Students will choose from workshops on acting, singing, dancing, scene painting, improvisation, technical theater and so much more. Workshops are intended for students who are new to the theatrical arts as well as those with lots of experience. So come and join us for a wonderful week of theater!

These workshops are open to students in grades 5th through 12th with sessions for middle school students in the morning and high school students in the afternoon.

Register Now!

There seems to be some confusion about who is on what crew, so I thought I’d take a minute to clear things up.

The costume, publicity and set construction crews are not assigned. If you want to help out, and you’ve completed your registration, all you have to do is show up. You don’t even need to know how to sew or paint.

The performance crews, those that are there during the performances, will be assigned in a couple weeks. Placement in these crews is based on your interest, which you expressed in your tech application, your experience and most important of all, your participation. Showing up to all the crew meetings for the crew you want is the best way to get assigned to it. You can attend meetings for as many crews as you want, so don’t feel like your limited to one

Performance crews are: Stage Manager, Assistant Stage Manager, Props Master/Mistress, Running Crew, Video Crew, Sound Crew, Lighting Crew and Make-Up Crew

Crew meetings are posted on the “Tech Calendar” which is located under the “LoftPAC” drop down menu. Be sure to check it for the most up to date information on crew meetings.
