Park Playhouse II: (13-18 Year-Old Program) Production TBA, pending confirmation of royalty contract. 

NOTE: This year’s Park Playhouse II production will play at night under the lights on Park Playhouse’s stage in Washington Park, with a fully realized, production-specific set and lighting plot. This continues Park Playhouse’s efforts to increase the focus on our youth programming and to feature our talented students.

Program Information
Park Playhouse II and Park Playhouse Kids are summer youth-theatre intensives designed to give young artists the tools they need to succeed in scholastic, collegiate and professional theatre. In addition to rehearsing a full-scale musical production and performing it on our Park stage, students gain valuable experience through workshops drawn from all areas of the theatre profession. Our students have gone on to successful careers in the theatre and many other fields, often citing their experience with Park Playhouse as a catalyst for that future success. NOTE: In an effort to provide even greater depth and variety of workshops, the rehearsal/workshop periods for these programs will be expanded by a week this summer.
