The Theatre Lab’s Performance Intensive for Teens (PIT) offers acting, auditioning and optional musical theatre training, culminating in a public performance of scenes, songs and monologues. This acting program for teens is ideal for students wanting to take their performance skills to the next level. Students receive training in improvisation and scene study, as well as an extended auditioning workshop in which they can focus on either monologues or musical theatre songs.
