Fall 2020 Programming

Through artistic training and performance opportunities, The Young Company at Greater Boston Stage Company develops life skills such as confidence, self-discipline, and collaboration to inspire and prepare young actors for future creative engagement and success.
​
Each spring and fall we offer a variety of programs designed for students to have fun as they grow as artists and people in a supportive and creative environment.  

Acting Classes and Private Voice Lessons develop confidence, empathy, ownership and agency through performing in process-oriented environments. Our focus turns towards the ‘Good People’ aspect of our motto as we work to develop artistic appreciation and understanding with The Theatre Club.
 
Our goal is to prepare you for your next theatrical adventure, as well as for all future life endeavors all while having fun!


ONLINE WEEKLY ACTING CLASSES | $200
Mondays 3:30pm to 4:45pm - 8 weeks beginning October 5, 2020 to November 23, 2020
Section 1: Grades 4 to 6
Section 2: Grades 7 to 9
Class Size: 4 to 16 students

These acting classes will focus on using monologues and short scenes to build confidence in their actors’ instincts – from using one’s whole body, to finding a unique voice, to delving into dynamic interpretations of text. This class is open to both first-time students and returning actors. 
Note: While these classes are slated to be online, we will continue to monitor the situation and open up conversations about doing monologue work in person.
The Theatre Club...at home! | $5 per week
Sundays at 6pm - 8 weeks beginning October 11, 2020
​All Ages Welcome*

For the past two years, The Young Company has traveled all around Boston seeing amazing plays and musicals produced by local companies. This year The Young Company will travel the whole world….all from the safety and comfort of our own couches. 

Each week, we will watch a free streaming piece of theatre together. With a live chat set up during the stream and a conversation with staff and students after the steam, we will discuss design elements, execution, direction, and important messages/moments from the piece. 
 
*Once each piece is selected we will contact families so you may do the research to see if it is something you feel is age appropriate for your student. We will include our recommendations, but we understand that each family is different.
ONLINE WEEKLY MASTER CLASSES | $25 per class, $160 per series
Tuesdays 7pm-9pm - 8 weeks beginning Oct 6 
Grade: 9 to 12
Class Size: 4 to 20 students

Want to learn about playwriting? What about directing or producing? How about subjects like self care for artists, the evolution of virtual theatre, or anti-racist theatre actions?

Each week The Young Company will hold a 2 hour master class exploring a variety of subjects in the theatre world. These interactive master classes will open the doors to new areas of theatre for many, and allow those familiar to dive deeper. With a rotating set of instructors and topics, there will be a class that is exciting for everyone. 

Note: Specific class schedule will be updated in the coming weeks.

With a new combination each week, this class is a great chance to get outside safely, have some fun, and learn both Broadway and original choreography! 

Note: Masks and Social Distancing will be strictly adhered to. Choreography will be adapted so students will not cross paths. All students and staff will be required to fill out a form to make sure they have been symptom free and not recently exposed to any cases of Covid-19 at home or in school.  Any inclement weather will result in a cancelled class.
