Outreach & Education have been cornerstones of Staged! from the very beginning.  "Education" is not a buzzword for us, nor an afterthought; it's at the core of what we do and who we are.

We engage our theatre-going public in Outreach & Education programs on several levels:

Musical Theatre Intensives for Youth. 

Intensive musical theatre workshops for advanced students who aim to be "triple threats."  We partner with  top guest artists and casting directors to teach dance technique, acting, voice, choreography, and audition technique.  

Technical Theatre Mentoring Program. 

High school technical theatre students will have the opportunity to work alongside some of the best designers and stage managers in Portland, learning the craft in a professional environment.  We have partnered with Molalla High School's technical theatre program for the 2007-08 season, but all area students with an interest in technical theatre are welcome to apply.

Theatre Residencies. 

Staged! offers school residencies in a variety of lengths with different focuses to meet each school's needs.  Short-term and long-term residencies are available in Musical Theatre Repertoire, Musical Theatre History, Dialects, Singing for Theatre, Acting, Auditioning, Choreography and Dance Technique.  Our residency artists teach throughout the tri-county area.

Inservices.

Teachers have the opportunity to learn simple ways to integrate theatre, music, and movement into their daily curriculum, fulfilling the state standards for arts learning.  Taught by our educational staff.      

Cerebral Mulch. 

All are welcome to join us for lively pre-performance chats and talk-backs with musical theatre artists, writers, and dramaturgs.  Come explore the ins and outs of musical theatre lore with us…held prior to each matinee.
