​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

Henry V

Where’s Charley?
