A two week conservatory for students in grades 6-8 who want to explore all the possibilities the theatre offers.

Our intensive, three-week conservatory for high school students interested in rigorous, professional training.

The conservatories are led by:
Ian Finley NYU MFA & BC's Education Director

Last year, Ian Finley was joined by Nikki Tores, Director of Education for the Folger Theatre in Washington, DC. A similar quality educator will be hired again this year! Students will learn a wide variety of subjects and techniques in classes with guest artists from fine educational institutions and professional theatres like:

Preston Lane Triad Stage
John Gulley UNC Greensboro
Lori Mahl Professional Broadway Actress
Greg Horn Artistic Director of Transactors Improv
Kirby Wahl Elon College

If you are interested in technical theatre, STC may also be for you. We need students interested in stage management, assistant directing, set design, lighting design and costume design. If you aren’t a performer, but are interested in one of these areas, you too can participate in STC. You will participate in classes with the other students in the mornings, gaining a foundation in acting, movement and voice production, then be assigned to work on our production of HENRY IV, PART 1 (THE 'FALSTAFF PLAY') (Summer, 2011) during the afternoons. You will receive professional oversight in your area during STC.
