A Shakespeare AND a Musical?! At the SAME TIME?!
The Theatre Collaborative offers a Summer Repertory Training program for young artists ages 14-19. This 5-week program offers a rare opportunity for performers and stage managers, immersing them in a true repertory experience. During their time in the program, students will rehearse both a classical text and a musical, as well as participate in workshops led by theatre professionals.
Summer Repertory Training
25 Candidates total: 21 actors, 4 Stage Managers
Theatre Collaborative Ensemble is now seeking young artists, for their summer 2018 Shakespeare and Musical.
The 5 week program is designed to invite students from the surrounding communities into a collaborative environment where they can work alongside professional mentors to explore acting technique, music, and movement. It will also help hone their artistic skills through a series of workshops and repertory theatre experience.
The purpose of this program is to offer young artists the chance to work with a professional staff and to enhance their skills in a craft they are passionate about. Theatre can serve a catalyst to providing young people with an outlet for expression, a place to meet new people, and also to engage the community.
No experience necessary! TCE is a non-audition program. Students that are confident and ready to explore a Shakespeare or classical text alongside a Musical, are certainly ready for TCE.
25 students would be accepted into the program based on their essay and reference.
Titles Under Consideration:
As You Like It
Much Ado About Nothing

"Peter and Corinne push you past boundaries you didn't even know were there to begin with. Getting to work collaboratively with students who share the same passion and drive as you is special in itself. Not only that, artistry is found through similarities and differences, the dream in any collaborative project."
