Who We are

AUDITION ALERT!

KHT is working on a musical! Well, musical-ish show. Auditions are open for Miscast! Directed by Stacia Purdie Rice. What is Miscast you ask? It’s scenes we all know and love from musicals but... miscast. Think gender bent or some other variation on classics. 

How do you audition? Great Question! You can email a video submission to Stacia or schedule an audition time (but you’ll need to provide your own accompaniment). 

Auditions and video due date are both April 3rd. Questions and video submissions go to stacia_purdie@hotmail.com

KAA THURSDAY ONLINE CLASSES

Mixed-media Expressive Portraits with Angela Wrahtz 

CLASS DESCRIPTION --If you have an art background, this is an opportunity to experiment and play and take it to the next level. If you have no background, that’s okay, because everyone will be guided step-by-step through a project that will give you the opportunity to mix and mash it up. We will take inspiration from famous artists and then draw on top of watercolor. We will paint on top of sketches. We’ll use colored pencils and crayons and charcoal and oil pastel and whatever we feel like (or happen to have in our art box) to create modern and dynamic portraits. We are not going for “likeness” so much as expression although portrait fundamental will be brought into the equation. No need to have drawing skills. You will learn how to capture images with fidelity as well as understand proportions of the face. This class will be an ongoing journey on the subject of interesting faces. Eventually we will add collage to sketches and paintings. We will experiment and play. Again, no previous experience required, but if you have a bunch of art supplies at home and are looking for a new way to use them, this class is for you. You may bring your own photographs to work with. Minimum 5 students needed for class to go.  MEETING TIME--This class meets in the mornings on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month from 10am to Noon. It is planned to continue on monthly in the same time slot.
