3-Week Summer Youth Arts Institute

Youth ages 10-18 take part in an accelerated three-week intense training session designed specifically for 5th-12th grade students beginning June 5 and ending with three final performances June 23-24. They'll take crash courses in Music, Dance, Theater, Costume Design, Make-Up, Lighting, Stage Management, Photography and Film Production culminating in a large, full-scale, musical theater production of Prince: The Musical, based on the life and music of the world iconic artist.

A lite breakfast will be provided between 8:45 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. daily. Students must be present at 9:00 a.m. Monday - Friday. The day ends at 5:00 p.m. No early drop offs or late pickups. Late pickups after 5:30 p.m. will be assessed a fee of $50 per hour. Students with featured roles in the final production will be scheduled to rehearse on Saturdays.

Student scholarships are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and the program is supported in part by the Dallas Independent School District Summer Enrichment Program, Big Thought, Dallas' Office of Cultural Affairs and BNSF Railway.
