Are you a teen with a creative vision for the stage? Working with professional designers and creators, our Production Lab students will have a hand in creating the prop, costume, and design elements for our Teen Performance Lab production of Disney’s Newsies JR., running in the Rice Theatre on Friday, July 17 and Saturday, July 18.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Students must apply to participate in the Performance Lab, which is designed for students with prior experience in acting and theatre (ex. previous acting classes or school/community theatre experience). As we are working towards a final product, a high level of commitment is expected from all registrants. Please read our Performance Lab FAQ before applying.
HOW TO APPLY
The application form can be found right here. We encourage you to apply right away, as we expect a high volume of applications.
ABOUT THE SHOW
When powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the newsboys’ expense, the charismatic Jack Kelly rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions. Together, the newsies learn that they are stronger united and create a movement to fight for what’s right.
Inspired by the rousing true story of newsboys in turn-of-the-century New York City, Newsies JR. is a timeless story full of spirit and heart.
All summer camps run from 9:00am-4:00pm with one hour for lunch. We also provide extended supervision from 8:30am-9:00am and 4:00-4:30pm at no additional cost.
PLEASE NOTE: For the Teen Production Lab, students will have a late start on Friday, July 17 as there will be evening performances. Students must be available for the evening of Friday, July 17 all day on Saturday, July 18 for the final public performances. A detailed schedule will be provided with acceptance letters.
