In response to the popularity of the Fox TV hit GLEE, South Carolina Children’s Theatre will launch their own “show choir,” for interested young people who love to sing.  The goal is to provide a place for kids who like to sing popular music in a fun and hip style to form a strong ensemble and create a tour-able performance troupes to promote the performing arts and the super vocal talents of youth in our area.

GLEE DIRECTOR - Adam Sanders is a May 2010 graduate of Erskine College with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish. He performed the role of Ichabod Crane in SCCT's THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW last October as well as touring with our Elementary Bullying Prevention show. Adam has been involved with theatre for years, totaling close to 30 credits both onstage and backstage, his favorites including Smokey Joe's Cafe, Tony in West Side Story, Danny Zuko in Grease, Will Parker in Oklahoma!, and Cornelius Hackl in Hello, Dolly! He was also an inaugural member of the Fountain Inn Repertory Experience where he still enjoys performing. He has sung in several traveling vocal ensembles including the Erskine College Choraleers, The Chamber Singers, The Gospel Choir and the men's a capella group The Fleetones. Adam also has experience directing and "choral-ographing." He directed and choreographed the musical Godspell and his own original cabaret which he also wrote and he choreographed for the Erskine College Choraleers' Pops Concerts and for the Greater Anderson Music and Arts Consortium Pops Concert. Adam had the opportunity to bring his love for theatre overseas when he conducted an independent theatre study in Spain during his semester abroad. He introduced the classic "A Christmas Carol" to the Spanish-speaking students and wrote and directed a condensed version of the play in simple English that the students performed for their peers. Adam is so excited to head up SCCT's GLEE and hopes that children everywhere will discover that dancing and singing is for everyone!
