PLAY Conservatory is a theatrical experience, designed by independent director Jonathan Dunski, that offers unique and challenging educational programs in Theater and produces superior quality entertainment for the entire family.
PLAY Conservatory projects employ theatre professionals who design, build, and manage the productions, and teaching artists who help students develop their skills in acting, singing, dancing, stagecraft, literacy, and professionalism.
There have been five successful PLAY Conservatory collaborations with local organizations: Disney’s Aladdin Jr., Mulan Jr., and Alice in Wondrland Jr. at St. Pius X High School, Lord of the Flies at N4th Theater, and The Butterfingers Angel at Auxiliary Dog Theatre. Read more about them.
This spring we independently produced Amazing Adventures of the Marvelous Monkey King an energetic, award-winning play that fused Chinese Opera and Hip-Hop, at Albuquerque’s Wool Warehouse Theater.
