Backstage Pass -
Theatre Perspectives for Students
Backstage Pass allows selected grade 11 and 12 students to take an in depth look at theatre. Each session starts at 10:00am with a workshop tailored to our current Mainstage production and led by a leading member of Manitoba’s professional theatre community. Past topics have included auditioning, stage combat, dialects, set design, playwriting and more! After lunch, students attend the matinee performance in the John Hirsch Theatre. The day concludes after our post-show Talkback (approximately 4:45pm).
