Interested in dynamic storytelling with innovative design and interactive elements? Have a desire to reach young people with your passion and artistry? Join us for the FALL 2021 Theatre for Young Audiences production that will tour to local schools! This production is a radio play with visual elements including in-person community engagement. The rights for the play are still in process, once it is finalized we will release the title. All actors cast in the show and members of the Community Engagement team will be required to register for and attend TD 351T Youth Theatre Tour (27160). This 3-credit class, taught by Lara Dossett, will meet MW mornings 8:15-10:45am. Rehearsals and performances will take place primarily during the MW time. Class/rehearsal takes place from the first day of classes through Oct 20th. This play will then tour to Austin area schools from Oct 25th to the end of November. Actors and members of the Community Engagement team will tour to local schools. This will likely look like: traveling to a school, facilitating a short pre-show workshop, observing while students listen to the play, facilitating a short post-show workshop, and traveling back to UT. Students must be available for early morning calls (no earlier than 7am) and will return to campus by 10:50am on tour days. See descriptions below for actors and the Community Engagement team.

T D 353T Stage Combat for the Actor BAGLEREAU, ADAM Canceled
This is a physical acting class dealing with challenges encountered in the presentation of theatrical violence. Conflict is the essence of drama. A drama program training individuals for the profession must address the in-depth exploration of this area of acting. Our goal is not the development of stunt persons. Our mission is bold and responsibly committed action, which believably informs the staging, while always maintain an eye to the welfare of your scene partner. Thus, in this course, commitment and attitude will be more essential than extraordinary skill.
