This program provides high school juniors and seniors with an in-depth look at non-performance careers in the arts. Each month, participants will learn about various areas in theatre, such as non-profit management, careers on/off stage, the importance of arts in community, grant funding – all from industry and area professionals. Students will work together on a year-long project, all while meeting like-minded students and learning what makes theatre unique.

These are available for select shows, and will be announced in our Educator Newsletter list and on social media.
