Young People
Calling all students and teachers interested in the performing arts. Arizona Theatre Company’s education department wants you!
Have you always wanted to tell everyone how you really feel? Well, here’s you chance. Tell everyone at your high school how you really feel about professional theatre shows right here in your community. Arizona Theatre Company is currently enrolling students in its Teen Critic Program which focuses on journalism and critical writing while exposing students to professional theatre, helping them learn about the aesthetics and qualities that make professional theatre wonderful to behold. Learn what it takes to create a theatrical production from theatre professionals, meet with local journalists about how to write a review and how it is chosen for print, and then use these acquired skills to write your very own review for your school newspaper.

The Wasserstein Project consists of twenty students from various Tucson high schools and sixty from various Phoenix high schools who represent the area’s diversity. All participating students will see seven theatrical performances and participate in an active discussion with the project leaders while enjoying a meal with new friends from other local high schools. Imagine seeing seven incredible performances, participating in seven stimulating discussions with people of similar interests, and creating lasting relationships with each other and the theatre. To join this spring project, interested students are required to write an essay explaining why he or she would like to be a part of the project. A panel will select twenty students and two alternates from Tucson and sixty students and two alternates from Phoenix. The deadline for essay submission is November 7, 2007.
The Wasserstein Project and Teen Critic Program are also seeking mentors teachers. If you are a teacher who wants to foster the joy of performing arts in young people, we have a program that is right for you. You will receive free tickets to the theatre, participate in stimulating discussions that illuminate how young people relate to the arts, and continue to help shape young lives.
Please direct any questions or essay submissions for either the Teen Critic Program or The Wasserstein Project to ATC Education Managers.
