Summer Job Training for Youth is an 8-week program designed to increase the employment capabilities of inner-city youth. We equip them with skills that will enable them to have a career in the technical theater arts. Student employees are also trained in job search skills, including resume development, interviewing skills and other necessary competencies to successfully obtain employment.
Students will:
- Explore areas of theater production including; set design and construction, lighting, costume design and stage management.
- Create, produce and market their own script to be performed on the stage of the Black Ensemble Theater.
- Perform, and film an on-camera project which will be featured in the culminating show.
