Centenary Stage Company's TYRO Acting Program Accepts Enrollment for the 2019 Summer Session

Centenary Stage Company's TYRO Acting Program is now accepting enrollment for the 2019 summer session running July 8 through July 219. As part of the Centenary Stage Company's mission to introduce and develop arts in education within the community, TYRO I for ages 6 - 8 and TYRO II for ages 9 - 11 is a two-week theatre arts program designed specifically for young thespians.

Using structured theatre activities which focus on expression, confidence building and fun, young thespians will learn acting technique through a variety of theatre games and improvisations. The two week program culminates with a presentation inspired by fairy tales and folk tales.

Tuition for the two-week program is $225 per student. The program is broken down into two sections TYRO I for ages 6 to 8 and TYRO II for ages 9 to 11. The program meets Monday through Friday with TYRO I meeting from 9:30AM to 12:00PM and TYRO II meeting from 1:00PM to 3:30PM. The registration deadline is June 21, 2018. Interested applicants are encouraged to register early as enrollment is competitive and limited.
