Andover youth services offers two messages:
Audition callAndover Youth Services will present Wiley and the Hairy Man by Suzan Zeder and Little Red Riding Hood by Billy Aronson (of RENT fame) in the skatepark this summer. Auditions will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 on Tuesday, July 7 at the AYS house at 37-39 Pearson St. The performance will be on Aug. 7 in the skatepark. Please prepare a one-minute, comedic monologue. Auditions will also consist of some cold readings.
The program is open to students entering grades 6-10, and is a great opportunity to try modern, unconventional theater in an unusual venue. The production will be a four- week committment, with rehearsals will be 2-3 evenings a week, depending on your role, for 2-3 hours. The shows will be directed by Tom Blanford and Zach Zatet, both AHS grads and current theater majors. Contact Tom Blanford at tblanfor@nd.edu for more information.
Old school intramurals
Tired of having everything in your life scheduled? Do you want to just get outside and play with new and old friends? Old school intramurals is the Andover Youth Services way to just that!
Each Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. you will go out with Neal Callahan (Summer Recreation Coordinator) to play basketball, flag football, mat ball, street hockey, speed ball, wiffleball, capture the flag and so much more! Old school intramurals will run to Aug. 12 and meet at 37-39 Pearson St., the new AYS home. Participants can sign up for each individual class, based on their summer schedules. We will travel to different places around Andover just to play, whether we walk or ride bikes (bikes will be provided in this case), and the point is to get outside, explore and experience. So, come join the AYS Gold Rush crew and get ready to play your heart out.
To sign up for this program, get in touch with the AYS Gold Rush crew. Here are two easy ways: call 978-623-8241 or stop by 37-39 Pearson St.
