New ‘Acting for Kids’ class prepares for Christmas play

Colleen Laliberte of Skwalking Heads Productions is starting a new acting class for children that will culminate with a performance of “The Christmas that Came Too Soon,” an original musical written by Signal Mountain resident Michael Huseman.

The class will be held Tuesdays beginning Sept. 10 and running through Dec. 12 from 6-7:30 p.m., with rehearsals becoming more frequent as the December performance approaches.

While the production has a few roles for adults, all of the young actors in the musical will be cast from the “Acting For Kids” class, said Laliberte.

“This is the second original play written by Michael Huseman that I have had the privilege of directing as a world premiere,” she said.

The first Huseman original directed by Laliberte was the 2012 summer production of “Pirates of the Cafeteria.”
