PERFORMANCE & ACTOR TRAINING WORKSHOP
(entering 7th – 9th grade, by audition)

George Roth, supervisor

This program is essentially the same as the Professional Training Workshop, except that instead of taking classes in the afternoon you will have the opportunity to be in a production. In the mornings you will be in the same Acting and Scene Study classes as the students signed up for the Professional Training Workshop.

Play titles will be announced in the near future.
