Over the past six years, the Missouri Street Theatre has offered the opportunity to various youth and theatrical groups to promote performing arts in the community.  With the combined experience of their directors totalling more than 40 years, Harbour Theatrical Group is dedicated to educating, enriching and entertaining the lives of people of all ages.  From the time it incorporated as a non-profit in 1998, Harbor Theatrical Group has promoted community and volunteer support, student enthusiasm, and growing recognition of the professional caliber of our shows and the high quality of our workshops. Many of our students go on to prestigious university theater programs around the country; all of them, wherever they go, take with them confidence, empathy, responsibility, and the capacity to imagine. We passionately believe that when young people have opportunities to participate in exceptional training in the arts, they become not only the next generation of artists and arts appreciators, but the next generation of engaged citizens, empowered to pay attention, communicate, and energetically participate in a collaborative process.

We believe that there is a unique magic between adolescents and musical theater.  Who better to interpret the heightened emotions that acting through song and dance require than those who still have one foot in the childhood world of “play”, and the other on the threshold of adult challenges?

The MST Talent Showcase 2010 will be held on Saturday, February 27, 2010 at the Fairfield Centre for Creative Arts, 1035 Texas Street, Fairfield, CA  94533. For more information and registration, visit our website at www.missouristreettheatre.com.  Doors open at 11am.

In keeping with MST/HTG’s mission to educate and entertain  will be presenting     “Totally Red”  This unique play not only entertains but will give the audience a lesson on the history of  the different types of acting that have developed over the past years to present day. Using the characters from Little Red Riding hood, the Wolf, Granny the Woodsmen and of course Little Red The show will primer Feb.19th ,20th @7:30 & Feb.20th@ 2pm . A special performance will be offered to educators for review and presentation in school ether for performance or production with students.

FAIRFIELD—“The Artys, the Artys, time for recognition and parties!” So went the opening line of Vallejo jazz musician Dalt Williams’ winning entry in the Artys Theme song contest in 2007. The song is even more relevant in 2009 as the annual awards show honoring the best of Solano County performing arts celebrates its silver anniversary.

The Arty Awards are a collaboration between the Daily Republic and the City of Fairfield and while the main purpose of the black tie optional event is to deliver much-deserved recognition to local artists and art companies, it also serves as an all-star showcase of Solano County talent.

The local performance companies who will dazzle attendees this year include: Solano Repertory Company (“Hair”, “Cats”), Solano College Theatre (“Assassins”), Fairfield Civic Theatre (“The Wizard of Oz”), and Solano Youth Theatre (“The Music Man”).

In addition, high school productions by Will C. Wood (“Beauty and the Beast”), St. Patrick’s/St. Vincent’s (“Into the Woods”) and Benicia High School (“Once Upon a Mattress”) will feature local stars of tomorrow.

The 2009 Arty Award nominees are:
