Centenary Stage Co. Announces YPW FALL REGISTRATION

Centenary Stage Company's critically acclaimed Young Performers Workshop will be holding Fall Session interviews by appointment only on Saturday August 12 and Sunday August 13 in the Little Theatre located at 400 Jefferson Street in Hackettstown.

Led by theatre, TV and film veteran Michael Blevins, the Young Performers Workshop is one of only a hand full in the nation to offer both formal training alongside practical application. The Fall Session runs 15 weeks from September 9 through December 17. The program culminates in a two-week Festival of Shows featuring two fully realized productions of American musical theatre favorites. Additionally, students of the Young Performers Workshop Fall Session will also have the opportunity to participate in Centenary Stage Company's professional main stage Family Holiday Musical, Disney's Newsies. Classes meet Saturdays by section between the hours of 10am - 6pm. Students will rehearse productions while also studying voice, dance, and acting. Registration is open to students 8 - 18 and no prior experience is required.
