Tween Workshop

5th – 8th graders

Tuesdays or Wednesdays, 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm

Tween actors will experience a professional rehearsal process culminating in a production. Through theatre games and acting exercises, the tweens dive deeper into their work as actors as they gain confidence and experience about all aspects of theatre and performance.

About our process: When you sign up for an audition, you are signing up for the session! We do not make ‘cuts.’ Auditions and Callbacks are simply a way for us to get to know our actors each session, and for them to gain confidence and comfortability with the audition process. Instead of choosing a show in advance and shoehorning students into it, we choose our shows, and our schedule for the semester, based on the schedules and auditions/callbacks of the actors who sign up. Our emphasis is on creating an ensemble in which every actor is an integral part of the process and show!

Price: $965

For the Audition, please record a video of a brief monologue, and a brief song, and send them via Dropbox (the link will be sent in the registration confirmation email), by Sunday, September 13. Each audition piece should be under one minute long. Choose material you enjoy performing, and that shows you off!  If you need assistance finding a monologue, email [email protected]. We are happy to help!

We will have in-person ‘Callbacks’ all together on Wednesday, September 16 from 3:30 – 5:30 pm, to have actors read and sing from potential shows. By trying out different shows and material, we are seeing what shows – and how many – will best fit our actors that session. Our aim is to challenge our actors in different ways each session they sign up at Arc. We endeavor to nurture our actors, instill self-confidence, and a love for the process of putting on a show. Tween rehearsals begin on Tuesday, September 29 or Wednesday, September 30.  If we have sufficient enrollment, there will be a few separate Tween casts and shows, each rehearsing on either Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Actors rehearse the same day and time every week, until tech week. Performances will be in either December or January, depending on the cast.

We offer payment plans. Please contact us at  [email protected] for more information.
