THE DECKHAND PROGRAM FOR TEENS is an opportunity for high school students to observe & participate in all areas of a professional theatre company. There is no cost to participate.
The Deckhands are a company of high-school aged teens from the region with an interest in theatre arts. This year, the program will have two sessions, and any teen interested in any aspect of theatre production is welcome to join–not just performers.
Teens may sign up for one or both sessions, and all Deckhands will be invited to a final week of masterclasses with professional artists from July 26 through July 30. Interested teens may also work as apprentices on our mainstage productions in various departments, when scheduling permits.
The Deckhand season will include two full productions, one based on the best-selling children’s book Dragons Love Tacos and another title to be announced shortly. Teens who wish to perform in Deckhand shows will be able to audition virtually this year, if they are unable to make the auditions in Clinton. Interested students should register below, and we will reach out with audition information.
