Busting Out! is a professional summer theatre program for girls aged 12 to 16. Busting Out’s goal is to provide a forum for empowerment for young women through a series of theatre-based workshops, discussions and collective creations. Busting Out! is led by Program Director Anna Chatterton with Associate Program Director Marika Schwandt.
“TELL ME MORE ABOUT BUSTING OUT!”
The participants of the program will have the opportunity to work with professional playwrights, actors and directors on their own writing projects, as well as a public presentation of their own creation. Professional artists will lead the girls in classes, which include playwriting, acting, improvisation and spoken word. Busting Out is an exciting and unique program opportunity for teenage girls. CREATIVE, THOUGHT-PROVOKING AND FUN!
”I would never have thought I could be in a program like this, that you can take something out of your innermost core and it can interest people….It’s validating to have someone take interest in it - my writing. I learned I am capable of performing in all aspects of my life.”
