Please plan to attend workshop sessions from Monday, August 15 – Thursday, August 18. Consider it “pre-season training” for the upcoming year of theatre at PMHS! You will receive inside info about Dracula auditions, and have the opportunity to learn & practice acting techniques that we’ll be looking for in the upcoming auditions! And it’s FREE!
PLEASE TRY TO ATTEND ALL SESSIONS, IF POSSIBLE! We have not done a serious drama in a LONG time at PM – and you will benefit from this experience. The more time you put in, the more you’ll get out of it! Remember, that the stakes are high – we’ll be performing at the state Thespian conference in December – and we have high expectations for students involved in our program!
Sessions will run from 12:30 – 3:00 each day – and students will rotate through 2-3 stations each day. Instructors are members of Penn Manor Productions staff: Mrs. Carole Shellenberger, Mr. Mark Dennis, and Mrs. Melissa Mintzer.
Monday:
- What to expect when you’re a part of our show
- Observing & Analyzing Others
- How to give constructive criticism
- Stage Directions
Tuesday:

It figures that I would first see this post two hours after the last session ends. Darn 🙁
I RSS’d the page so that it won’t happen again (hopefully).
