Piper Theatre Workshop

Dates: July 2 – 28
Times:  9 am – 5 pm
Tuition: $1500 for four-week session

Join us for Piper Theatre Workshop – one of the most exciting drama programs in Brooklyn. Under the care of experienced directors, each child becomes part of a small company of student actors creating a challenging theatrical production. Days are broken up by Specials – classes in fight choreography, improvisation, puppetry, theatre games and vocal technique.

Auditions for specific roles will take place on Monday, July 2, the first day of the program. Preferences will be considered in selection but are NOT guaranteed. Students MUST participate in each of the final performances to be a part of the workshops.

Pinocchio. Adapted from the Carlo Collodia stories. Directed by Mollie Lief. The dark tale of a wooden puppet who yearns to become a real human boy. His adventures take him to places both grim and exciting – with the help of Geppetto, the blue-haired fairy, and of course, a talking cricket.

James and the Giant Peach. Directed by Meredith Hackett. The adventures of James Henry Trotter, who escapes his terrible aunts, Spiker and Sponge, and travels the world with giant insects in a flying peach.

The Winter’s Tale. By William Shakespeare. Directed by John P. McEneny and Vasile Flutur. One of Shakespeare’s late tragicomedies, The Winter’s Tale turns on jealousy, rage and injustice and ends, after great adventure, in joy and goodwill.
