Think you have what it takes to write an original play?
Direct a comedy? Maybe you want to sharpen your audition skills to land that role you’ve always wanted, or maybe you just want to hang out with some friends and watch plays. For all of this and so much more, become a part of the new Venturing program at The Clemson Little
Theatre. CLT’s new Venturing Crew is for youth ages
14 through 20 who are looking for a way to become more involved in theatre in our area, whether you just enjoy watching plays or want to pursue a career in live theatre, this is the place for you.
Venturing is a youth run program that allows the participants to select the activities and adventures they want to participate in. Want to learn to write a play? We will invite accomplished playwrights to work with those interested to complete their own original scripts. We will bring in experts in many fields to work with Crew members to explore their interests. Activities can include trips to area theatres to see shows, backstage tours, designing scenery or costumes or lights for CLT productions, maybe even a trip to New York to see shows on Broadway.
The only limits are the ones you put on yourselves.
We are currently in the organizational phase for this new program and hope to have our first open house very soon. If you are interested in being a part of our Crew, please contact Linda Lavold at the theatre office and she will get you on our contact list or for more information.
Call 864-646-8100 or email: CLTplays@gmail.com
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED AND APPRECIATED!
If you have ever wanted to be part of a fun and exciting organization, then this is it! Spend some time with us as an usher for a show or help set up refreshments. There is a need for people to help build sets, organize the prop area and costume room--all with other great folks that will soon become friends! Absolutely no experience needed. We would love you to join our growing family!
