Fall Youth Theatre Academy

OTC at the Brooks’ Fall Youth Theatre Academy is an eight-week after-school program offering youth onstage experience, culminating in a full-scale youth production for family, friends, and the general public. OTC offers professional teachers and a safe, welcoming space for students to develop theatre skills, create, have fun, and reach their potential through the joy of artistic discovery.

This fall, students will focus on the rehearsal process and performance skills needed to bring a production to life. From character work to stage presence, the Academy emphasizes collaboration and onstage experience, culminating in public performances of Disney’s High School Musical.

Show Description:

Disney Channel’s smash hit movie musical comes to life on stage! Troy, Gabriella and the students of East High must deal with issues of first love, friends and family while balancing their classes and extracurricular activities.

It’s the first day after winter break at East High. The Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians and Skater Dudes find their cliques, recount their vacations and look forward to the new year. Basketball team captain and resident jock, Troy, discovers that the brainy Gabriella, a girl he met singing karaoke on his ski trip, has just enrolled at East High. They cause an upheaval when they decide to audition for the high school musical that is being led by Ms. Darbus. Although many students resent the threat posed to the “status quo,” Troy and Gabriella’s alliance might just open the door for others to shine as well.
