Are you a dedicated high school junior with a passion for theatre? If you are, you may want to apply to OSF's Summer Seminar. Every year, a select group of students just completing their junior year in high school come to Ashland. They spend two intensive weeks participating in a wide range of activities designed to introduce them to the many aspects of professional theatre.
Students who attend the Summer Seminar...
- Learn about all aspects of the theatre with classes and workshops led by OSF's company of theatre professionals in such areas as theatre administration, fund raising, stage management, technical theatre, Renaissance dance, Shakespearean scansion, audition skills, stage combat, text analysis, movement and voice for the stage.
- See nine plays in the Festival's repertory.
- Work on projects with other students addressing the challenges facing school drama programs and the arts on a national level.
- Become friends with others who care deeply about theatre.
