Training: Young artists ages 9-18 will audition on May 1 and 2 to be part of the main cast of the production. Then participants will enjoy training during the month of June which culminates in performances for the community June 24 – 26th! In the first two weeks participants will experience one week of theatre and vocal training and one week of dance training at The Pam Miller Downtown Arts Center with the ACTivate professional staff including: Vanessa Becker Weig, Emma Becker, Kate Hadfield Antonetti, and Ron Wilbur. The training will serve the needs of the production while learning new skills. There is an alternate program for ages 9-13 to have a one week experience at the Kenwick Community Center.
