[Capdist-auditions] RPI Young Actors Guild Spring Programming Fee Required

[D'Amico, Mary Allison]

The RPI Young Actors Guild is entering our 23rd year, teaching the performing arts to students ages 6-18. The Young Actors Guild's mission is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-competitive environment in which, through participation in theater arts, young people can develop strong self-esteem, self-confidence, and valuable life skills.
The program serves approximately 200 children per year from over 40 Capital Region public, independent, and parochial schools. Classes in acting, singing, movement, and dance are offered and students have the opportunity to perform in one or more professionally done productions following each session.

The RPI Young Actors Guild will be holding week long vacation workshops during February and April school breaks, Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 3:00pm on the RPI campus in the Mueller Center on 15th Street in Troy, New York. Each of our Vacation programs will culminate in a 30 minute presentation of a mini musical perfect for elementary and middle school aged students. These mini plays meet national curriculum standards and will be a great addition to our current programming. These acting workshops are for ages 6 to 14 and will take place during the weeks of February 20-24, 2012 and April 9-13, 2012 from 9:00am to 3:00pm. Drop off is between 8:30 -9:00am and pick up is between 3:00-4:00pm.

Each workshop will culminate with a project of some kind. We will make each one different and have some new staff. These workshops should be fun for anyone who enjoys theater and creative arts.
