YPI

Hi Drama Club! This is an email we received about YPI if you are interested.

My name is Cindy Martinez, Program Director of Youth Play Institute with HartBeat Ensemble. Youth Play Institute is a performance after-school program. GHS has been a partner school for a few years now, as Tina Grinold serving as the liaison. GHS along with AI Prince Tech students are auditioned to cast and crew an orginial one-act play that they will create, 10 students will be accepted, 2 of them, we hope will be returning from last session to serve as Peer Mentors.

YPI is now extended from 4 to 5 weeks, the dates I'm proposing is Sept 27th-Oct 29th. Transportation for GHS students will be provided because rehearsals will take place at AI Prince Tech in Hartford. The firsts 3 weeks, they will rehearse 3 days (M/W/F) 2:45-5:30pm and the last 2 weeks, they will tech everyday. The show will be performed at AI Prince Tech on Oct 28th at 7pm.

We can set an info session (if needed) during Sept. 13th/Sept 14th otherwise I can attend your lunch-waves/drama club meetings on one of those two days. Tryouts can be scheduled during- (Sept 15th-17th) and the Parent/Student orientation can be set during (Sept 22nd-24th.) Please reply with the dates you prefer.
