OVERVIEW
The Goal Super Happy Awesome News is written to be rehearsed remotely, performed virtually, and shared with audiences online. The storyline is linear, made up of monologues and songs intended to be performed as solos. When these scenes are video recorded and played in sequence, it presents a complete musical theater experience available to any audience with an internet connection. Actors can easily practice their parts, video conference with or record/send to the director their rehearsal, and receive real time or remote acting adjustments and direction. This clear format facilitates distance learning for drama students and directors. This show was created during the COVID-19 pandemic. Super Happy Awesome News was made specifically for all the young performers and communities affected by this unprecedented circumstance. |
DRAMA CAMP ~ $250
This show calls for 20 students to rehearse with Mr. Pete online, work on their music, and record a video at home to submit once all is prepared. Interested students should simply fill out the CONTACT FORM on our website and Mr. Pete will be in contact with next steps. No audition necessary. Questions? Call Mr. Pete at 609-903-6560 The idea for this musical is based on Some Good News with John Krasinski Ep. 1 |

Summary
Two siblings launch rival “good news” networks and find themselves competing for the title of
happiest news show. Soon, their correspondents are in a whirlwind of ecstatic musical reporting
– from joyful weather forecasts, to cheerful cooking segments and blissful political updates! But,
when vulnerability starts peeking through the euphoric facade, they’re left wondering: is there
room for raw honesty on a super happy broadcast? This new virtual musical (designed specifically
to be rehearsed and performed remotely), incorporates r eal stories from kids age 7-12, offering a
positive outlet for them to express their emotions.
SCHEDULE
The show will be cast in a week or so. It's filling up fast! Once the show is cast, scripts, recordings, and tracks will be distributed. An entire cast zoom meeting will be held to answer any questions, and do a read-through. We may do several read-through's so there is coherence between the different scenes. I will do weekly one-on-one zoom meetings to rehearse monologues and songs. I will try to fit into YOUR schedule. There are three parts with no vocal solo. The first week of August is reserved for 3 recordings to be submitted; a run-through with feedback, a dress rehearsal with feedback, and then the performance video that will be edited into the final musical presentation. The music is great. The show is very clever. You'll be surprised at how well this works! After all recordings are submitted, the major work of editing begins!

"We chose Mill Pond truthfully because it's down the street from us and we like to walk as much as
possible. Then, we discovered that Mill Pond fit right in with its home grown feel and approach.
Our son fell in love with piano and Miss Laura just after one lesson. Thanks!"

“My 7-yr-old son has been learning Piano with Mr Pete since the last 10 months and
I have seen such a positive difference in my son ever since.
He’s learned to appreciate classical music, and he often even sings when he’s playing the piano.
He loves going to his weekly classes and Mr Pete’s vivacious, happy personality
makes learning so much fun! We couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. ”
