DESCRIPTION
Along with producing professional musical theatre productions, Saguaro City also has an educational academy called Saguaro City Studio Arts. The Studio Arts curriculum is shaped by a simple concept - that arts education should be accessible to all children. This is why Saguaro City Music Theatre is honored to offer Studio Arts’ programs free of charge to children and teens of all backgrounds and abilities, including those with exceptional needs.
This June, we will be offering our summer program called STUDIO ARTS PRESENTS, which is a three week musical theatre camp that focuses on learning, rehearsing, and performing a professional live musical theatre production for the public. This year, our campers will be in the ensemble cast of SHREK THE MUSICAL (Theatre For Young Audiences), and will have to learn the music, choreography, and staging alongside professional adult performers (YOU!), to create a unique production unlike any other.
​
SEEKING
We are seeking actors to play some of the principal/supporting roles in SHREK THE MUSICAL TYA, as well as to be teaching artists, helping to guide and teach our young performers throughout the rehearsal process, lead theatrical learning activities, and to be role models for them. Working with our campers is equally as important a role as the part played in the production, so it is important that those auditioning enjoy working with children. The characters and roles are described in the Adult character breakdown. These are all paid positions.
