Tiger Actors Guild (TAG) will be hosting a daylong workshop event at East Juniata High School in Cocolamus in collaboration with the school's theatre department. According to the director of program Perry Ritzman, this is not the first that they will hold a workshop. Several years ago, she took the interested students for a similar workshop at Lock Haven University but it didn't flourished because the price went up and it became difficult to maintain a large group.

The workshop offers tow dance-related classes that include Basic Techniques for Musical Theater and Jitterbug, ACCENTuate Your Voice that enable kids to use various accents in their voices, two courses in stage makeup and tackle the course on bruises, mask making, costume, vocals, lights and sound, character building and playwriting.

According to TAG, students will have the opportunity to participate in 4 of these workshops and will do their best to give each student those classes he or she requested.

The workshop is free. Students from high school and fifth grade and beyond, especially those who lack self-esteem and confidence are encouraged to join. Ritzman, director of the program says, "There is no wrong person for the stage." But when asked if what's the toughest part of it, "facing the hurdle that you will make fool of yourself in front of your peers", she added.

Ritzman added that it's a lot of fun but it is a lot of hard work. According to her, she chose the piece 'spring musical' a year in advance to have enough time to recruit for actors, prepare customs and get sets ready.

On the other hand, a genuine bond within group was felt by former students of TAG, Alex Benner and Riley Cooper, who are now both in college but still chose to help TAG during the summer. According to Benner, he can't stay away. "Positive peer pressure," Cooper added when they recalled the good old days with TAG.

A report from Daily Item said, it has already been decided that TAG will do the Wizard of Oz in the spring of 2017.
