After a two-year hiatus, Two River
Theater’s Summer Intensives are back! Students ages 13–18 can stretch their
artistic muscles this summer and create a show in just one week. The Onstage
Track is perfect for actors, dancers, and singers and the Backstage Track is
where technicians and designers can dig deep into the show-building process.
Every week has a theme for the performance, and a specific area of focus for
the Backstage Track.
“Two River’s Summer Intensives program is for young theater-makers, students who are interested in more than simply memorizing a script or pulling open a curtain,” says Director of Education Kate Cordaro. “Our students truly help to shape each week’s performance with their insights into the weekly themes and the interests, talents, and willingness to learn that they bring to the table. The list of skills gained each week in both the Onstage and Backstage Tracks is astonishing. We can’t wait to get started!” (Above: Opening Act 2021. Photo by Brad Resnick)
This year’s team of professionals helping to guide and shape the show are Rakesh Palisetty as Onstage Track Director, Elliot Roth returning as Onstage Track Music Director, Lea Anello and Shane O’Neil returning as Backstage Track Co-Directors, and Shannon Rossi joining as Associate Director for Backstage Track.
*Each week runs Monday to Friday
from 9AM to 4PM, with a performance each Friday at 7PM. Participants can take
one, two, or all three weeks, and switching between multiple tracks while
taking multiple weeks is encouraged.
