The Young Performer’s Workshop is a 15-week intensive musical theatre program designed to teach kids ages 8-18. This is a hands-on program designed to meet the needs of beginning, intermediate, and advanced performers interested in working in theatre. Throughout the fall session, students have the opportunity to learn about multiple facets of theatre arts from acting, singing and dancing, to stage management, props, and costuming. Each session concludes with a weekend Festival of Shows. Potential shows for this session may include Shrek the Musical, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, and Seussical: the Musical. While these shows are being considered, there is no guarantee that the Young Performers Workshop will perform these selections. Enrolled students will also have the opportunity to be cast in CSC's 2022 mainstage Holiday Spectacular, Cinderella, although casting is not guaranteed.
