OVERVIEW
Shea's Performing Arts Center and iTheatrics join forces to offer schools and arts organizations the opportunity to participate in Shea's Junior Theater Celebration. Traditionally, all organizations and schools that produce a musical with upper elementary and middle school students in the greater Buffalo area are invited to apply. This event is created and artistically supervised by iTheatrics, the premiere creative consultants in educational musical theater based in New York City and offers students and teachers a chance to interact and learn with others who share their passion for musical theater in a professional environment.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Eligible schools and organizations will be invited to Shea's 710 Theater on either Thursday, June 5th or Friday, June 6th to celebrate outstanding student musical theater performances. During the celebration, students from each program will perform one selection from their musical, or a rehearsed piece from a past show for a distinguished panel of theater professionals. These professionals will provide valuable feedback to the students about their ability to tell an engaging story, their performance skills, and their work as an ensemble. Additionally, students and teachers will both participate in interactive workshops that will provide further training and instill a deeper understanding of the art form.
