education - at the heart of northern stage's mission, to change lives one story at a time, is its work with students of all ages. We value education and offer programs that nurture, delight, and challenge the generations of theater lovers. The organization offers students of all ages a year-round schedule of education programs, including workshops, classes, and summer camps. The programs are taught by working theater professionals. Additionally, the organization produces a musical theater intensive each summer for students ages 12-18, which includes four weeks of rehearsal and culminates in four performances of a fully-staged, fully-realized musical theater work. Integral to organization's education programs is the youth ensemble studio (yes), a group of young actors who develop, rehearse, and perform work at the organization. Two new programs were inaugurated in 2017 --boot camp and bridgeup: theater in the schools. Boot camp is a mentorship program for high school seniors and juniors to help them progress into theater matriculation. Bridgeup: theater in the schools is a five-week in-school theater program with a mission to increase theater access and learning resources through shakespeare in the schools and musical theatre in the schools residencies. All of these programs are under the direction of the director of education and the director of artistic outreach reporting directly to the producing artistic director.
