THE ACADEMY PLAYERS

BHCT is focusing its mission on training and technique to encompass theatrical experiences that support individual growth, collaborative play, and artistic exploration.  We focus our sessions on technique as well as individual development.  The Academy is intended as a training program for students who are interested in advancing their skills. 

Interested students MUST audition to become an Academy Player

To become an Academy Player: Prepare an audition of a one minute memorized piece.  That piece may be a monologue (published or self-written), a poem, a commercial, etc.  It simply must be prepared and memorized.  Please no vocal music auditions.  Please contact Anita at anita.ross@wcpbhct.org in order to schedule an audition or with any questions or concerns.
