TRS Youthorizons Offered for the 3rd Year in San Pedro

Feb. 7, 2010 - PRLog -- TRS YOUTHORIZONS offers a four-week intensive program focused on the art of musical theatre.  Beginners as well as more experienced students will find challenges and enjoyment by sharpening their natural talents through acting, improvisation, singing, and dance.  This year, a directing and writing component will also be added.  Students gain skills through lessons and exercises, while rehearsing to perform an actual stage production offered at the end of the camp as a public performance at Warner Grand Theatre.  Students in TRS YOUTHORIZONS will rehearse and perform an original musical work, “Teen Anthology.”

TRS YOUTHORIZONS Teen Musical Theatre Summer Camp is open to youths ages 8 to 18. (Send an email to: camp@therelevantstage.com to request an exception to this age range).  The program is 4 weeks, 4 days per week from 10AM until 4PM.  A supervised lunch period is taken each day at 12 noon for one hour.  Courses are taught by screened theatre professionals.  Parents are highly encouraged to participate in the end-of-camp performance by assisting with support positions such as ticket sales, set building, and other activities that can be scheduled to accommodate work schedules.  Students must have reliable transportation to and from the education/rehearsal and performance venues.  This transportation must be on time.  The tuition cost per student is $400, with a 50% deposit due at the time of registration and the remainder due on or before the first day of class.  Registration forms must be submitted no later than June 8th, 2009.  TRS YOUTHORIZONS tuition costs for the 4-week program breaks down to as little as $100.00 per week or less than $25 per day - that’s less than $3.60 per hour!

Camp starts July 5 with performances on August 1!.

Full and partial scholarships will be awarded based on demonstrated financial need.  Please download and complete the form:  scholarship.pdf from The Relevant Stage's website.

Today, arts programming in public schools is severely diminished, but the arts do so much in the development of young minds.  Students who are exposed to the performing arts and who participate in arts programming lead richer lives, build self-esteem, and are more likely to volunteer in their communities and become involved in civics.  Regardless of whether a student wishes to pursue a career in the arts or simply enjoys the participation and creative outlet that musical theatre offers, their lives will be enriched through enrollment in TRS YOUTHORIZONS.  The number of students permitted in each class is limited, so those interested should not delay, but enroll today.
