Junior Repertory Company
Members of the company participate in actor training at a level comparable with that of a post-secondary university or conservatory program. The emphasis of class work has two parts: teamwork and excellence. This is reflected in every aspect of the curriculum from improv work to rehearsal of shows.
Membership is by audition and invitation only.
The program consists of twenty-six classes of training and rehearsal followed by a spring performance. The training period runs from September to April on Sundays. Weekly five-hour class sessions teach acting, improvisation, theatre history, dance and singing, followed by rehearsal and performance of a play.
