Compass Creative Dramatics
Week-Long Theatre Residencies


What's included in this program?


What does my organization need to provide?

What does the week look like?


Each day, the tour actor/educators will meet with the students for a total of three hours. 

On Monday, the directors meet the children and cast them in their roles through a simple, no-pressure audition -- no preparation necessary.  After the audition, roles are announced and rehearsal schedules are distributed.  Some children will then be dismissed until the next day, and others will stay for a fifteen-minute break and a half-hour rehearsal.

On Tuesday, the rehearsal times are staggered, so once again, not all students will be required to be there the entire three hours.  Please keep in mind, however, that in order to participate in the auditions, the students must be available for all rehearsal times.

On Wednesday and Thursday, all students are called for the entire rehearsal, including a fifteen-minute structured break.

On Friday, all students are called for a dress rehearsal
. Friday's schedule varies depending on the performance schedule chosen by the sponsoring organization.

Saturday schedules vary depending on the performance schedule chosen by the sponsoring organization.

How much does the program cost?

Can we use this as a fundraiser?
