Technical Certificates :

We have a new program for students interested in technical theatre. Technical certification starts with a 3 hour intro class and then, depending on the discipline, the student goes on to a 12 to 40 hour practical series of workshops and productions resulting in certificates in Stage Lighting, Stage Sound, Theatrical Scenery, Costumes for the Stage, and Stage Management.

Performance Opportunities :

In addition to the “sharing show” at the end of each 12 week session, TAC periodically offers auditions for teen and professional performances. Performances include staged readings, touring school shows, in house productions and productions that are cooperative with other local theatre companies.

The first audition of the 2006/2007 season will be on Saturday, Sept 16 th from 10:00 – 12:00 and on Sunday Sept 17 th from 2:00- 5:00. This audition will be for our version of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. This will be an original musical version of the classic tale.
