TALENTED YOUNG ACTORS

CASTING NOW.
AS OF JUNE 15 SOME
OPENINGS FOR BOYS.
BY AUDITION.
SEE INFO BELOW.
 This
Workshop is for young actors and actresses, ages 13
- 19, who want to focus
on acting and performance skills. The Acting
Ensemble is in residence in the Shadow
Box Theatre. The
theatre was renovated in 2007. The students will perform a fully staged
play, such as the productions pictured here!
The Acting Workshop, June
28 - July 25, 2010, is a
full day program, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; Monday -
Friday. The
program immerses teen students in the world of
acting
in a professional, supportive, and creative atmosphere (ages
13-19). Each student will rehearse and perform a fully
staged play at the Shadow Box Theatre on the Queensborough
campus on the final weekend of the workshop.
|
The Teen Acting Workshop ALSO includes classes with
working Theatre Arts Professionals in acting, voice and diction,
movement, on-camera technique, stage combat, mime,
Alexander, stage make-up,
period styles, audition technique, improvisation, and other
performing arts. Working Guest
Artists, such as Rod Kinter (fight choreographer for NYCity Opera), Jen Nails (NYC People's Improv Theatre),
Debra Whitfield (Prof. director and teacher), and
Shira-Lee Shalit (award winning film acting
teacher) and Casting Directors teach specialized
classes throughout the four weeks. |
|
 |
A
typical day for the Acting Ensemble includes a variety of
theatre arts and acting classes during the morning hours and
then, after lunch, rehearsals for the show they will be
performing.
All
students will have a speaking part in the final play presented by
the Ensemble. The 2010 script will not be chosen until the
entire company is cast so we can best match a script to the talent
in the Ensemble. Students will receive scripts for the show in June
and auditions for the play will take place during the first week of
the workshop.
|
 Great preparation for
those young actors who are looking to be accepted into performing arts schools
and colleges. Many Theatre Arts Center students are enrolled
in local performing arts high schools, such as LaGuardia, and choose
to continue their theatre studies professionally and at specialized
universities and conservatories. |

CABARET
WORKSHOP
 Students
who are accepted into the Acting Ensemble may audition for a
special fifth week Cabaret Workshop. This workshop will
feature advanced actors, singers, and dancers in an intimate
cabaret show in the Shadowbox Theatre. The special Guest
DIRECTOR will be Broadway Star, Karen Mason!
