8th Annual Youth Theater Workshop

Rebecca Tebbs Nunn will direct the 8th annual Youth Theater Workshop offered by The Lancaster Players. Nunn acted professionally for twenty years including the Helen Hayes Repertory Theatre on Broadway and has directed over 50 major productions from New York to Florida in addition to performing in radio and television commercials. Students will learn Method Acting during the 10 classroom sessions at The Lancaster Playhouse in White Stone.

During the two weeks of fun and preparation, the students (ages 10-18) will learn about lighting, costuming, set construction, backstage management and special effects in addition to performance skills. The workshop will conclude with two evening performances open to the public. These young actors will perform scenes from Greek tragedy and comedy, Shakespeare, contemporary theatre, avant-garde theatre, theatre of the absurd, existentialistic theatre, Broadway musicals and modern theatre.

This opportunity for young people to learn and grow their self-confidence is offered for only $150, which includes a “workshop tee shirt.” Scholarships are available from The Lancaster Players for anyone who needs financial assistance. This opportunity is available because of the donation of time and talent by Rebecca Tebbs Nunn, her faculty, and The Lancaster Players’ commitment to the development of acting talent within the community.
