KRT Teens offers young artists access and participation in the process of a musical theatre production. In this program, KRT is dedicated to helping young artists develop and maintain positive self-image, understand and appreciate musical theatre, encourage creativity, and provide experience to the many aspects that go into the creation of a production. Our hope is that participants will have gained important lifelong skills that they can take with them once the curtain closes and the lights fade on their production.
Prior theatre experience is not required! We welcome students of all experiences to our program. All registrants are guaranteed a role in the production. Technical and crew positions are also open to those students interested in working backstage. Registrants are expected to follow KRT's Code of Conduct.
KRT Teens is intended for students ages 11-18. If space allows, the production team will consider opening registration for younger students. Please contact us at kincaidstage@gmail.com if you would like to be added to our wait list.
