Set the Stage: Theatre in Community Workshop for Teens
Writers Theatre and The House Tutoring Lounge team up to offer a six-part overview of the world of theatre as an art and a craft. Professional guest artists will lead sessions covering a wide-range of topics including design, performance, writing, stage combat, and art in community.
Guest Artist Scott Westerman leads the first workshop of the series, Theatre in Community. Theatre is not just entertainment; it can also be used as a tool of healing and self-expression. In the first workshop of our introductory series, we’ll explore the nature and origins of the art of storytelling. Participants will create short pieces of writing and/or performance responding to events in their lives and community.
