CAPITAL REP’S MISSION IN ACTION!<br />
CREATING AN AU<strong>THE</strong>NTIC LINK TO <strong>THE</strong> COMMUNITY WE SERVE…<br />
EDUCATION AND OUTREACH<br />
Education and Outreach are key components of Capital Rep’s mission, “to create an authentic link to the community<br />
we serve.” Through a wide range of programs, Capital Rep strives “to provide the Capital Region with theatre<br />
programming which inspires a greater understanding of the human condition” and helps “to develop future audiences<br />
by instilling the notion that theatre is a vital part of the cultural life of all vibrant cities.”<br />
PROGRAMS FOR STUDENTS<br />
CLASSICS ON STAGE<br />
In 1995, Capital Rep renewed its commitment to Education with the expansion of the Student Matinee Program.<br />
Performances of most of the theatre’s professional productions are scheduled during the school day with dramatically<br />
discounted prices for area students to allow for greater accessibility. Each season, one play is designated as Classics on<br />
Stage, for its direct connections with curriculum.<br />
ON-<strong>THE</strong>-GO!<br />
In order to accommodate an even larger student audience and to develop relationships with schools unable to attend<br />
the matinee performances, Capital Rep developed the On The Go! School Tour Program. These specially adapted<br />
professional productions are designed to play to students on-site in schools. Last season, more than 16,000 students<br />
attended performances of Pure Poe an original work about Edgar Allen Poe. All On The Go! and Student Matinee<br />
performances feature Post-Show Discussions and Production Study Guides (available on-line in PDF format!) to provide<br />
a cultural, artistic and historical context for the production.<br />
CAST<br />
New this season is Capital Rep’s Cultivating Arts & Students Together (CAST) Program. Students go behind the scenes,<br />
working as ushers and theatre ambassadors throughout the season, earning credit for their volunteer community<br />
service and learning how Capital Rep creates top-notch professional productions. (Ages 14-19)<br />
STAR<br />
Since 1997, Capital Rep has been putting kids in the spotlight! Through Summer Theatre At the Rep (STAR), teens work with<br />
professional theatre artists to develop their own original theatre piece, which is then premiered on the Capital Rep stage.<br />
ACTING INTENSIVE<br />
New this summer is Capital Rep’s Acting Intensive. Students take part in a variety of theatre classes taught by industry<br />
professionals. This weeklong intensive is geared towards helping students hone their craft (acting skills) and learn the art<br />
of auditioning and interviewing. (Ages 15-19)<br />
ARTIST IN RESIDENCY PROGRAMS<br />
Capital Rep works in conjunction with school educators to bring highly trained teaching artists to work in extended<br />
residency within the classroom. Opportunities to embed the theatrical experience into the curriculum are available for<br />
teachers and students for every work in our 2012-2013 Education Season.<br />
CAREER DEVELOPMENT<br />
Capital Rep is dedicated to helping to build the next generation of theatre professionals. The theatre’s Professional<br />
Apprenticeship Program provides year-long or summer-long paid apprenticeships for young people beginning a career<br />
in the performing arts and arts education.<br />
