Training and Summer Opportunties

Our area is rich with opportunities to attend and perform in the theatre! If your actor or technician is looking for something extra to do in the "off season" or looking for training opportunities, please take a look at the list provided below. 

There are many, many, many community and educational theatre groups in the area. I have not personally worked with all that I listed below...and this is in no way a totally inclusive list of all possible opportunities! I listed the ones below because they are either specifically for high school students, or had a summer offering. Each community theatre group or educational program comes with its own set of unique traits (and quirks!). 

If you have questions about opportunities or programs please ask! There are lots of performing and educational opportunities offered throughout the year that are not listed here. Please contact me with any questions and I will point you in the right direction!
