fall acting PROGRAM
Calling all Youth Actors! Theatre Sarnia is excited to announce that this fall, our Youth Group Programming will return and will once again be offering an 11 week program for aspiring young actors. This program will cover all the fundamentals of acting and theatre, including scene work, blocking, performance techniques, character development, and more! Over the course of our 11 weeks, program participants will learn and apply these fundamentals while working on a play. This program will include a junior play and a senior play, which will both be performed on the same evening. All program participants will be in one of these plays. They will get the chance to experience an audition, be cast in a role (or roles), work with their cast(s) to rehearse, prepare, and perfect their play(s), and develop their acting skills along the way. Our program will culminate in a live performance on stage at the Imperial Theatre this fall! There is limited space available - reserve your spot today!
Performance Date: Tuesday, November 25, 2024 (Mandatory rehearsals on Sunday, November 23 and Monday, November 24)
