Teen
For Teens (Grades 9-12)
• S.T.E.P., our Subscription Teen Engagement Program
• FALL (September - November) Classes
• WINTER (January - March) Classes
• SPRING (April - May) Classes
• SUMMERSTAGE (June - July)
Artists in this age group crave greater independence, and our teen classes give them the opportunity to take on more challenging material. Building on the skills developed on our Youth core classes, teens connect with members of the resident acting company to refine their acting skills. We also offer a teen subscription to our productions though our Subscription Teen Engagement Program. If you’re a teen artist looking for your tribe, check out our S.T.E.P. program.
FALL THEATRE SCHOOL
September 24 - November 12
Teen Lab, Grades 9-12
Our Theatre School classes are directly linked to the shows in our season. In fall 2011, our Teen Lab explored story building, improvisation, writing, and monologue work inspired by our 2011 production of The Philly Fan.
The Teen Lab will continue developing original monologues written during our fall session into scene work through out the Winter and Spring sessions, with a culminating reading by teens in Spring 2012. The Teen Lab is a great way to explore acting and play building either as a participant in Fall, Winter, or Spring or all three through out the year.
We encourage all teens to also take part in STEP: The Subscription Teen Engagement Program, as attending People's Light productions through out the year will provide a deeper understanding and appreciation of professional theatre from the perspective of an audience member.

WINTER THEATRE SCHOOL

Our Theatre School classes are directly linked to the shows in our season. For the winter 2012 session of our Teen Lab, grades 9-12 will explore scene creation and improvisation inspired by original monologues written by teens during our fall 2011 session. We will spend equal time during the lab improvising and collaborating on scene creation. Our winter 2012 session will provide teens with an outlet for creative self-expression and friendship, as well as the opportunity to refine story building and improvisational skills.
WINTER REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.
