Teen Theatre Project (Ages 14+)
This is the complete, pre-professional experience for aspiring performers. Set in a safe and encouraging environment where everyone participates in the creation of a fully designed production. The Teen Theatre Project enables young performers to advance their skills, build confidence, and perform on stage. Cynthia likens the teen theater project to summer stock, and says, “Though it’s geared toward those who have theater experience, it’s also wonderful for those who have just dabbled in it for the first time. It’s a fun, nurturing environment with like-minded people.“ The production they will put together is Young Frankenstein / July 3 – August 12: “It’s alive!” The comedy genius, Mel Brooks, adapts his legendarily funny film into a brilliant stage creation, with such memorable tunes as “The Transylvania Mania,” “He Vas My Boyfriend” and “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” Young Frankenstein is scientifically proven, monstrously good entertainment!
