Asolo Rep Seeks Applicants for 2016 High School Arts Journalism Program

Asolo Rep is currently seeking applicants for its annual high school Arts Journalism program.

Helmed by Asolo Rep and Sarasota Herald-Tribune Theater and Television Critic Jay Handelman, this special program offers direct access to theatre artists in multiple roles, the opportunity to write about theatre, tickets to a variety of performances, and invaluable pre-professional experience for a select group of high school students.

Asolo Rep seeks students in grades 9-12 who will bring curiosity and an appetite for analysis to each workshop session; in return Asolo Rep provides a rigorous immersion into the artistry at Asolo Rep and the world of arts reporting.

This opportunity is ideally suited for writers who want to develop clear and compelling communication for a specific audience, for theatre fans who want to see professional artistic work up-close-and-personal, and from multiple points of view, and for students who are interested in asking questions and reflecting thoughtfully about what they learn.

Programs sessions run January-April 2016 at various meeting spaces at Asolo Repertory Theatre and the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.

Submission deadline is December 15, 2015.

For questions, email Education@asolo.org or call 941.351.9010 ext. 3307.
