TV Exclusive: Behind the Scenes of Roundabout's Student Production Workshop!

Roundabout Theatre Company's after school program, Student Production Workshop (SPW) is a student-led theatre company modeled after Roundabout's professional theatre production process. Students apply for leadership positions (Playwright, Artistic Director, Managing Director, Technical Director and Stage Manager) and once they are selected, they lead their company of actors and designers through several months of rehearsal, leading up to a final performance. To enhance their leadership skills, the student leaders meet with their counterparts at Roundabout throughout the process. While mentored by education staff, the students are solely responsible for all artistic and managerial decisions. The participants are offered a safe environment to create art that interests and excites them. Since the inception of the program, 100% of seniors who participated graduated high school.

Earlier this month the students met with the company of Roundabout Underground's Little Children Dream of God. Go behind the scenes of the special day below!
