Our oldest students, ages 14-17, will find each day filled with new challenges. From writing and performing their own songs, to assistant teaching in our younger classes, several new elements of the PGT Summer experience have been created for this program.

Each day, students will take a two hour intensive class in Acting, Musical Theatre, Dance or Improv, as well as a one hour elective class of their choosing. Electives will include Audition Skills, Directing, On Camera, Stage Craft, Yoga and more.

In addition, three hours will be dedicated to rehearsal. Students in the Teen Conservatory will be cast in an ensemble based musical, which will allow each actor to be an integral part of the cast. Shows are selected for their age appropriateness, including subject matter, music and text, which inspire both the actors and the artistic staff. In the past, students in the conservatory have written their own complete musical

Throughout this intense, yet non-competitive process, an atmosphere of respect, support and kindness is maintained in all classes, rehearsals and performances, allowing friendships to flourish and artistic abilities to be nurtured.

The Teen Conservatory is an advanced program. Students should be prepared to tackle difficult material and to move quickly through that material. They will be challenged to work at a professional level, taking advantage of this new intense program to grow and reach their individual and collective artistic potential.
