Spring Class Schedule
Our 10-week semester will begin on Monday, February 24th and end on Thursday, May 8th. There will be no classes held during PCSD Spring Break (April 14-18).
*Participation Policy: (Fall and Spring Classes)
Due to the 10-week nature of our Fall and Spring classes, only 2 absences will be allowed to guarantee participation in the final recording or performance. These 2 absences cannot be within the final 2 weeks of classes. This guarantees that students have adequate time to prepare for their performance by attending regularly. Students will always be allowed and encouraged to participate during regular class time, regardless of the number of absences they have. For any unplanned conflicts/emergencies that arise, please email/text/call the YouTheatre Administration ASAP. Thank you for helping your child be successful in our tuition-free program!
SPRING PLAY: Alice
Alice is a one-act dramatization of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. It is distinguished by the inventive manner with which Jerome McDonough handles Alice's various changes in size and the numerous changes of setting, with no breaks in the action. Due to his ingenious directions for making all the magical special effects easy to stage, this version is fun to do and fun to watch. Most of the revered characters are here: the rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire Cat, and, perhaps best of all, the Oyster show.
- Rehearsals are both Mondays & Wednesdays. Students must be able to commit to both.
