Judo, or the “Gentle Way” is an unarmed martial way that originated in Japan, is an Olympic sport and can be practiced by children, men and women of all ages. Mutual welfare and respect is a guiding principle of judo and the sport emphasizes discipline and will improve your fitness level on both the cardio and strength elements. Judo is a competitive sport with local competition and in addition to learning how to throw and pin an opponent, judokas learn how to fall, improve their balance, develop confidence, and mental strength. There is no striking, or kicking involved and it is possible to earn ranks via a belt promotion system that recognizes both proficiency in training, as well as competition results. In addition to being tremendous exercise, judo is also a very practical means of self defense and this structured program will be taught by a 5th degree black belt certified by the US Judo Federation. In addition to being introduced to the sport of judo, you will leave this class with a vastly improved fitness level so you are guaranteed a positive physical result.

Many of the junior golfers at the Myth return the next season to join again. The junior golf program starts later in the morning, so the kids get a chance to enjoy their lazy summer. Kids also receive lunch with the sessions. The junior golfers are grouped with instructors and walk to their starting tees together. Myth teaches the basics of golf and many junior golfers make good friends and look forward to the next season to meet again. Children ages 7 to 13 years old are invited one day a week for the total junior golf (6) sessions. The junior golf runs from 11 to 2 p.m. and junior golfers must have their own equipment. Juniors can choose to register for the Monday or Wednesday class and each day includes lunch and group instruction focusing on a different point each week. Junior golfers will be paired with friends upon request. Parents will need to drop off their junior golfers with their golf bags behind the pro shop to meet on the practice green. Groups will be formed according to age and skill levels.

Teens are invited to participate in our acting intensive and production, which distinguishes itself from other theater groups by educating its members in all aspects of theater (not just acting), using the play as its vehicle for education. Members participate in our process that’s designed to educate them—not only in theater, but in all facets of life. We at Full Impact Theater believe that training in the theater arts is an invaluable advantage in today’s world. Through the integrated arts discipline of theater performance, teens will develop self-confidence, personal-expression skills, integrity, a sense of responsibility, and problemsolving and time-management skills. Theater provides a safe and nurturing venue for teens to explore life’s challenges while working cooperatively with others. Through theater, teens learn to act on their dreams. Full Impact Theater guarantees each registered and eligible** member a role. (Our cast is capped with a maximum number, so register early.) Our distinct auditions serve to match each member with the role that best fits him or her. (No advance preparation is needed to audition. Just come and participate.) During The Two Gentlemen of Verona, actors will not only learn their lines— they’ll learn what the words Shakespeare wrote in the play mean, in addition to the historical context of the times. Our members love Shakespeare and aren’t intimidated by The Bard—because our process allows them to “get it.” This wonderful gift carries over to their future, when they’re reading Shakespeare in school or on their own. Our Shakespeare-in-the-Park auditions, orientation, rehearsals, and performances will all take place outdoors in Rochester Municipal Park, near the Kiwanis Shelter, rain or shine. Auditions are Monday, June 10, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and ori- Find us on 58 or Follow us on entation is Tuesday, June 11, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. (Attendance by teens and teens under 18 with an accompanying parent or guardian is mandatory—no exceptions.) Rehearsals are Tuesday through Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. beginning June 17. (Please note, July 4 week rehearsals will be Monday through Wednesday.) Performances will be Friday through Sunday, August 2 through 4. Full Impact Theater is a full-volunteer organization. We depend entirely on our members and their families to make each production a success. Therefore, we require each actor/family to volunteer 15 hours during the course of the production. We offer choices of assisting anywhere from costumes to concessions. (This policy is nonnegotiable.) For more detailed information about Full Impact Theater or our summer intensive, please visit our website, www.FullImpactTheater.org, or email [email protected]. * While it is Shakespeare, The Two Gentlemen of Verona may not be suited to every family. Full Impact Theater performs unabridged Shakespeare, no contemporary scripts. We ask that each teen/family read The Two Gentlemen of Verona prior to registering so there are no thematic or language surprises. Full Impact Theater’s teens perform substantive works, and we do not alter our scripts. ** Please visit our website, www.FullImpactTheater.org, for complete eligibility requirements.
