Previously held during the school year, Stages: Young Artists Theatre Series has transitioned to a summer intensive program for high school students who demonstrate a commitment to continuing their study of theatre arts. This new format provides students with a more in-depth, rigorous and challenging exploration of many different aspects of the theatre. Extensive workshops with design professionals, as well as acting workshops ranging from movement and stage combat to Shakespeare are just a few of the many exciting additions that the three-week, nine-session summer program offers.
A diverse collection of first-class productions, master classes and discussions with professional theatre artists and technicians broadens students’ understanding of theatre and challenges a new generation of theatre artists to be bold, creative and original. Stages strives to provide a well-rounded overview of the theatre profession, with classes and workshops ranging from performance to production, writing, design, directing and marketing. This is not a program just for actors, but for aspiring stage managers, writers, directors, techies, etc.
Dates: Stages meets on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays, June 30 – July 21, 2008 (no session July 5). Performances will include A Chorus Line, The Drowsy Chaperone and Of Equal Measure.
Requirements: Stages is open to all high school students. Admission is based on the applicant’s experience and level of interest, as well as on the recommendation of drama teachers and other theatre professionals.
Fees: $150 includes master classes, workshops and theatre tickets.
