The Young Artists at Play Program (YAAP)

What past YAAPers have to say:

"I loved being surrounded by a group of people who shared my interests. I like the feeling of trust and open communication..."
"We worked together very well and I've learned from the other students as I hope they've learned from me."
"I liked working with professional actors, even though they were my teachers, they didn't act like it."

Let's Put On A Play!
A full-week program for middle school students who may or may not have been bitten by the "theatre bug"! We believe there's educational value in taking a script from the page to the stage IN ONE WEEK! It's about concentration, discipline, focusing the energy of this age group and finally the satisfaction of putting on a 45-minute play. We'll rehearse the play, paint the set, and coordinate the costumes as a team. Join us for a vacation week you'll never forget!
Appropriate for grades 5 - 8
Monday through Friday 9 am - 3 pm daily
Presentation on Friday

Theatre Games
For younger students, this two-day workshop provides an introduction to some of the skills adult actors use. We encourage the value of cooperation and group ensemble as basic life skills that are required tools in the professional theatre industry. Students will enjoy two days of improvisation, creative dramatics and musical fun. It's a great way to kick off your vacation!

Introduction to Acting

Multi-disciplined teachers are by nature creative facilitators and this one-day workshop will liberate that creative impulse with theatre games, exercises, and projects designed for use in the classroom. Using professional actor training techniques and exercises, the class will explore the value of improvisation, text analysis, and creative play as tools to inspire learning. Participants will be encouraged to share their own experiences with integrating the arts in the classroom and will discover how these simple tools can actually raise basic skill levels.

YAAP in the Summer!
June - August
Ages 5-18
Call for a brochure!
During the summer months, curious and enterprising students, ages 5-18, enroll in our workshop programs to hone their budding skills or to discover new ones. The Performance Seminar is a four-week intensive course for students 12-17 that explores specific performance skills including acting, voice, movement, stage combat and improvisation and culminates in a professionally produced play in August. The YAAP Ensemble is a four-week program for the returning or gifted student and emphasizes skill mastery, playwrighting, and weekly "cabaret" performances which shape the Final Showcase of self-scripted, dramatic and musical works. For the younger student, week-long programs introduce age-appropriate material in a summer camp format, including special Guest Artist workshops and performances. MRT's Master Class Series provides a full day of instruction in specific disciplines which allow middle and high school students to create their own program of study. For more information, please call the Education Department. 978-454-6324.
