Each 3-week session is an intensive training program in which students ages 11-13 will audition, write, rehearse, and perform a theatrical production under the instruction of working professionals.
Students of this program need to understand that dedication, focus, and participation make the program successful for all. We look forward to a wonderful summer as we work together to create something we can all be proud of!

WKS 1-3: Orphie and the Book of Heroes
