LEWISTON: PROFESSIONAL
THEATRE TRAINING PROGRAM FOR YOUNG ACTORS, July 8-26, 2013. The
Public Theatre is seeking dedicated students ages 10 -16 to participate
in a three week intensive training program featuring master acting
classes, stage combat, movement, voice and speech, singing and text
analysis. The program will culminate in a free public performance on
July 26th. Whether you're an experienced young performer wanting
intensive theater training, or a "raw talent" looking to channel your
creativity and imagination, this high quality theatre program is for
you. Taught by theatre professionals, with professional standards and
insights, this challenging and inspiring program is a unique alternative
to traditional "drama camps". In this training program we encourage each
child to fully explore their imagination and intellect, and to express
themselves in an integrated and dynamic way. We want young actors to tap
into their potential in ways that might surprise them, and to understand
that the process of creation is as important and exciting as the final
show. Aside from improving their basic acting and concentration skills,
students will also learn how to work as an ensemble and think on their
feet, developing a greater sense of confidence and self esteem - all
while having a ton of fun. Participation in this program is through
audition only. Audition applications and details may be obtained by
visiting our website or emailing us. Students will have the opportunity
to audition for the program either on Saturday, March 30, or, if
openings are still available, at a TBA date in May. Serious students who
seek professional training are urged to apply as soon as possible. To
attend the March 30th auditions, we must receive your application by
Monday, March 25, 2013. You will be contacted to schedule an audition
time. The fee for the program is $475. Scholarships are available for a
limited number of students with appropriate financial need. For more
