In just one week, accepted participants will bring together a full length play, Defrosting Popsicles by Susan Emshwiller. The script will challenge and stretch the acting chops of any young actor with it’s unique blend of serious drama and hilarious comedy.
Participants will rehearse a full week schedule as professional actors do and will perform a “two show day” as their finale. Throughout the week, participants will be coached and taught by some of Orlando and Florida’s top recognized working actors in both the theatre and screen.
Focus will be advanced acting technique as well as building the tools necessary to break into the business professionally. In addition each participant will develop their own professional resume, receive professional digital headshots, and video content for their reel.
Participants may choose to pay out of pocket; but, we are working to secure 100% corporate sponsorship funding for this program. Students accepted MAY be asked to help secure funding from local businesses.

Synopsis of the Play
Defrosting Popsicles : Sally's father is on his death bed, but she just can't bring herself to emotionally confront the impending loss. Who has the time to process grief anyway, when you're wrangling a neurotic mother and sister, fending off an overly-sympathetic boyfriend, and wading through the maze of paperwork and regulations that spring up around death? Along with her wisecracking family, Sally discovers that grief manifests in many different forms, and that every individual must find their own way to navigate the comedic, surreal, and bizarre experience that is sickness and death.
