SummerStage: Teen Apprentice Program
July 5, 2021 @ 9:00AM — August 13, 2021 @ 4:00PM Eastern Time (US & Canada)
The Teen Apprentice Program is for rising 9th - 12th graders. Teen Apprentices meet Mondays through Fridays from 9am - 4pm.
A track for Teens (rising 9th – 12th graders) who are interested in learning about the educational aspect of theatre, during Arc SummerStage. The TAP (Teen Apprentice) program will give teens a firsthand look at how to work with children as a teacher, how to stage scenes and songs, how to guide children in their artistic and educational process.
TAPs (Teen Apprentices) will receive special classes in education, leading groups of children, directing, and staging. They will work closely with the director and cast of a Young Actor or Tween show throughout their rehearsal process. TAPs will have the opportunity to join their peers for guest artist Master Classes as well, and then to learn Stage Management during the final stage of the rehearsal process. This program will allow each TAP to work individually as well as in a close-knit group, gaining confidence in leadership skills, their abilities to teach and guide a group, as well as to work one-on-one with younger actors.
