Theatre Academy (Gr. 3 -12)


Summer Programs / Youth Enrichment -
Summer 2025

Beginning with an audition workshop, students will hone their audition skills to try out for roles in DreamWorks Production's Shrek: The Musical Jr.  Each day, students will participate in rehearsals including music, choreography, improv and drama games, backstage production, and most importantly -- FUN! The FINAL performance will take place on Friday, June 27 in the Irving Robbins Middle School Auditorium.

Opportunity for rising (7-12) graders: Students with a serious interest in the "behind-the-scenes" portion of theatre will work with mentors in the areas of stage management, directing, costumes, props, and set design. These students will not perform in the play but instead will be working backstage as part of the production.

Students should bring a healthy snack, a healthy lunch, and a water bottle daily.
