Stagecrafters Youth Theatre is a dramatic arts program which seeks to help each student realize a positive self-image through the practice and technique of theatre. The program seeks to provide a family atmosphere, fostering growth and confidence within each individual, through their philosophy of process over product. Stagecrafters prides itself on nurturing students' independence while maintaining the importance of teamwork.   From afterschool and Saturday classes to Private Coaching for Acting and Voice, Stagecrafters offers a wide variety of classes and activities for students of all ages from preschool on up. We stage eight mainstage productions each year!

Stagecrafters

Announces Auditions for

Sunday, September 12th at 2:00 pm

at the

Pepper Pike Learning Center

32000 Chagrin Blvd

Pepper Pike OH 44124

 

Please come with sheet music, prepared to sing 32 measures of a song which showcases your vocal performance and song interpretation ability.  There will also be a dance combination to learn, so wear comfortable clothes and bring jazz or tennis shoes.

 

NOTE:  Our audition for JT will be a combined audition with our upcoming Teen Academy production of “The Drowsy Chaperone.”  Therefore, you will only need to do one audition to be considered for both JT and Teen Academy castings.  Feel free to guide your song selection choice toward a song appropriate for the Teen Academy auditions.

 

Auditions are open to any student in grades 8 - 10. 

 

THE JUNIOR TROUPE is a non-profit performing arts troupe run through Stagecrafters – under the auspices of the Orange Community Education and Recreation department.  The Junior Troupe is comprised of 8th, 9th and 10th grade students from the Greater-Cleveland area. 

 

The primary purpose of THE JUNIOR TROUPE is to provide its members with opportunities to showcase and further develop their skills in singing, acting, and dance. 

 

It is our goal to expose the members of THE JUNIOR TROUPE to the work ethic, dedication and commitment required of those who hope to participate in other performing arts venues, as well as those who hope to be a part of The Cabaret Troupe (our established performance group for students in grades 10 through 12).

 

We also value the social aspect and friendships that develop through being a part of any performance group.  Therefore a social committee and non-performance activities are also part of our process.

 

For more information, you can download the Junior Troupe Information Packet here.
