This workshop begins a new program at Hubbard Hall: a young theater company in which the actors write their own plays, choreograph movement and dance, compose music, design and build sets, create graphics and marketing concepts. Each student will be a leader in one aspect of the production, and will assist other student leaders. Adult mentors will serve the artistic and entrepreneurial ideas of the company members. The title for this summer’s production will be decided by the participants.
