Calling all Teens in Love with Theatre

When you’re young and serious about the performing arts, it can be hard to find a place to really stretch your wings. In high school, I was very serious about music, and when I had the chance to play with other young people who were also spending hours and hours a week on their passion, it was such a joy to see what we could create together. Place des Arts has a such a program for teens in love with the stage and musical theatre.

Theatre Company

Place des Arts’ Theatre Company is a performance training class made up of a group of dedicated aspiring teen actors led by director Tim Perez and skills coach Cristi Lowis. Company members meet twice a week to rehearse and study a variety of theatre techniques such as mime, mask, improvisation, comedy and movement while working to develop pieces for public performances. The Company tours a short presentation locally in December and then performs a full length play at Evergreen Cultural Centre’s Studio Theatre in the spring.

Music Theatre Company

The Musical Theatre dancer/singer/actors work with experienced actor, singer, and choreographer Erika Babins to develop performance pieces for live audiences. Company members fine-tune skills in acting, singing and dancing. The Company tours a short performance in December to local community venues and performs in the APEx Theatre Showcase in June.

“I’m so impressed by the teens in our theatre companies. They are all well-rounded young people, many of whom are involved in other extra-curricular activities, such as music, dance or sports, and they still manage to do well academically on top of an intense rehearsal schedule,” says Place des Arts’ Kate Lancaster. “They’re so passionate and their enthusiasm is contagious!”
