Auditions for Open Stage of Harrisburg’s Music Theatre Workshop for students ages 12-17 have been extended until Friday, July 9. The program runs from July 19 – August 6 at the theatre in downtown Harrisburg. The program has been designated a “Regional Summer School of Excellence” for the seventh year in a row by the PA Department of Education. This competitive grant, awarded annually to only 15 education entities in the state, is based on a rigorous evaluation of proposals for gifted and talented summer programming tied to state and national teaching and learning standards. Open Stage’s program is unusual in the area in that it gives professional instruction in acting, singing, and dancing as well as performance. All students are given individual attention in small classes.
Interested students should prepare a 2-minute memorized monologue from a published play and a Broadway song. They should bring sheet music.The program includes daily class in singing, acting, and dance; a field trip to see BILLY ELLIOT; participation in a workshop with New York professionals; and two performances on August 5.
Interested students should call the theatre’s Education Department at 214-3250. Tuition for the three-week class is $450, which includes all activities.
