Who

Juniors

Entering 4th grade – Entering 8th grade


 

We are looking for a diverse group of students to join a professional staff of artists and educators and share their collective stories. In doing so, one, solid, unified piece of theatre with music is born. In order to make this happen, we need creative people of all types. This experience is about the creative process, and while the performance is an enormous part of our workshop, the focus is on the days of creation. We need writers, actors, poets, dreamers, singers, visual artists, composers, musicians, designers and creative people of all types.
