INTENSIVES • Join us and let’s make theatre together!
Our intensives are an exciting combination of education/technique and creating a production. Contrasting our productions during the school year, these intensives harness a greater focus on the holistic view of how we make theatre. Participants will register for the intensive appropriate for their grade similarly to how they do for classes and workshops. The full intensive experience will involve auditions, rehearsals, tech rehearsals, and performances as well as instruction in various areas in the theatre (including acting, singing, dance, design, analysis, technical work, etc). The focus here is on the teamwork it takes to make theatre and finding ways to contribute strengths while bolstering less-experienced areas. Featuring a ‘less is more’ approach to theatricality, the end production result will remind us all what is at the heart of storytelling: the community, craft, and collaboration.
Please note: Many of the roles can be cast with actors of any gender. Specifically in Newsies, the group of newsies will not necessarily be traditionally gender cast.
