Towle Youth Theater Ensemble: Summer Theater Intensive

In this program students will develop/refine their skills in performance, creative writing, and communication. This program is designed to create a safe learning space for young people to learn the craft of working in the theater. In addition to developing performance-specific skills such as acting, improvisation, storytelling, singing, dancing etc, our student participants will learn the intrinsic skills of collaboration, clear communication, kindness and compromise that are at the heart of participating in any theatrical endeavor. We work to instill a deep respect and sense of joy in our students for the creative work they are doing together. This intensive will be taught by Executive Director, Emily Nelson. Emily studied acting at Columbia College Chicago and spent years training at the Goodman Theatre where she began her career as a teaching artist.

The Youth Ensemble Summer Program will begin June 24th and run till August 10th.

Programming will take place Monday-Thursday 9am-12pm (there will be no programming the week of July 4th)

The week of August 5th program hours may extend or shift due to tech rehearsal for ensembles production.
