a.c.t youth productions
In The Academy of the Company Theatre (A.C.T.) Productions, students receive training in acting, voice, and dance through participation in a full-length musical production performed with a live orchestra. Sessions are approximately eight weeks starting in January and September and participation is by audition. Rehearsals are Monday and Wednesday afternoons, with extra rehearsals during Production Week (the week leading up to opening). There are generally five final performances plus one or two performances during a school day. This is a tuition-based program.
technical apprentice program
“Tech” is a great way to learn about and participate in the magic behind the scenes. Tech students create sets and learn about lighting, sound and all other aspects of production that bring a show to life. Participants get hands-on experience as they crew for A.C.T. and Company Theatre productions, and shadow professionals as they learn stagecraft. More experienced apprentices often advance to paid positions.
A.C.T Theatre Summer Workshop
A.C.T. Summer Workshop sparks creativity and builds self-confidence through the arts in a challenging, supportive and fun environment. Students are able to choose six classes per day from over seventy classes in the performing and visual arts. Early registration is recommended as the program is amongst the most popular on the South Shore. A pre-professional program is offered for students aged 8 and up. This exploration into acting and movement hones skills for the serious student who seeks a greater challenge in theatre arts. The teen summer musical production can also be included as part of the camp day (by audition).
A.C.T Junior
A.C.T. Junior at Summer Workshop 2023 (ages 5-7) is a program designed to introduce youngsters to the arts and explore their creativity!
