July 20 – August 7 (3 weeks)
Training and rehearsal Monday–Friday, 9am–4pm* (except the day of final showcase)
Final showcase Friday, August 7 at 7pm

Half of each day will be an advanced conservatory-style program, working with professional artists in classes to fine-tune acting, choreography, and song preparation skills. The other half will be devoted to creating and rehearsing a showcase performance on People's Light's Leonard C. Haas Stage. The showcase is designed to highlight every performer with both solo and ensemble work.

What’s the performance? We’re still securing the rights for a student showcase using material from a beloved musical. We can’t wait to announce the title soon, but you can claim an audition slot right away while we count down to the big announcement.

Throughout the summer, teen artists will meet artistic role models, through both formal instruction and more casual lunches and other intersections. From discussing college and professional expectations, to sharing perspectives on balancing a healthy creative life and illuminating the many career paths in the theatre ecosystem, Performance Lab participants access diverse viewpoints and are immersed in the daily rhythms of a robust professional theatre.
