Welcome to KRT Teens 2024! This year our Teens program will go back to the 50s with their presentation of A-WOP BOP A-LOO BOP!

 

KRT Teens offers young artists access to the process of musical theatre performance. In this program, KRT is dedicated to helping young artists develop and maintain positive self-image, understand and appreciate musical theatre and the many aspects that go into the creation of a production, and gain important lifelong skills. 

 

KRT Teens is intended for students ages 11-18. 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.

The workshop strives to promote a lifelong interest in musical theatre.
