Actors Ensemble

The Young Conservatory Actors Ensemble is a unique performance ensemble featuring a themed acting project or condensed play directed by a professional guest artist. Acceptance into the Actors Ensemble is by audition only. Each project rehearses twice a week for 6-7 weeks and culminates in two performances for family and friends on one of A.C.T.’s stages. The Actors Ensembles are named "Tennessee" (6th-9th) and "Lorraine" (8th-12th) after renowned American playwrights Tennessee Williams and Lorraine Hansberry.

This Winter/Spring, our "Tennessee” Actors Ensemble (open to students grades 6-9) will explore the fantastical world of Peter Pan. Under the direction of Andy Alabran, the Actors Ensemble will feature scenes and songs from multiple adaptations of this iconic story, including both the classic musical and play, Peter and the Starcatcher by Rick Elice, and Peter Pan and Wendy by Lauren Gunderson. The Peter Pan Project will culminate in two performances at A.C.T.'s Strand Theater.

Actors who audition for this Peter Pan Project will be expected to attend all rehearsals (2 per week) and prepare/work on material in between rehearsals.
All actors wishing to audition must be available for the tech rehearsal and two performances.
Each actor in the ensemble may be cast in multiple roles.
In this Actors Ensemble project, cast members will be performing scenes, physical comedy, and some songs. Play actors and musical theater actors are encouraged to audition!
