About

Amanda – Director

A love for theatre and teaching combined.

Theatre Intensive’s goal is to bring back entertaining and affordable teen theatre to our community. We have three main goals in mind that we hope to accomplish with this program. 

The first, and most important goal is to instill a sense of community to teens and young adults in our area who love theatre. Our target group is teens 16-23 years of age.  We are a no cost theatre group. This will allow those who cannot afford the larger price points of other community theatres and high schools to participate. Being separate from the high school also allows us to expand the community to those in neighboring towns and those who are homeschooled. Participation alone does not build community. We will do this by being an encouraging environment to all.

The second goal is to provide training and leadership skills to the participants. We will be working with teen actors on auditions, resume building, resources and acting. We will also be expanding to work with those that like to be behind the curtain with roles in stage management, student directing, costuming, and technical applications. A future goal will be to hold workshops throughout the year covering auditions and resume prep, and technical aspects. 

Thirdly, we seek to offer free theatre to the community. Live theatre is a cornerstone of our community and not everyone can afford to see a good performance. Collecting a free will donation this allows people of all income brackets to see a live theatrical show.
