Core Acting Classes
Like our summer camps, these classes introduce young actors and actresses to the fundamentals of theater: imagination, character development and story, as well as creating basic sets, props and costumes. Students will focus on bringing characters to life through creative movement, improvisation and text.

Spring R&P Lab
Once, In the Time of Trolls
By Sandra Fenichel Asher
In this sweet, little-known fairy tale from Norway , Katrina makes friends with a Bear who isn't quite what he seems. By trying to sneak a peek at the Bear's real identity, Katrina condemns him to remain the prisoner of the evil Troll Princess in a dreary castle east of the sun and west of the moon. With the guidance of three wise women and a boost from the magical Four Winds, Katrina journeys to rescue her friend - a Prince in disguise. Will Katrina triumph in the showdown with the Troll Princess? This action-packed script offers an abundance of juicy roles for a talented ensemble - and a surprise ending that will please all ages.

Spring R&P By Audition
The Actor's Nightmare AND The Fifteen-Minute Hamlet
The Actor's Nightmare by Christopher Durang AND The Fifteen-Minute Hamlet by Tom Stoppard
It's a double bill! In The Actor's Nightmare, the hapless George Spelvin is living a dream that is common among actors. It's not the dream of fame and fortune, but that nightmare where you show up on stage and are expected to perform in a show for which you have for some reason never rehearsed and know neither the lines nor the plot. And you're wearing a ridiculous outfit! The same cast will present The Fifteen-Minute Hamlet, which is actually a side-splitting 13-minute version of Shakespeare's greatest play (followed by a two-minute encore version).
Ages: 12 - 19
