Happy New Year, everyone!
The holidays have been celebrated, the Spring semester is
beginning, and we at the Teenage Drama Workshop are already working hard to
prepare for this summer’s productions. We are happy to share that we have already sold out one performance to a camp! The TADW staff has had several
production meetings to develop our 2014 program.

Good question!
Our 2014 season will include:

Cirque des Pirates
An original musical comedy by Ronnie Sperling and Chris

And we introduce a groundbreaking new production!...
Joining the Spectrum: A Collaborative Play about Inclusion
Staged by artists from The Miracle Project
Led by director Elaine Hall and her award winning staff
The play will be created by the students with The Miracle Project team using theatre games, exercises, improvisation, and storytelling techniques to generate the script. Approximately 15 teens with disabilities will partner with 15 non-disabled peers to perform in what promises to be a transformative experience for all.
