Theatre--Workshop

For the sixth year in a row, Cité is offering its New Voices Playwriting Camp, a summer theatre workshop for young people.

New Voices, led this year by local director/playwrite Jarin Schexnider, is a two week-long theatre workshop that offers students hands-on lessons in the art and craft of making plays. The camp is designed for students aged 10-16. No prior theatre or writing experience is necessary. Through writing exercises, improvisation, theatre games, and group work, students will dream up, develop, and write a one-act play. These plays are then worked and rehearsed, and compiled into an evening of theatre that is produced at Cité des Arts for the general public.

WHEN: 1pm – 5pm, July 14 – July 26, 2008
WHERE: Cité des Arts, 109 Vine St., downtown Lafayette between Jefferson St. and Third St.
WHO: for students aged 10-17
COST: $50.00
Students interested in the New Voices Playwriting Camp should contact Cité des Arts at 291-1122 for information on registering.
