Performance: Saturday, January 20, 2018 at 7:30pm A group of teenage actors at an open audition find themselves "typed out" due to their physical characteristics and decide to come together and create a performance with music that not only defies type, but could possibly even defy age, race, and gender. With Broadway hits like Hamilton defying type and pushing the boundaries, we push the envelope even further and study characters that may even be the polar opposite of what you may generally be cast in. The results are a hilarious, unique, and entertaining performance! The class culminates with a fully staged, costumed performance at Crystal Theatre's Ben Franklin Auditorium. We will also spend a day learning about "type" and formatting an artistic resume. A professional photographer will come in and do headshots for each student also. Learn and grow as an artist and a performer in Joe Santaniello's Rising Stars Program! The Rising Stars Program offers conservatory-like training for a low cost, and values an intimate, personalized environment in which each student is challenged artistically.
