| John C. Russell Playwrights Lab |
Eight young people, chosen from their submitted writing samples, will meet for two weekends in July with
contemporary playwrights to develop a script. Each child’s script is then brought to life by young actors, directed by
a professional, in staged readings during the third week of August. |
| Young Directors Lab |
Similar to the Playwrights Lab, participants will work with professionals on existing
or new scripts, with young actors for performances during the third week of
August. |
| Apprentice Program |
Teenagers participate in all aspects of theater production, including set painting,
lighting, set design, costuming, special effects, box office, stage
management, etc. Apprentices work closely with professional artists in a self-contained
theater setting which provides them with an invaluable overview of
the field. |
| Conservatory Training Program |
July 3-14 and 17-28
Two two-week programs will revolve around
the nuts and bolts of acting. Run by alumni of Andy’s,
sessions will include work in voice, improvisation, theater games, acting and movement and
conclude with an informal performance. Especially suited
to children new to theater. |
| Cheap Cabaret – New this year! |
Late-night informal showcases at the Playhouse for teenagers to develop performance
material of any kind, mentored by professionals, and then share it with other communities
late in the summer, on tour.
