For Teens
The Rose Theater’s innovative Teens ‘N’ Theater program provides teens ages 12 to 18 opportunities to get active in the world of theater. The Rose produces three teen-only shows each season, where teen participants act, direct, write, design and stage manage. Students perform fresh, thought-provoking work at The Rose’s Hitchcock Theater.
Teens ‘N’ Theater opening nights feature post-show discussions led by teens, including “news you can use” to learn more about topics from each show and engage in community action.
This no-cost programming is open to all interested students ages 12 – 18.
The Rose 100% exceeded my expectations. I was amazed! The set and lighting was amazing; the costumes and the talent were incredible.
