Summer Youth Conservatory
The Summer Conservatory is designed to create an opportunity for high school students (9th to 12th Grade) to experience and train in a professional setting. Up to 30 students are selected each year. With the Latino Theater Co., students experience and train in a university-style program to obtain the necessary tools for theater production. They attend courses in acting, playwriting, dance, voice/speech, theater analysis, and movement. The students also read college-level plays and texts to spark their imagination, enabling them to explore the expanse of their own creativity.
For five weeks, professionally trained directors, writers, actors, scholars and theater technicians work with the students as they improvise, write, direct, and act in their own short scenes and poems. The program culminates in a theatrical production created and produced by the students. The Latino Theater Co. Summer Youth Conservatory provides students with unique and valuable experiences designed to help them develop the skills they need to succeed in college and future careers. Our students leave the program with the self-discipline and self-confidence to apply to university-level conservatory training. All participants chosen who are in need of financial aid will receive a full or partial scholarship to attend the Summer Conservatory thanks to the support of our generous sponsors.

“[During conservatory] I acquired my love for Theatrical history and my hidden passion for writing and acting within my very own plays. With Play at Work, I learned necessary carpenter skills needed to build my own sets. The Conservatory’s priorities in allowing students to find their own footing in a part of Theater they can thrive in whether it be producing, directing, and so forth. By the end, I learned not only more about myself and my own preferred style I also gained the support of professionals in the field who give their time as teachers within these programs.””
