Technical Theatre Mentorship

This a production based program, which means our youth participants will learn in a practicum style, in the moment, while working on a show. 

Youth theatre artists will attain the valuable problem-solving strategies, collaborative approaches, and technical skills needed to bring a production to life on stage. All of these same skills are also both transferrable and necessary to successfully navigate the complexities of everyday life.

• use a variety of practical tools to make the impossible, possible
• focus lights in unique and creative ways to establish mood and highlight a character, story, message and more
