Application deadline: May 3, 2010
Open to all 14 to 19-year-old students in the Chicago metropolitan area, General Theater Studies gives students the opportunity to learn skills from local theater professionals that are instantly applicable not only to the world of theater, but also their world at large.
This summer program is designed to validate the voices of its participants, get them to examine their own potential for creativity and introduce them to all elements of the creation of theater, both on stage and behind the scenes. Utilizing techniques from oral history and personal storytelling, the 2010 program explores loss and tragedy: how shared hardships impact individuals and communities, and how we find the strength to move forward, together.
GTS will culminate in public presentations of an original performance created by the participants!
