From auditions to performance, young actors and technicians will explore the varied skills needed to produce a play. Using children’s literature as our base, we will touch on elements of playwriting, directing, stage managing, designing; including, set, prop, costume, makeup, sound and lighting. We will not build their set designs, but we will use simple stage makeup, costumes, and props. Be prepared to have them raid their closets to find what they need to create their own costume!

Actors will be expected to practice their lines and do some character development work at home. Technicians will be expected to help source sound and prop elements, and will assist in stage managing, and running the sound and lights for the show.

Parent Presentation is Friday, July 24 at 5:30 p.m.

*Tuition of $220 includes a special backstage tour of the Gouge Performing Arts Center on June 23rd at 11:00, plus a T-shirt, materials for props, and snacks.
