THE MASTERY OF DOING.
We teach and support the next generation of bold artists to implement advanced methodologies through the creation of original collaborative theatre. Youth Theatre Conservatory is a sequential 4-year program that challenges high school student artists to push beyond their own standards, encourages risks in creativity, and prepares for professional success. In Levels I & II (9th & 10th Grade), student artists undergo foundational theatre practices in movement, voice for performance, playwriting, directing, dramaturgy, and lighting & sound design. Each discipline is offered to set the foundation, preparing our student artists for higher education. For Levels III & IV (11th & 12th Grade), student artists will have the opportunity to declare a discipline of study in one of four tracts: Playwriting, Directing, Acting, or Design. In each tract, student artists will focus their study amongst professionals and peers alike, regularly overlapping with other tracts to collaborate in the creation of their theatre works. Each tract will undergo mentorships and vocational training from professional artists and creators in the field. By the end of Level IV, each student artist will present their senior Capstone Project in the form of a showcase.
