Encore in the Park

Ages 16-25
An audition-entry theatre workshop where students work with a professional director to create a high-quality theatrical production. Commitment and teamwork are a must as students will be expected to stretch their acting abilities and onstage skills. Topics covered will include vocal technique, characterization, focus, and building onstage chemistry with other actors. We will be rehearsing and performing a play within a very tight schedule–students should be prepared to attend 2-3 rehearsals/week. Our play will be performed indoors at the Richcraft as well as outdoors, so this is a fantastic opportunity to experience what it is like to tour a production and perform in varied venues.
Rehearsals July 16-August 9
Performance August 10
Outdoor Performance(s) TBA
Rehearsals Tuesday and Wednesday 6-8, Sunday 12-4

Cost $255 (Please contact the office if finances are a problem)
