About This Adventure

Alleyway Teen Ensemble (ATE) is back for more creating and theatre-making this fall.

Join us for our one-day sessions for the first time to get a taste of what the full two-week summer experience is like, or to meet up with old friends.

These one-day sessions stand fully on their own, and no prior experience is required.


CREATE YOUR OWN PLAY... AND BE THE STAR

Since 2013, playwrights Jon Elston and Bella Poynton have supported the creativity of middle and high school theatre artists, empowering young theatre makers to create and produce 100% original new world-premiere comedies, dramas, and musicals in their two-week camp. Learn and grow as artists while you devise, write, and develop a full-length evening of original work for the Alleyway mainstage!

Now, experience all (well, most) of that magic packed into a super powered one day session. Students will explore theatre games, and develop skills to create their own works of theatre.

PERFECT FOR STUDENTS WHO...

  • Enjoy improv and theatre games
  • Like to write or create their own stories
  • Aspire to be serious theatre artists (actors, directors, or playwrights)
  • Love to laugh and meet new friends!
