Centenary Stage Co. Announces FALL 2017 TYRO ACTING PROGRAM REGISTRATION

Continuing its tradition of nurturing young artists, Centenary Stage Company is offering the TYRO Acting Program for the fall of 2017. The fall session runs September 6 through November 15 and will meet on Wednesdays from 4:30pm to 5:30pm. No class will be held on Wednesday November 1.

As part of the CSC's mission to introduce and develop arts in education with the community, the TYRO Acting Program is designed specifically for young thespians ages 8 - 10 years of age. Using structured theatre activities which focus on expression, confidence building and fun, young actors will learn acting games focusing on acting technique and demonstrate improvisations inspired by popular fairy and folk tales. Tuition for the spring session is $150.00 per student and limited to ten students. The deadline for registration is August 31, 2017.

The TYRO Acting Program is led by Maria Brodeur, the CSC Education Director. Brodeur is a professional actress and arts educator with experience in children's theatre who holds a BA in Theatre and Education from Rutgers University. One TYRO parent recently exclaimed, "I saw so much growth in Christine this summer as a result of the wonderful handling given by all of you."

TYRO, along with the Young Performers Workshop program, represents the educational arm of the Centenary Stage Company, a professional Equity theatre in residence at Centenary University under the leadership of Artistic Director, Carl Wallnau.
