Curtain Call's Summerstock Creative Theatre for Grades 6 to 12 is full-day, conservatory-style workshop program in Modern Acting, Classical Acting and Improv. Students hone creative, collaborative and social skills as well as performance skills. The session runs two weeks (June 27 to July 8, 2022), Monday to Friday from 9:30am to 4:30pm (no class July 4), and accommodates a maximum of 40 students. (Students must be entering 6th grade in the 2022/2023 school year.) Those students are then placed in age-appropriate groups for a rotating schedule of study in our three subjects under a team of specialized instructors. The program takes place completely in our professionally run theatre facilities at Sterling Farms, Stamford, CT.
Class work is highlighted in a student showcase at the end of each session. (As of now, we still plan to present all our showcases as pre-recorded, virtual presentations.) A lunch and snack break will be part of the daily schedule. Lunch will normally take place on the playground and picnic area of the Sterling Farms property, weather permitting. Students should bring their own lunch and snacks in a bag or lunch box, as well as a water bottle, clearly labeled with their name. Please avoid packing any nut-related items as a number of students (and sometimes staff) often suffer from nut-related allergies.
All students in this program must be fully vaccinated. Fully vaccinated means that the student must have had their second dose of an FDA or WHO approved two dose COVID-19 vaccine, OR have had their single dose of an FDA or WHO approved single dose COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days prior to the start of the class. Students of this age range in particular have been hoping for the opportunity to further their creative development by being able to explore and respond to the use of facial expression, and to advance their stage-speaking skills unhindered by masks (if possible). The only way to to offer this safely (should circumstances allow) is by having all students in those programs fully vaccinated.
Registration for the program is just $750 or you may sign up for BOTH our Summerstock Creative Theatre AND Musical Theatre Sessions and save $200 off your combined total.
