Theatre--Workshops

The Summer Youth Shakespeare Ensemble announces registration for its sixth season. The 15-day intensive performing arts camp runs July 6-20, 2008 with performances of The Tempest on July 25, 26, & 27, 2008; all activities take place at the Acadiana Center for the Arts.

Students ages 10-senior in high school study all aspects of the performing arts with professional faculty members and an extensive support staff. Hector LaSala teaches set design; Cissy Whipp, dance & choreography; Danny Devillier, music; Laura Sellers, costume design; and Amy Waguespack, acting and directing. Rounding out the staff: Hannah Briggs, Ricky Briggs, Lian Cheramie, Harmony Decker, Sam Dooley, Kara Guarisco, Paige Krause, Brooke LeBleu, Megan LeBleu, and Mary Pierce.

Each day begins with an hour long company class followed by small group workshops where students study in age and experience based groups. Afternoons are spent applying what they have learned in their workshops to their full production of Shakespeare's The Tempest.

Tuition for the camp is $500; some partial scholarships are available. For more

The first will take place on Wednesday April 2, 2008 from 6-7 PM, the second on Saturday April 5, 2008 from 2-3 PM at the Acadiana Center for the Arts.
