For students entering their senior year of high school

The Hangar’s newly expanded NATIONAL theatre training program.  Students from all over the country will come to Ithaca for three weeks to be a part of this intensive theatrical “boot camp.” This process is designed to provide a top quality experience to prepare students for the leap from high school to college. Classes will be taught by master teachers from the Hangar’s artistic staff, guest artists and Ithaca College faculty.

*Acting students receive cutting edge instruction in the latest techniques in a full roster of classes.

*Design students receive hands on technical training by the Hangar staff, participate in master classes with guest artists, and assist designers from our nationally recognized Lab Company program.

*Stage Management students learn the ins and outs of running the show, by observation, assisting and training by Hangar staff.

*Directing students take part in all aspects of the Hangar’s artistic programs, including the Mainstage, Lab Company, and College Prep productions.  Directors will join acting and design master classes to enrich their abilities as true theater practitioners.

All students will participate in creating, a new, modern adaptation of Frank Wedekind’s classic play Spring Awakening, written and directed by Hangar Associate Artistic Director, Jesse Bush. Shaped by a workshop/rehearsal process, College Prep students will be an integral part of the development of this original piece. This is a unique opportunity to experience artistic collaboration on a world premiere play.
