As our world is constantly changing - so must we...
This year's Youth Production will once again be a unique experience! We will be working this summer in a Hybrid (virtual/in-person) setting. This will help us to create the safest environment possible, while still allowing the students to be able to perform in person with their fellow actors!
Some pieces may be able to be done entirely virtually! Location does not matter!
Auditions
Will be held virtually on June 24.
All applications can be submitted online here.
Rehearsals
All rehearsals will take place virtually until we get to Tech Week.
During these, the students will not only rehearse, but will learn about the different styles of theatre.
Tech Week
We will meet on location (TBD) to block and rehearse each piece.
Recording
We will meet on location to record each piece.
The Show
Will be broadcast virtually as a recorded production.
We will have the students on for a talkback after each performance.
Safety Protocols*
Subject to change - according to NYS guidelines
During Rehearsals
Since rehearsals will take place virtually students will be able to attend from the comfort of their own home!
