TYPICAL SEASON
|
SPRING
We typically produce two shows in the spring: An Apprentice production and a Journeyman production. Apprentice productions are selected to encourage development of actors of all ages and experience levels, while Journeyman productions invite more experienced actors to develop their skills working with more sophisticated and complex material.
|
SUMMER
Roustabout's summer theater camp offers actors of all ages and experience levels the chance to develop their acting, dancing and singing skills while working on the production of a professionally produced show.
|
FALL
In the Fall, we will typically either produce a show with seasonal appeal or offer our Conservatory Classes.

Conservatory classes
In addition to working on productions, Roustabout Theater offers our students the opportunity to further develop their skills through our Conservatory Classes. Held every other year, our classes provide training in acting, solo vocal performance, choral vocal performance, diction, dialect, movement, dance (stage, modern, mass and tap), improv and stage combat.
