PERFORMANCE DATES AND TIME:
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE HAS CHANGED. NO SECOND WEEKEND.
Workshop and intensive offer a unique opportunity for hands-on theatre education. Together students will embark on an arduous journey to create a live musical theatre event. Along the way their multi-tasking will build confidence, teach life skills, foster collaborative relationships, and educate the imagination.
MTVarts’ performance-based youth arts education, artsIQ, provides opportunities for artists ages 8 to 18 to take the stage and engage nearly 2000 elementary students in a live theater experience as part of the YES series. Public performances are also offered. Our educational series not only has a positive, long-lasting impact on the students involved but on the community as a whole.

Go in into the gym where we will start our day all together. Once you leave the gym you will always travel as part of your TEAM.
Each group will rotate in 45 minutes blocks throughout the day for instruction in music, choreography, theatre basics, acting, tech, production, etc.
We will start and end our day all together each day. This will be in the theater house on Monday and in gym on Tuesday through Friday.
All of our time spent together at the workshop should be considered an audition. Your directors will be using this form as a guideline:
Auditions will be held for the speaking parts during the Friday group rotations. You will be asked to register for auditions by Tuesday morning. Cast of characters with descriptions and voice ranges are available in ProductionPro.
A paper audition form will go home with you on Monday or you can register for auditions online.
IF DIRECTORS NEED TO HEAR YOU AGAIN OR LOOK AT PHYSICALITY, you many be asked to come back on SATURDAY morning.
Those who are not cast in a speaking role will be divided into one of two ensembles. The RED ensemble will perform the first weekend and the BLUE ensemble will perform the second weekend. Both ensembles will have the opportunity for a YES school performance.
Named, speaking roles will perform BOTH weekends and ALL school performances.
No conflicts can be accepted for named, speaking roles for any performance/final dress rehearsal, school or public. Conflicts for rehearsals the week of September 19 and 26 are strongly discouraged and need special permission. Conflicts for the September First Friday (Sept 2 from 5-8) also need special permission. Conflicts must be given prior to accepting any role offered.
