High School
(students currently in 9-11 grade)
Theater High School - Open to students entering grades 10, 11, and 12
While tailoring instruction and student work to address age appropriate theatrical training, both theater studios focus on individual audition preparation and monologue work, partner and multiple person scene study and ensemble musical theater. Drawing from acclaimed contemporary and classical plays and musicals, students further develop their acting and performance skills exploring all aspects of a dynamic theater artist including exposure to the triple threat skills of singing, dancing and acting. Additional training focuses on actor preparedness, professionalism and the confidence to command the stage. Students will also engage in a variety of intensive physical exercises as well as vocal training to increase range and projection abilities. Students will learn about theatre as a business, access important works of theatre history and experience the New York theater community. The abilities to read well, communicate and understand complex text are assets in this program. Theater studio students should be prepared to take direction, collaborate and engage in group planning and creative work. The work of these studios culminates in staged scene work and an ensemble theater piece as part of the Summer Arts Institute final performance.
