RPAC students go from audition & performance workshops, to rehearsals, to a full fledged production. Director Alexis Dascoulias has taken students from ages 10-18 and has created an tight-knit ensemble. In this program, students expand their knowledge of performance (including staging, intention, and team-work) and production (set design stage effects, and more). At the end of the program students perform on-stage for a one weekend engagement. |
