Children's Shows At The Cannon Theatre----A REVIEW
“Shawn directed 2 plays that my children were in, A Little Princess and
Pirates of Penzance. For Pirates of Penzance, I worked for Shawn as her
musical director. So my experience with Shawn is both from the
perspective of a parent of a participant and from behind the scenes. The product that Shawn guides children to produce far exceeds their own
expectations and the standards set by other children's theater groups. She gets this result with a clear, stepwise progression of work from the
children. They know what lines to focus on and how well they should
know them by what date. Furthermore, Shawn teaches a clean, healthy vocal sound- not the
strained, chest voice produced by some children's theaters. She is a joy to work for. She communicates her needs clearly without
micromanagement and when there are issues to resolve or redirections
needed, she expresses her position and moves on.
In addition to pushing children to work hard and produce a great
product, Shawn ends up being a confidant and role model to many of the
teens. While rolling hair and applying makeup, I heard Shawn more than
once champion clean living - no alcohol, no drugs- and fun living at the
same time.
So if you want your child to gain self-respect from good, hard work and
to improve their drama and vocal abilities, I strongly suggest you check
out her programs.”

Ricky Rocks Record Hour
The second program/show is going to be a musical play, "Ricky Rocks Record Hour", an original play written by Shawn Cannon-----all about six girls in the 1950's that decide they want to meet their favorite rock star! Its a lofty goal----and maybe they are going to have to do a few crazy things to get there, but its all worth meeting your ultimate crush, right? Its going to be a funny show with lots of music from the era, along with some great dance numbers and fun costumes---think poodle skirts and leather jackets! We will also be doing hair and makeup, and learning vocal techniques, acting techniques and will put on the show at the end. This musical is for grades 4th through 10th grade. The dates for this camp/show will be on Monday, August 1 through Thurs., Aug. 4 and Monday, Aug. 8 through Thurs., Aug. 11. The show will be that night at 8:00 p.m., on Aug. 11. Each day will begin at 11:00 until 4:00 p.m.----so it will run 5 hours a day----for the eight days. The cost for this class/show is going to be $400.00, with a $10.00 supply fee. If you get your check and registration form in before the end of June, or have more than one sibling enrolled, there will be a 10% discount, so the cost will be $360.00, as well as the supply fee.
