TOArts Creators Conservatory

TOArts’ Summer Creators Conservatory is a two-and-a-half-week intensive at the Bank of America Performing Arts Center open to high school students. The conservatory focuses on developing multi-hyphenate pre-professional artists of all creative disciplines through creating original theatre works while learning from industry professionals from a variety of backgrounds.

During the two-and-a-half week intensive, students will be grouped into mini creative teams to create original theatre works to perform and produce in the Scherr Forum at the Bank of America Performing Arts Center, while gaining invaluable experience in all different facets of modern theatre production. Under the guidance of award-winning writers, directors, and designers, as well as Broadway veterans, students will gain real-world experience in story creation and development, the process of casting, directing, and producing, theatre performance, technical design, and stage management. 

The Summer Creators Conservatory is open to high school students. Conservatory participants are selected via an application and required Zoom interview. Applicants will choose to apply for either the performance track (which requires a performance video submission in the realms of acting, singing, dance, or music) or the production track (open to students interested in directing, writing, design, stage management, arts administration, or any other element of theatre production). The production track is open to students without experience as long as they can demonstrate a strong interest in the creative process and live event production.
