Performer’s Lab Grades 8-12

Each play selected for this season explores a unique invention or imaginative perspective in storytelling. Classes mix conservatory-style skills building, story analysis, and ensemble rehearsals. Students must be available to enroll in the full-season schedule (below).

  • Beetlejuice

    A “screamingly good fun!” (Variety) comedy is now haunting houses in the neighborhood. Based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film, BEETLEJUICE tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes.

    it’s a remarkably touching show about family, love, and making the most of every Day-O!

  • The Liar

    Paris, 1643. Dorante is a charming young man with a single flaw: He cannot tell the truth. In quick succession he meets Cliton, a manservant who cannot tell a lie, and falls in love with Clarice, a charming young woman whom he unfortunately mistakes for her friend Lucrece. Clarice is secretly engaged to his best friend, Alcippe. His father is trying to get him married to Clarice, whom he thinks is Lucrece, who actually is in love with him. From a series of breathtakingly intricate lies springs a sparkling urban romance.
