The Avon Maitland District School Board is teaming up with the Stratford Festival. They’re launching a new program where students in Grades 7 to 12 can learn from theatre professionals.
Called “My Academy” the after-school program examines all parts of theatre work. “My Academy” launches in February next year and wraps up in May with a condensed version of one of Shakespeare’s plays staged at the Festival Studio Theatre.
The program costs $750 but there are grants and subsidies available. If you’d like to apply for the program the forms can be found at the Avon Maitland District School Board’s website.
