Teen-Versionary!
Diversionary Theatre is proud to present Teen-Versionary, our first teen acting summer camp exploring the LGBT experience.
Teen-Versionary is unique, producing a new play comprised of LGBT teens and their allies, creating a safe space to creatively explore the story and characters. Through a two week intensive rehearsal process, the teen ensemble will get a taste of a professional theatre process in a fast paced environment where a new play is fully produced on our mainstage in two weeks.
This summer’s show: queerSpawn tells the story of The Kid, a fourteen-year-old starting high school in a small town. Everyone knows he has two moms, and that’s just the beginning of his trouble. While dodging bullies, The Kid conjures imaginary allies in this provocative, hilarious and poignant new play takes an unflinching look at what it means to be a teen today, and the persisting stigma around the LGBT identity.
Folks aged 13 to recent high school graduates are welcome to apply for a position in Teen-Versionary. Anyone who wants to feel part of something special to apply is encouraged to apply. Because of the advance timeline, some theatrical experience is also encouraged, but not prerequisite.
Tuition: $400 for two weeks. Some Full and Partial Scholarships are available.
