like they used everybody all the time it was like the same thing during cheeseburger there was one night that I just like whacked Andrew's burger out of his hand because I couldn't get through

to get to the middle that's pretty funny this cheeseburger went flying he just grabbed another one off the table that's good at least we had extras it's like is this your cheeseburger somebody down in the audience is like it's mine it's your burger didn't expect it was gonna feel like that if it's a real one from Wendy's excuse me yep sure enough welcome Jordan Jones to the drama mamas again yes good to be back yeah I'm Kristen I'm Angela I'm Kathy today we have Jordan back with us Jordan Jones yes Jordan Jones voice uh yes the famous um infamous infamous is that a good word

or about I don't know that's I think that's what I'm asking I feel like it depends Billy the kid was infamous mmm yes the kid you can have like famous people that did bad things and they're infamous right oh okay but you can be so just famous just famous I don't know locally it seems like anybody anybody that is asking for voice like it lessons I feel like your name gets thrown in there a lot like I see that on Facebook and yeah people like yeah anybody know any good vocal teachers I was like I know one she's probably full I wish I could take

them all on but actually I am full how many students do you have right now right now I have 31 good golly yep 31 that's a lot 14 of those are Harrison and the rest are private wow on top of your full-time job of yes full-time director I don't think I've been here since it's been official no you haven't that's true on the last time yeah we were like oh I should have you back on to do the announcement about it but it wasn't announced and it wasn't official but yeah yeah so what's your official title I am the education director at Lakeland Community Theater

yeah yeah took over in January yeah doing all sorts of really cool fun things just have completely turned that program on its head and introducing lots of great new opportunities for kids and some you know great classes and yeah all that stuff over the summer that you did was really really cool it's been a lot of fun I I mean I always say I have the best job ever but now it's even more so getting to be in charge of this program with all of our great kids and great teachers great parents it's been great yeah over the summer we had two summer camps we

had I split the age groups this year because it's it's gotten bigger and bigger every year last summer we had 108 kids in our building alone doing rainbow fish and after that we were like never again you know and then and I feel like sometimes too the older kids don't really want to be around the six-year-olds the six-year-olds like they just need to be with their age group so this year I split the age groups and we did a elementary camp in June and then we did the two-week middle and high school camp in July and I wanted to kind of make that middle school

and high school one a little more advanced so I did like an intensive with it where they still did their show in two weeks but we I brought in all these people to do master classes so they had a master class every day except for the first day and the last day so we had all kinds of people people you've had on the podcast we've had both we had bow come in we had jenaya come in um have you guys had cc on no we haven't yet we need to yeah we had cc and she's so busy um ronnie spoto um um who else um

oh you had the dresser we had tyler yes yeah he um he zoom called in with the kids and showed them all these great uh pictures of like beadwork and costumes and oh gosh and all kinds of stuff he did we did a whole presentation over zoom with them and we also had spencer croy zoom call in with them nice and talk to them all about life on broadway yeah spencer who will eventually get on the podcast maybe next spring to go up to new york and meet him we had ronnie did original wait you had didn't orlando do something yes orlando came in and

did like a tech one with them and and brought that's cool we brought the first electric in and brought the light board up on stage and he was having them push the buttons and there was all kinds of stuff happening on the back wall and they're getting to do all the lights it was great because i wanted to have at least one tech one yeah um for the kids who may have an interest in that um so yeah we had ronnie did original broadway cats choreography um cc did an acting workshop on uh from her lightning thief tour that she just did um laura did

all kinds of stuff with quick changes and costumes and stuff and they did um a little competition yeah quick change relay races which was hilarious so much fun they kept the kids kept asking through the like two weeks hey can we do those relay races again i'm like no we gotta get a show up we gotta have other things planned next year and i just don't want to forget anyone that came in so it was laura and ronnie and then cc and then jania and then tyler tyler bow orlando orlando you didn't have them and spencer right yeah so we had eight so we just

didn't do one the first day because of um auditions and then the last day was full run-throughs of the show so right right yeah it was really great they loved it and i came in and did some headshots for all the kids mostly all the kids the ones that somehow mysteriously didn't get pictures that i had to go retake yeah yeah it was kind of weird i don't know what happened but that was great because what a great first headshot for all those kids and um yeah that was awesome for them i'm sure their parents really greatly appreciated yes those and they turned out great

yeah i hope so i hope they like it yeah so will you model it like that again next yeah that was i don't know i mean i definitely still have people on my list that i would love to bring in to work with um with our students i don't know if those will be just like periodically throughout the year or if we'll do that again next summer my brain is not there right why not yeah that's future future use problem right right now i'm worried about out of the box and and getting encore going and classes starting this week and all that so we'll figure

out next summer well closer to that exactly yes we'll ask you again and yes yeah but i was that was a really great opportunity for those kids to like experience a kind of a full range of things yes and a lot of those people that i just mentioned like they got their start at lct so like i mean like spencer grew up in our youth program ronnie beau cc like all of those people grew up on our stage and how cool for our current students to see that and see them and like i said it in my curtain speech like how cool is it that

like maybe someday these kids that are performing this show will be coming back to yeah you know to pay it forward in the future you know totally and it's i think it's inspiring for those kids too can be who they you know they can see them and be like oh my gosh well they started out at lct yeah i can go do the same things that they're doing how inspiring to them i mean i'm inspired by them like yes yeah totally i'm an adult that their dreams are within reach you know it can happen it's not just a you know pie in the sky situation

they work hard and they keep with it you know well that's something that i was we were listening to beau's podcast or podcast with us on the car ride the other day and i thought about beau and how i did not ever realize how outgoing and spunky he was because whenever i saw him in rehearsals i think he's always very quiet very disciplined and it made me realize like what he was saying about listen to everything take notes and all of that like he meant every word of that because that's what he always does when he's in a rehearsal but he's like so outgoing i

was like wow i know he's got this personality they like taught them like you know they did some kind of master class they they would do like like beau did um choreography from two down hot it was his audition choreography that he learned for wagon wheel um that he taught them but then they got to do these q and a's and ask them like anything they wanted to know and you could tell the kids who were um maybe a little more serious about musical theater when they when they would go to lunch break those kids would hang back and ask even more questions nice but

they did they asked them like what their dream role was or like if they ever felt like they had been miscast in a role or a good question you know if they've ever done a quick change like they would ask things like that but sometimes they would ask like um do you have any inspiring words for somebody who's serious about musical theater and like you know it was kind of fun getting to hear them like you know inspire these kids it was great yeah i love it well you're making all of that happen i'm doing my best creating this platform great job yeah yeah and

i'm hoping it's something we can continue and keep building on and bring even more people in i know um the uh i was talking to becky who has a friend or they know someone who is a physical i'm gonna try to get this right is a physical therapist but for singers oh and i'm like that might be i think i'm becky if you're listening i hope i got that right i think that person would be a really cool person to bring in yeah for sure and not even for our youth but just for i know teachers chorus teachers music teachers all around our county yeah

like learn like you know for singers like the physical therapy well especially right now everybody who gets sick like loses their voice it's like you know every every sickness right now like tears up their throat like that's how it's been for barbie it's how it's been for me anytime we catch whatever's going around we end up with this lingering cough and it's like damaging your vocal stuff yeah i think he's out of new york too or something look i'm not her so uh that would be something really cool to bring in or and i know we know some uh some people who have connections with

cruise lines and things like that and i'm hoping those are all things we can continue with our education committee to um keep bringing about the theater to keep educating everyone yeah yeah well because you know too like the kids don't know all of the different things that they could do with musical theater they're all thinking well it's broadway right it's broadway but it's not there's touring there's cruise lines there's theme parks there's yes so so much yeah and especially being right here in central florida with the theme parks too i mean oh yeah we have so many friends who just do legoland you know and

and disney and you know there's plenty plenty of opportunities yeah sea world bush gardens universal universal's new park whenever that opens yeah yeah oh they have a new park opening yeah they're supposed to be opening on the other the opposite side of by four oh something over there cool oh yeah you just sent me a tiktok on that last night didn't you i might have i think you did i don't know oh wait area area 51 i may have sent it to everybody i think you sent me something but i don't actually remember what i sent i'm gonna look late night tiktok yeah well that's

what it is i'm just like i see i'm i'm trying to get my brain to just turn off so i can go to sleep you sent it to me last night at 9 30 okay and i even liked it yeah well great i haven't been back on today i still have a tiktok to watch that you sent last night jordan i think there's a certain to the group text there's a certain point where i just like the phone goes over here yeah yeah oh that was a really funny one i sent last night something about theater for youth when you're yes yes i was like

this is exactly what's the end of a theater for youth rehearsal looks like the accuracy i mean you sent me you sent me a few that were kind of in that same vein it was you know very theater-esque the stage manager one i think you sent me when stage managers and the directors are sitting back watching the first run run through their stumble through that look familiar area 15 that's the one she sent me on yeah that seems right as it comes rushing no not really rushing this is more of a drip of familiarity going through the sludge under the influence to talking at night

listen hey whatever gets you through yeah there's no judgment look i get to the end of the day and my hips are killing me and i just take a gummy and go to bed and it is fantastic thanks dr sayler shout out shout out to dr sayler and pj oh yeah and pj and pj he's been working hard this weekend because we're moving and i know you sent that video to the group and you were like it's a uh shenanigans or whatever like so much fun only it didn't look like it was fun for pj no poor pj no but you know the kids have

been great max you know he's 13 but what this summer he's just kind of coming to his own he's getting taller like he's just becoming this man child now and he can lift things which is awesome kathy's like i'm out check me out and then gabby's like i want to do something why do i always have to do it because you know she's holding back with me and we're packing and we're doing little boxes and stuff and she's like why does everybody just assume that boys can lift more than girls and i'm like because they can right now at your age like you are also

just let them yeah she's like this women come on girl also just let them let's work for you girl i want to ride in the moving truck so we met them at storage that was when i sent that shenanigan photo um anyway yeah the kids were having a blast yeah pj was pushing them in the cart at the storage place dot dot dot yeah but anyway so she was happy because she got to ride in the moving truck and then max came in my car so that made her day she actually just sent me a video of her closet that's empty so that's wonderful good

anyway i don't know how we got on pj but um there's the squirrel yep then squirrel all the time yeah i could i could get you there alex and i used to play a game because we would just be talking about one thing and all of a sudden we i don't know where another subject came up and we'd go how did you get there wait i know and i can like trace in your mind what you were thinking that led you down that path to talk about oh that's that's one of my favorite tick tocks to watch when people are like this is what it's

like to have adhd and they give you a tour of what's just happened in the last three hours and yeah how it jumps from thing to thing so then i found this and i opened the drawer and the drawer has a thing so then i had to go fix the thing but then i didn't i didn't have a screwdriver so i had to go over here and when i went to grab the screwdriver i saw this thing was broken so i had to then i went you know or i saw that i had underwear here i meant to fold and put away so i start

to do that and then i get there and it's just this whole thing this whole thing three hours worth of um squirreling on tiktok i saw her do that and it was all in the beginning she was going to go to the kitchen and make coffee but then she realized a few of them like this yes and they're some of my favorites to watch because i'm like girl i understand the whole time i'm doing stuff in the house i'm going remember you're doing this right now yes i know we see that we gotta keep doing this do this first we can maybe combine these two

but like because they're proximity to each other but we gotta focus just focus it's the self-talk yes like the whole time i'm like come on we can do this we could do this yeah yeah and that's stupid squirrel brains for us like moving right now we're trying to stay focused like we have the dumpster to throw stuff out at at the house at the in the garage or the driveway and then we have the moving truck and then we have our cars you haven't thrown out any legos right no okay just making sure no and he's got star wars ewok stuff that is in the

storage unit right now that we moved yesterday i know chris's like chris's ears just yeah he's star wars star trek and legos yeah pretty much it i think and he's got he-man star wars and legos all kinds of stuff like stealing boxes because his mom would purchase things are you keeping all your reindeer absolutely not yeah the reindeer are gonna go to storage until we figure out what we're gonna do with that you better put them out this year i yeah are you ever going to put them out i don't well i mean we downsize dramatically so i don't do they go in are they

yard reindeer is what they are no they're they're supposed they're like great collectibles that you're supposed to like put out in your house like a shelf or a curio or whatever how big are they again we have like 75 of them um they're reindeer well they're they're part of like the rudolph collectible village oh it sounds like rudolph yeah i'm like yeah i've been there done that right there miniature theater up with you know whatever the boxes themselves are like probably 12 12 by 12 like okay whatever and so there's a couple pieces in each box okay yeah and we have so 75 reindeer yeah

in the house in the house and half of them merry christmas i hope you like reindeer there you go yeah we just never heard that story right how we got that do i need to retell that story i think yeah maybe maybe maybe you should because it's kind of funny yeah all right we'll do a quickie version okay although it's coming for me so yeah so that's the short story long okay so peter and i first got together we we were married no kids yet staying in this little townhome type situation and he grew up his mom is very much a collectible person she likes

knickknacks i'm not a big like tchotchke person so i don't really have any collectibles but whatever pj his favorite season is christmas so i'm like what a great christmas present his birthday is in january right after it this will be great so i went ahead and i got him it was online it's like the rudolph collection or whatever i thought it would be like three or four boxes that come and life is good right so you pay and these things just get delivered well lo and behold to me every month you get a new box okay a new styrofoam box forever reindeer of the month

yes it is a reindeer of the month some people like cheese of the month it's much more fun this is rudolph collectible of the month okay well december's box came oh it's christmas this is wonderful we open it he loves it january comes it's his birthday opens it he loves it february comes here's another one march comes here's not peter's like when are these gonna stop i said i don't know babe they've they've got to be stopping soon like this is crazy you know oh no it went on and on and on i mean like cancel your subscription i did eventually eventually after she had

75 reindeer yes well because and the thing about it your face it kind of works like if you guys have ever had bark box and we have similar happened with us it's a year subscription and you can't cancel it in the middle of your year i mean you can but it's not going to take to effect like we've already tried to cancel bark box because we have like literally 45 dog toys in our house right now that we found because you know we're moving so they're everywhere no more yearly subscriptions yes yeah you've learned your lesson now right have we i'm not sure we have

i don't know because i did the bark box after the rudolph so maybe not but anyway so um it took a while for it to cancel and whatever but every month we were being charged i'm sorry pj and um yeah so we have probably 75 of those little boxes that we we just stopped opening them like once they started coming they worth something like beanie babies or something like can you get some probably not i don't i don't know we haven't yeah facebook marketplace we probably could maybe on ebay but i haven't looked to see because again i have no knowledge of like the collectible

world you could use them to decorate the glass lounge for oh yeah yeah happy happy we you know what that's a fantastic idea we may just have to donate them you've seen the green room right i don't need another box in there no true that yeah no it's okay we will you can donate them to use them and then we'll take them back that'll be fine although i am finding lots of things we're gonna scroll here for a second like that i feel like i could donate to lct i have like cute little like sandals and shoes that i bought for like a wedding that

i've never worn again that may be you know what i mean like stuff like that so yeah yeah yeah i mean they're worn once oh i got to see the costume area at harrison like all the like where the magic happens i've never been in there you haven't been in there there's like a lot of really pretty dresses and fabric and stuff back in their storage area yeah i'm sure cc is amazing yeah he does all that that's pretty yeah i was like oh look at this dress it's so pretty i can't wait to see what she does with these cinderella costumes oh i know

oh yeah she was giving us the tour of that they're really cool the transformation dress is really neat during um because i was there for auditions and callbacks and so she had shown me a couple of her ideas that were like in her like cart um that she obviously hadn't bought yet but um yeah i'm excited she does such great costume work i can't wait to see what everything has like a color theme so for this character it's you know whatever color they're blue or green yeah exactly but she was showing us the transformation dress it's not quite done it's in progress but it was

enough that you could see the flip and see it happen oh nice yeah so it'll be that kind because they don't have like like when we talked with laura about the transformation dress that happened with lct when they did cinderella there was the trap door she always tells that story about having to be cousin it on the stage look for the dress pull it down in the fog um yeah that was like a shredding or a shedding dress right this is one that has to flip oh cool because they don't have like they don't have a door right or different not like elsa no it's

not a spin where she pulls the string and it flips yeah yeah so there's no extra pieces that have to go flying off like like pinky's transformation dress had to have that piece ripped off tossed off stage right but hers will just pull if it's kind of like how they did it on i think so you can find clips online of that it's like a she kind of like pulls a string and it flips it out yeah and kind of rolls out okay well maybe i'll wait to watch that till after i see it have you ever had any of those kinds of transformations on

stage no no you want them though right they sound stressful i mean i would love yeah that would be cool i want to play elsa she would have said no again i mean i played cinderella yeah how did your dress work back then did you not transform oh wait this was a gj right so i i cinderella was my first show ever um and it was in eighth grade and so i had my rags and then we like brought the curtain in and there was like lights on the curtain for the transformation and what i did is i exited and i took the rags off

but i put this like cape on that had the material of my dress like sewn to the bottom so it looked like i had the dress on under the cape um and like we switched my hair in that like period of music that was there um and then when i came off then there was like more time so then i took the cape off and actually put the dress on and entered so it wasn't really it was fake yeah it wasn't like wasn't transform yes transformation but and i always get mad but that's fine it was eighth grade i thought it was gj for some

reason pink my dress was pink wait what blue like a baby blue that's what i wanted i wanted the brandy cinderella dress oh hello yes let's talk about brandy cinderella cinderella is like one of my favorite movies of all time i know we all had to come over here and watch it and we were so just and that was some 90s spectacularness it is so good i would watch it every day sparkles and it's kind of full circle do you remember yes i do it's magic i would watch that every day as a child like my dad because it was on like abc family video

night or something on tv and my dad recorded it onto the vhs tape for me and i would watch it commercials and all yeah and then there was this like moulin on ice with michelle kwan as mouyan and so he recorded that right after it so i would sit in front of the tv and watch the brandy cinderella and then moulin on ice and still right before summer camp right before you went to soccer there's like glaring clues everywhere yeah exactly i'm like she's like where's my fairy godmother yes but then it kind of was full circle because that was the first role i played

yeah yeah my dress which is kind of cool which my mom and i went out and bought like i remember like we went shopping in orlando and like found my pink ball gown i still have it in the closet at my house oh i want to see it yeah it's in there big poofy pink did they tell you to get pink or you just it's just he just said find whatever you can find and i was like mom it needs to be blue and she was like no it'll be pink you took your mom who knows nothing about the theater yes okay that's pretty fun

it was beautiful but it wasn't blue like it should have been looked more like sleeping beauty than right yes that's true that is her color was the animated cinderella was her dress pink in that well it's or was she no it's blue the mice it's white and blue oh yeah and it gets ripped apart and then fair godmother makes her blue okay it's kind of blue and white right like the little hip poofs were white yes yes and then she had yeah but brandy's that like off the shoulder was that a chef's kiss right there you were like brandy's dress it was so beautiful was

she blue huh she was blue yeah i i only saw that movie once yeah we were all talking the whole time yeah this wasn't super intensive i definitely didn't hold it in memory i was thinking it was white for some reason it was blue and then her wedding dress was white i could see how you would think it was white because it was a super pale it's like a pale blue sparkly okay yeah but i could see how you would think it was white yeah it's just my flawed memory is all it is i know you're really thinking about that yeah it's like straight up

doing my entire resume right now because they did little women last year and then now they're doing cinderella and then in the spring they're doing footloose so i'm like y'all just need to throw seven brides seven brothers in there and you've got like my entire i've made your shows i know crazy but this will be fun these things are cyclical you know right those shows tend to be like tyler campbell are you just reading my resume and then submitting that in there we'll have to ask him i've never seen the musical footloose it's fine me neither but i've seen the movie but that's we did

that i actually don't think i've seen the movie like fully there's two sacrilege what yes they made another they made a new one with um julianne huff yeah but you gotta go with the kevin baker yeah oh yes yeah like i've seen clips of it i've not seen the whole thing that the remake of it was the last movie i ever saw at that like mugs and movies place oh that's all boarded up now yeah i think that was the last movie i saw there i mean to be fair i didn't see julianne huff's version so i don't want to throw any shade her way

she's probably fantastic but she's i was born in the 70s i'm a kevin bacon fan you know i mean i've seen both but the musical is very fun it's a lot of dance yeah yeah poverty's like i just want to be a part of it i just want to be a part of it i don't care what it is i just want to be a part of it there's a song in it called um somebody's eyes that the four girls sing together in like really great harmony it's so fun yeah very fun it'll be very pretty and you've got i need a hero and i

hope harrison still needs uh needs mentors so i can participate in another show there right yeah this one's been really really fun actually i'm sure they'll have you back why would you know that would be awesome i mean presumably we're training up our stage manager right kids so that they can do that yeah well maybe they'll need some more assistance you know yeah maybe i'm hoping they they just need us for something i don't care what as long as we come back as long as it doesn't conflict with mean girls because i need y'all for that oh we're in well that's the summer yeah that

yeah it shouldn't because mean girls will be in june yeah the summer or the spring shows like spring should be fine yeah should be how are things going with honk at lct uh yeah as far as i hear honk is going really well um they i think they have a sits probe coming up um on wednesday so music's going well um they've started staging and everything so that show is in october first weekend of october so it's going to be they're using tracks yeah okay doing tracks free just music directing nice um so yeah that cute show yeah it should be really cute they have

done such good work with our um teen drama class like their showcase performance this past year at showcase was like the best teen drama like we have seen in years like she really has done good work with those kids nice and they all really like her and um i mean she was our our bell and beating the beast she was miss honey and uh matilda so she's she just works really well with kids she's a disney princess so i think yeah yeah she really is and kerrigan is choreographing that oh it'll be her big choreo debut at lct so nice really excited about a new

fresh like production team for that one so i mean we love our regular people too but excited for these people to have an opportunity yeah um so yeah she did really great with the choreo this summer and the camps and everything so she was just in she did uh she was choreographing one of the numbers for cinderella and harrison yes gosh she is like yeah kerrigan she came in and all of these girls are not all dancers like some of them are but most of them that she was working with for this particular scene they're just they're they're from all over because it's the all-school

musical right so you don't have to be a musical theater to do it and most of these girls are not and kerrigan worked with all of them she did they i mean it was amazing wow and also where did kerrigan learn all of this stuff she's just great yeah i'm telling you what she's so good we just need to have her on and ask her yes she's great it's such a blessing for our community that she graduated from harrison and is staying local like that doesn't usually happen these kids from harrison usually go off somewhere but she's staying local and getting her degree in musical

theater at florida southern and so she's teaching class for us she's choreographing for us like it's so nice to have her talent still yeah in the area so we can use that up she's wonderful yeah she's a great mentor her and uh uh elena stayed local right does elena do anything with the like lct yet no i tried to get her to teach one of the classes but it just didn't work out with her schedule i also think she may have switched to finance oh right right so i don't think she's pursuing gosh she's just so talented too super talented too but yeah kerrigan is

actually taking over all of the classes that i used to teach at lct now that i'm in this new role i'm not going to teach class anymore but um so she's taking on the broadway babies class and the elementary musical theater which actually that elementary musical theater class hit capacity within a matter of days so the tuesday class so it hit 25 kids and locked like within a matter of days so we actually added a second session of it on fridays that has some spots still available it's i think it's already over nine or ten or something too so that's great super popular and so

she's teaching all those i'm she's so great with the littles so i'm really excited that she's teaching all those elementary classes she's she's just really great overall though did those start already they start this coming week so we start the day after labor day but you still have openings and some of them yes so um there's still a couple spots in broadway babies which is the kindergarten and first graders and then the friday elementary class which is um second through fifth grade and then we still have space in um musical theater dance that preston teaches on thursdays and i think there's maybe two spots left

and kayla's teen drama class on thursdays as well um so almost all of them are getting close to compact capacity but um still a couple spots in there anyone listening wants to get their kids involved yes yeah and there's scholarships too that cover some of that so if you have issues well our scholarship fund is only for summer camps oh okay um not so much with class we can't we can't it it stinks we i want that's something we also need to grow i think uh maybe through our evening by the lake or something that that scholarship fund to also cover yes some of the

classes fundraising events yes um but if anyone's interested in a scholarship for summer camp next year you can email me and i can get you the application for that um yeah we just don't have yeah for fall classes we got to build that up so you've got uh then the encore program too right now yes and that's already out of yes i'm so excited about that encore is like my new passion project um i grew up going to when i went to georchingans i was in golden harmony which was our show choir and i lived and breathed that every day of my life um i

was the first freshman to ever be in that group and so i did it all four years of high school and we performed everywhere it was like glee nice i mean we had uh we actually had a class period that was like seventh period was golden harmony period and i would go there every day have golden harmony and we would also have after school rehearsals and then we performed i mean we'd have we call them world tour days where we would perform at like six different places in one day and stuff and i mean all of my like most favorite memories are from like choke

my show choir days so i wanted to reach our more advanced kids um i feel like sometimes we have kids who stop taking class with us because they feel like they've maybe leveled out of what we can offer them being an after-school program and having to teach to our lowest level you know sometimes these kids feel like okay well we're doing the same thing we did last year in this class you know unfortunately due to our space we can't have more levels of classes it's my dream to have like an acting one two three four and you get leveled into it every year and you

keep building but we just don't have the like the space capacity to do that um so i wanted to target those more advanced kids who have been in the shows who have been at camp who have taken classes in the past and give them a place to continue to grow and develop um but also hit um our community outreach within that same group because we get we get hit up all the time like hey do you have a group of kids that can come sing at this can you send a group to sing at this or whatever and um usually we don't because you know

people are they're working or they're in school or they we're in like show process and like we can't just like take the whole cast to do something you know on the fly so this group is going to be that group that's like a group of ambassadors that go out for the community for our theater for the community um and perform at things like hopefully like mayfair and um they have they already have two gigs on the schedule um the lakeland music club and they're performing at the platform arts kids that we did this past year um at the children's museum hoping to get a couple

christmas gigs lined up um if anyone listening would like this group to come perform for you hit up my email jordanlct gmail.com um we'll get them uh join in with a y yes join in with a yes um we would love to come perform for you i know we're going to probably use this group to go sing some thank you grams for our sponsors um and let them know that we really appreciate what they do for our theater um and i i know we got to get some christmas gigs on there because those are the most fun oh yeah i know one of our parents

is trying to get us out at christmas lane um in plant city i think it's like at the strawberry festival like oh nice which would be a really great gig for us i just want these kids out in the community and like people need to know that we exist you know like so many times um people think the polk theater or theater winter haven and it's like no like we have a place right here not that those places aren't great i mean we love theater winter haven and the polk theater and everything but we have such a great theater right there and lake mirror you

know um that people don't realize it's there and i want to get us out in the community plus it's so good for the kids too like yes it gives them such a good experience and exposure and like so yeah that's my passion project my goal like so we do we have 24 kids we had a really nice turnout for auditions narrowed it down to 24 kids and i was looking at it the other day and we have a perfect like 12 and 12 split if i split it right down the middle like the older kids are 13 and up and then the younger kids are

12 and uh 12 to 9 9 is our youngest um so i'm hoping we can have like an older kid number and a younger kid number and they can combine and do numbers together and everything will be choreographed and it'll be super fun it is gonna be i'm also hoping to do a little mentor thing with like they have a big and a little or something so they have a buddy yeah yeah i'm super excited about it i would love to like eventually grow and like take them to competitions oh yeah things too but i have to remind myself this is like the first year

baby plans i feel like i have so many plans i would love to take them to compete and and do things like that too and make it like a competition plus outreach kind of group like junior thespians well yeah that's kind of what we talked about last year it was an ensemble type stuff yeah you know those things though i think are like i i just don't know how yet i have to do some research myself and figure out how to get our program involved in those right because i feel like when you're in a school setting those things are kind of lined out for

you you know when you have those resources but being a community theater i don't know what we're allowed to participate in or how we go about getting involved in those things so it's just a little more research that i need to do um for the future because i think i want to keep yeah getting us out there and getting these kids experience especially since there are more advanced kids who who really uh need that you know yeah yeah when i know how much our kids have enjoyed the competition yes it's a lot of i mean billy kate's so excited about competition season yeah and i

think it's good too because then it it gets you outside of your bubble yeah and then you start to see like where am i in the talent realm like in the state of florida or whatever like how do i compare you know you don't want to compare but like you know what i mean yeah you want to see where you're at and like you may go to one of those competitions and see somebody sing a song and you're like oh wow i've never heard that before i'm gonna steal that song you know you get so much exposure to things and to other people and you

get to go to those master classes and learn so much meet awesome people like tyler from wicked yes yeah so um i want to bring that to these kids too you know because some of them i mean some of our kids like they go to rochelle or they go to harrison and they have that with their school but we have plenty of kids who don't go to schools for the arts you know that that don't have a program within their school that does that so like let's give them that experience through lct you know yeah so well the interesting thing to think about as a

parent so you have a kid who's interested in theater but is also interested in finance well they're going to have an opportunity through college to get you know the finance stuff but if they like this they're going to gain like all the things that you can gain by being involved in the arts at all you know that you're not going to get just going for your financing like it's nice to have somewhere that trains you in the arts because that opens your your world up in a whole other way yes so many additional life skills that you're going to learn yeah the arts and how

to deal with people and how to communicate and just working with different directors or different teachers yeah or being involved in because it's like this is community theater being involved in community theater and all the connections and things that you make there like that's priceless honestly absolutely yes so yeah i'm super excited about encore yeah future i know we even talked the other day they're all going to get a matching t-shirt but bernadette and i are also trying to figure out how we can like fundraise and like and and maybe get them like matching dresses like uniforms like so they have like their casual look

and they're like formal look for certain performances and stuff um just send me a link you know hopefully we can do some like fundraising and stuff to help offset the costs and you know because yeah they can be pricey depending on what you get and stuff so and we didn't like talk about that before we right auditioned all these people too so we want to keep it fair with that you know that wasn't a thing we mentioned beforehand so yeah really kate did a show choir at florida southern florida southern girls choir and they had to yeah she did not enjoy it oh no no

but they had to have these black formal dresses which they didn't tell us that in the beginning which you know not a big deal whatever we'll buy the dress it was like 90 bucks yeah well then she outgrew it by the end of the semester so then we had to buy another one because they handmade these dresses oh god just go on right pick out a dress yeah oh see when i was when i was when i was in golden harmony we were like red our color was red and red and sparkles and um every year we would or you know we would go to

buy our dresses they would have discontinued the style so so those of us that were returning had the dress but anyone who was new to the group did not have a dress so then we were like and it wasn't gonna match but yeah now you have to change every single year that i was in golden harmony we had a new dress dress and then luckily the one my last one they they kept and so um i was able to like sell my dress to an incoming person like but that's like if they fit the same right size and everything luckily i was able to sell

my dress but now i'm kind of like oh i wish i wouldn't have it i know costume parade like the process process what did i mean to say i don't know costumes i have a lot of my old costumes that's what it could be like the museum broadway where they have like different costume displays that's how you decorate your vocal room right like yeah yeah yes someday someday someday you just get the mannequins and just i got the car now i gotta get the house so that i can right that's right it's a progression almost there that was the new car by the way are

you loving it so good yes anita named her scarlet o'cara yes i never thought i would go with red because i mean like in my everyday life i'm a very bright colorful person but when it comes to cars i like i'm just like basic like i want white or you know black my last car was black you know and i told first thing i told my mom when we went car shopping i was like i don't want red i don't want blue i don't want green i don't want any color i just want white silver black something like that i ended up with a red

car but it was just luck of the draw it was a good deal and it's growing on me oh i love it it's so pretty she does look pretty on the driveway you can totally make it golden harmony come back oh yeah you just need to add some sparkle spray that you can spray on your tires and it's sparkly spray really what okay i'm getting used to the red that stretcher too far it may but it's no it's great and it has lots of space so i can if i need to i know it's a pretty big upgrade in size oh my gosh especially my

my little sonata but my little sonata that the alarm would just go off all the time we'd be in rehearsal and honking i hear your horn honking yeah it was so funny when we went to trade it with my uh to get the new car um the whole way there my mom and i were riding in the sonata and we're going okay don't talk the entire time we're signing paperwork just be quiet no talking or whatever until we get everything signed and then you can go off you know and we sat in there doing paperwork and my mom and i would just be like we

don't hear anything we don't hear anything we don't hear anything and we made it through last paper sign beep beep not my problem she was quiet she behaved so oh i don't know what that's all about that's interesting very strange in my pocket yeah but it's so much they have to be used to that that kind of surprise right like as a car dealership and you're taking in a train like it there what was it was your white car wasn't it babe that the the one that went bloop bloop bloop bloop all the time and and the wheel was about to fall off like literally

it was like as we're like driving in and it and it and it the way that it had he had to drive it it was not a stick shift kind of car right no clutch but in order to get it to go you had to just have the right combination of brake pedal and gas at the same time to get it to start the roll and yeah i remember like you traded that one in to get the neon and you were just shocked that it made it yes so i guess my sonata was actually a boy but um but when i first got the sonata

it was in 2011 i got in 2013 and i drove it up to jacksonville for my last semester um at ju and the bit that same day i went to go see a production of mystery of evan drood and there was a character named durdles and it was the most precious little man that played it and i was like that's gonna be the name of my car so turtles so my plan was to wait and you know whatever show that i see next you know i would name my car after that but i was like it's gonna be honk what am i gonna name it

ugly you know yeah ugly so um we were i came in or i was at out of the box and you guys came in for um nonsense rehearsal and anita was there and she was like oh it could be scarlet o'cara and i was like that's it that's the name so she feels like a scarlet she does very much so yeah she's red and sassy oh my gosh that's awesome we have all these wonderful life things that are going on you know we love that for you we just we're here we're cheering you on girl we are in your corner thanks but so after happy

elf we have mean girls yeah next summer for the what are the auditions for that april april i just had it pulled up i think april 27th yep april 27th that saturday that'll be here before we know it honestly do they put an age on that not yet okay gotcha i guess i have to figure that out yeah that's you that's you yeah part of that new job you're directing that one yeah i'm directing yeah yes so yeah um happy elf is october 14th and then um mean girls auditions are april 27th guys that's gonna be here before we know that's what i just said

yeah like it's because every time it flies by so fast but then there's also other opportunities for kids to this season at lct with um big we'll have some kids in that and then next summer right after mean girls is school of rock which is a bunch of kids who all have to play instruments so um i know i was like oh parvati you should probably pull your guitar back out or your keyboard i don't know um i'll have to ask alan what the age range for that one is too because um we'll have to see because with the mean girls and school of rock

is that going to pull some of the same kids will they have conflicts and things like that like what's that going to look so gotcha but lots of opportunities and then i'm planning to do a spring break camp so that'll happen the week of spring break if anyone's looking for something for their kids to do that week um i'm hoping to maybe do like a show in one week with that um but we'll have to see i'm my wheels are already turning with that one your wheels turn a lot don't they yeah it seems like they have to well because like you got to get

them the information out there early you know yeah so people can be aware of it was my original plan to roll out spring break camp with the uh fall classes but yeah it just didn't happen yeah no well people aren't there yet right they're not ready to sign up let's get through christmas yeah yeah so we'll get that they'll be looking come january so we'll get that spring break stuff figured out soon um and then we'll have camps again next summer whatever that looks like so there's always stuff going on at lct for kids um yeah yeah and volunteering if they're not in the show

they can right yeah also that well they so i thought it was like 200 hours to graduate it's not it's 100 okay yeah i got that correction from michaela oh that's like because i think we had recently said something on the podcast it's not 200 hours yeah one summer camp yeah one summer exactly or volunteer for one main stage and you'll have your almost absolutely yeah and i know jackie they're looking for a spot she reached out to me yesterday let's see if max could pick up it was like one evening the 15th yes yeah and i told i asked max and he was like

i already told you i need a break i was like okay like you know good for him knowing at that age already to like set boundaries oh max has no problem doing that yeah yeah like try something else yeah mom he's like not doing it i already told you he gave me the look like why are you even asking right we've been over this before no means no mom i uh so i had our texts all lined up and then that one that's doing that spot she's like oh hey i have this conflict now i didn't realize i have this thing my parents told me

and i'm like okay we'll still take you we'll just have to figure out that one date so we tried to find somebody before we handed the show off to jackie and um i thought we had it and then we didn't have it but i was i had a message like queued up and i was gonna send it to you and i like backed out of all of it and i went to laura and i was like i can't ask again i already asked max and it was a clear no and i just feel bad sending the second text and she's like it's fine don't send

it we'll we'll find somebody so we haven't yet but i'm sure we will yeah it's all it's one day you could have totally said what day of the week is it no i just i didn't what what day is it september 15th yeah it's a friday yeah the 15th it's a friday the second uh weekend of shows okay yeah we do want to go see it i need to figure out is it kid friendly or is it nonsense yeah yeah it's totally fine okay perfect basically the premise of the the show for anybody who hasn't like you know gone to do anything at all but

nonsense um it's these nuns they were off somewhere and they came back to discover that their whole like parish of 52 nuns had died from eating vichy swa soup um that sister julia child of god um has had made it was the whole thing during rehearsals anyway i just did the the catholic cross probably backwards i don't know um it's left is it left yeah left i know that because i just did sister yeah you you've done it's not your first time being a nun right yeah no but you've done other nun shows besides even sister act haven't you no just the track oh you're

thinking of maureen maureen and anita they that might be it yeah oh yeah yeah yeah but but it's left so they they come home to discover 52 of their fellow nuns had died and um through some miracle uh they end up with a money windfall that helps them to bury the nuns and it would have buried all of them except for reverend mother decided to go buy a plasma tv which dates the show so we changed it for ours and it's a home theater system so just a little more vague but sounds big so they were left with four nuns left in the freezer that

they have to figure out how to bury oh my god and so they're brought like throwing this benefit and that's what you're watching is this benefit okay and they're trying to raise the money to to clean out the freezer because there's dead nuns in their freezer because there's dead nuns in the freezer and the health inspector doesn't know yeah that's a problem is sister julia child is she one of them that passed no well that's kind of suspect she didn't eat the soup uh she mysteriously disappears from the stage when the bag of drugs appears that gets reverend mother high at the end of act

one which is hilarious by the way oh wow i feel like this is a layered show yes it is it is uh it's very interesting anyway i don't want to give away too much but like yeah i probably have given away more than i should have the next two weekends the eighth and the yeah they're in tech now so yeah yeah it's a cute show yeah yeah yeah saturday i think we were talking about saturday they're both saturday nights yeah we'll come see you yeah come see me come volunteer yeah put you on concessions or something not parking do it no not do anything but

parking it's always everyone's favorite that was pj's first because it's hot and it's florida and it's pavement and just sucks out there and he was like yeah that'll be great i'll go do parking how bad can this be i was like oh yeah you get like a little vest or something dad and he was like i don't need a vest so he just goes out there and he thought it was going to be great super easy boy was he surprised yep he's like kathy i got this list and people are telling me that they're supposed to be parking in these like coned off parking spots

there's like six of them or whatever he's like and people are telling me they're on the list they're not on the list i can't give them the spot what am i gonna do the list is only for season ticket holders don't you have to like call and reserve it call and reserve it yeah well and that you know depending on what's going on there there's a bunch of venues right there so those sometimes i know that parking fills up i mean that's public parking so yeah sometimes we can't get the cones out there yeah yeah i mean i've learned that yeah you gotta get them

out early yeah but like if there's i mean one day there's like a huge wedding reception in the auditorium that started at like two o'clock and the shows i don't get there until 5 30 yes and they're not moving yeah no yeah they're there so people bring in big trucks and they just barbecue right there yeah have you seen that yes they'll take up like 30 spots like what is happening we were there for the volunteer event and i have a story to tell you later i can't speaking of i can't right now congratulations to your families and all your awards that you got oh

outfit the wig yeah i was like oh wait a minute steven yeah wow that's some good costume yeah no kidding of course we were in the back row too yes did you ever blast it on no she didn't have her strap on oh you don't have a strap i got yelled at by lily kate for wearing your strap on in public not wear that in public pretty much what she told me speaking of my dad i loved the podcast last week um with him and um talking about out of the box and all i know i'm excited to read our books that we just got

oh my gosh that i well of course i like cried my eyes out listening to that podcast because it was just so sweet but um the i'm so excited about our continuing our partnership with out of the box and um his classes writing scripts for me and everything um he this week he sent me some of their first drafts to read nice there's some changes that have to be made but for the most part they're super cute i'm really excited about it it's gonna be such a cute show that'll be in november yes i just hit me that's and that will be here before we

know it too that really will be and it's such a cute show to go see i love going to see i i'm always bummed whenever there's like a scheduling conflict and i'm like i can't see this one yeah that's the weekend going into thanksgiving so the 17th and 18th okay um so it'll be after mystery revenue it'll be after cinderella after matilda yeah yeah october yeah we'll be there for sure to help out yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you and pj are never not helping me again like i need that nurse i need nurse on call yeah dr paul yeah yeah we got it well

it just makes me like gives me a little peace of mind like we have all of our special i know we said that we were committed to the one in may and then like stuff got in the way and so we weren't able to do that but there shouldn't be any well i'll check our calendar for that when did you say the 17th 17th and 18th and a couple of our members um have actually expressed interest in teching oh yeah versus being on oh it's right before fall break yeah we're good i will probably put some of those members with you guys helping definitely so

yeah we can mentally so much yes it'll be fun i mean they're very excited about it so i i talked to them uh last week about the script and what it's about and they are just like so excited they think the turkey on the loose is like the funniest thing ever so um we don't have class um tomorrow because of labor day but i'm hoping we'll have scripts and everything ready to go next monday so we can start that rehearsal process and get them rotating and learning all their stuff and yeah it was really fun this past week um because we kind of what we

do is like freedom will take we do this before we cast every show with out of the boxes freedom will take a rotation to do music alana will take one to read through the script or not read through the script but a script something that we find some kind of scene work and then i'll take a rotation to do like a short little dance movement kind of thing with them and then we kind of see where everyone's strengths strengths are so that when we go to um cast a show we know well this person's a really good mover this person's a really good speaker you

know this person can handle memorization things like that so it helps us cast a show once we see where everybody's levels are um but i i had done for encore auditions i did a fun dance combo to um larger than life from um it was the backstreet boys song yeah the ann juliette version of it so then i took that and just kind of simplified it a little bit for out of the box and that was my dance rotation last day love that they were like this is the backstreet boys like they knew the music so much more than the teenager or you know the

kids did from um for encore i guess just generational you know yeah but they were like but this doesn't sound like the backstreet boys and i'm like it's not it's the it's the broadway cast of and juliette and so then i had to explain that but it's like a jukebox musical with all different kinds of songs in it and they were like that's cool like they were really into it and so we i had them like acting like uh boy band dancers up there it was so much fun oh my gosh i want to just go watch they read the scene they read with alana

was um they read the commercials from the ever after oh yeah a camp show oh wow so like see harmony and godmother godmother and like those those were the scenes they read with her which she said they just thought were super funny too so nice it was yeah we had a really fun class last week but do you have a lot of new members this year we actually do we really do i think we're about um like 45 members in each class plus um i've got a ton of tks right now we have like 16 tks in the 530 class wow i think it really

helped i i um zoom called with my dad's three eighth grade classes um was that last week i don't remember um but i zoom called in with them and talked to them about out of the box and what it is to be a tk and i set those expectations before they showed up and said this is what you're getting yourself involved in you know like you know you're not going to come and just sit together and play on your phones you're going to you know be involved with the members encouraging them helping them with their lines you know making them stand up and dance with

you and doing things like that and i tell you what i've got some really good new tks it's really nice yeah there's like 16 of them in the 530 i can't remember how many i have in the first one but pretty close and there's multiple that are doing both sessions this year that's so yeah yeah we're at about i think 45 members in each okay yeah and i know a couple people who are regular members that we have they have school conflicts and things this year so they're not doing it the in the fall but they're joining us again in the spring okay so some

of our like younger members but because they're like in high school right yeah yeah yeah one thing we learned from them when we were with them last i guess spring would have been as there's quite a few that do multiple activities they do sports oh yeah they're yeah special well yeah the special olympics kids we had a huge conflict with that in the spring because of um the state special olympics got rescheduled because of a hurricane last year i don't remember what hurricane it was ian was it i don't remember those eye ones man they're all the same yeah it's bad but like the end

of september so the state special olympics date got changed and it ended up being the same weekend as out of the box so we had a huge schedule issue with that last year because so many of them they bowl and they play pickleball and they i mean they cheerlead they they all i mean like they're busy every time they're out of the box they're like we got dance next and so they're like they're leaving me to go to dance class right after you know like what did you do this weekend oh we bowled we did this we did that i mean they they have uh

billy he loves golf you know yeah i ran into one that worked at grillsmith the other day yes yeah and a lot of a couple of them work at publix oh yeah i did actually see yeah they're busy busy busy busy yeah but man do they love them so lct and we love them yeah what's not to love about that program they have such a blast there every week and then they put on this amazing show i'm telling you this turkey show is gonna be funny i can't wait i was reading through it the the chicken scene it's pretty good all right that's a good

i'll give you a little all right of the names of the chickens the name is like little nugget oh eeny meeny miny and moe or something like his students are so creative and like how they write these but and then they're doing like the chicken dance the disguise i cannot wait it reminds me of the lifeguard scene yeah from jillian's island which hilarious so um super excited about that yeah and it's really cool too when they all come together as a community because they get to see each other so like they may not see each other and then like they probably all summer and then

float and all that stuff so anyone who wants to help out yeah shama mama so we'll be there help us out building it chris can i'll volunteer some family members yes so it should be fun and i think it'll be another really great way for us to be seen in the community and yeah for sure so and the kids will have fun oh yeah part of that and yeah for sure good way to promote the show sing and dance are you kidding me they're gonna be in their glory people yelling and clapping for them are you kidding me yeah for two hours can we do
