Join us for Pied Piper Theatre’s Devised Intensive – 5000 Steps

A young child’s boundless imagination faces the test of time.  As the world around them forces them into new and uncharted beginnings; what is left of the joy that made them who they were?  Through a kaleidoscope of visual and physical storytelling techniques, this devised piece will ask the question:  what inspires us to achieve our dreams with a  mind wide open? (Ages 8 – 16)

What is a devised theatrical piece?  Devising theatre is a powerful and engaging genre that encourages young students to take active role in the creative process.  Our students will use the description above as inspiration to create an original production from the ground up.

The class will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30-7:30 beginning on January 7th.

Tech Week begins Monday, February 17 and continues, Tuesday, February 18 and February19.

Ticketed Performances are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, February 20, 21 and February 22 @ 7pm

 Class members will receive two complimentary tickets to be used on the performance of their choice.

Pied Piper Theatre Announces Auditions for 12 Angry Jurors, A PPT Conservatory Production

Are you a passionate young actor looking to take your craft to the next level? Pied Piper Theatre is seeking talented individuals to join our upcoming production of 12 Angry Jurors.

12 Angry Jurors is adapted from the television movie by Reginald Rose by Sherman Sergel that follows a jury of twelve individuals as they deliberate the fate of a young person accused of murder. Initially, eleven jurors are convinced of the defendant’s guilt, but one juror, the lone holdout, casts doubt on the evidence presented. Through intense discussions and arguments, the jurors gradually begin to question the assumptions they had made, leading to a surprising verdict. The play explores themes of justice, prejudice, and the power of individual conviction.

This conservatory-style production offers a unique opportunity to work with experienced professionals in a rigorous and demanding environment.
