May 19 –Intro to Director’s Process with Val Planche – Are you a director that wants to deepen your craft? Or an actor who has been dreaming of taking the leap into the role of director? Join Valerie Planche as she leads a workshop for beginners, practicing and experienced Directors that will explore the nuts and bolts of what goes into the storytelling process. From idea to production; what is required to create a dynamic story for the stage!
June 8 – Masks Inside and Out with Steve Jarand – We all hide behind different versions of ourselves. But if we wear a real mask and play the game of disguise, honest expression turns our self-consciousness into an adventure. In this workshop we’ll approach the actor’s endeavor with detachment and selflessness. Masks and mask exercises will help train feeling rather than thinking, instinct over planning and reacting instead of the on-going chore of acting.
June 15 – G&S JR Registration available to the public *Please note: Current participants of G&S JR are given the opportunity to register first, and as such, our programs can fill. Please call the office if you have questions.

June 30 – Early Bird Deadline for 2019/2020 Subscriptions (Subscriptions forms available online May 1 & at the theatre during Princess Ida)
