Teen Companies

2022-2023 Company Programs

COMPANIES OUTLINE: 

Companies is an exciting acting troupe at LCT designed for young artists who are looking to give themselves a firm foundation in theatre. This group will learn about the various styles, practices, and skills needed to succeed as a professional actor or artisan. Companies was created for students who are serious about theatre, and it requires a significant time commitment. Our weekly meetings will focus on the elements and skills involved with the theatrical art form. Companies’ curriculum is set up in units of study to be determined alongside the young artists.

Each Company will meet on Tuesdays from 6:30-9:00pm for the 2022-23 school year.

Our Companies program has two troupes:

  • Jr. Company is for students in grades 6 – 8.
  • Company B is for students in grades 9 – 12.

Tips for a great audition:
  • Prepare to do a slate by saying your full name and age before reciting your monologue 
  • Monologues should be chosen from plays or musicals 
  • Please try to steer clear of monologues from movies and tv shows. If you need help finding resources, please contact LCT’s Education Department at education@lctonstage.org 
  • Don’t be afraid to use the space 
  • Speak clearly and project your voice  
  • Wear comfortable clothing to move around in 
  • Don’t be afraid to make bold choices  
  • Be willing to try new things 
  • We do encourage auditionees to try their best to memorize their monologue, however, remember that a strong acting performance is more important than being word perfect 
  • Have fun!
