Fall STAR is a Saturday morning Halloween-themed acting and television workshop for youth ages 10 to 16. The session runs for five Saturday mornings from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on October 4, 11, 18, 25, and the final show is on November 1, 2008. The workshop is held primarily in the TV Studio and other locations on the Gavilan College main campus in Gilroy. However, this session is very special!

The Gavilan College STAR Program has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with the world-renowned El Teatro Campesino. They open the doors of their historic playhouse for our STAR San Juan Bautista program during the summer. This Fall STAR Spooktacular session is timed to give participants the opportunity to participate in El Teatro Campesino's Dia de los Muertos festivities in San Juan Bautista on November 1st!

Fall STAR participants are introduced to performing arts fundamentals through theatre games, improvisational acting, and dance and movement exercises. Students collaborate to design costumes, masks, and make-up to create their own unique characters for a Halloween-themed TV variety show filled with comedy, fun, music, and surprises.

A Fall STAR Spooktacular DVD will be produced and the final program will also air on GavTV, Gavilan College's TV Station, Channel 18.

** Special note to Out and About Magazine readers: We apologize for our misprint in their September 2008 issue. Our advertisement shows that Fall STAR is for youth ages 8 to 16. The session is for youth ages 10-16, but don't give up hope just yet!!!

We still want to hear from you if your child is younger than 10 years old because we have received several inquiries for this age group, so we may add another session for little STAR kids if there are enough interested parents!

Please call us at 408-612-2057 or send an eMail to stargav@gavilan.edu and let us know if you're interested in the Gavilan College STAR Program! Please include the following information: Name, mailing address, and/or eMail address, phone number, child's name and birthdate.
