Students meet on a regular basis with area theatre professionals with the purpose of learning the craft of playwriting and then having the opportunity to produce and see their works performed on stage.  The project goals are to encourage creative expression through scriptwriting, to provide opportunity for studying and analyzing exisiting theatrical works, and to learn the process of producing a script, all while having fun! 

Students are invited to participate in a weekend of playwriting and production on June 17 and 18 at First Presbyterian Church. Youtheatre’s Create-A-Play is open to students in grades 6-12 who will write, rehearse, and perform a play all within a 10-hour timeframe. The students will meet on Friday evening to begin the process, and then gather on Saturday to rehearse and perform the plays. Saturday’s 8 p.m. performance is free and open to the public.  There are limited spots available for students wishing to be involved in the workshop and these will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Students in grades 6-12 (2011-2012 school year) can register for these limited spots by Monday, June 13. The cost to participate in the workshop is $25 ($20 for current members of The Arts Partnership). Contact Peggy Grandbois, Education Director, at 419-422-3412, ext. 24 or education@artspartnership.com to register.

Please plan on joining us for a performance of the musical, Cinderella, starring the camp participants!  Tickets are $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for students and go on sale beginning July 5th at The Arts Partnership.  Tickets are also available at the door ½ hour prior to the performances.
