Jonesborough Repertory Theatre (JRT) will be
having registration for its fall classes throughout the month of August.
Classes will be offered for students in Kindergarten through 12th
grade. This fall JRT will launch a new chapter in its theatre arts program.
JRT has had a thriving theatre education program for nearly ten years. Now,
JRT and the Town of Jonesborough will collaborate with EPIC Evolutions in
building the town’s new arts school through the Mary B. Martin Program for
the Arts.
“Arts makes a difference in the lives of our
youth,” says Jonesborough’s Town Administrator, Bob Browning. “Jonesborough
has been a home to our region’s young artists for years. We are now on the
verge of completing a new arts facility, the McKinney Center. We are really
excited about what the future holds for our community and region.”
Beginning, September 10, theatre arts classes will
be held on Mondays from 4 to 5 p.m. for students in 5th-7th
grade and from 5 to 6:30 p.m. for students in 8th -12th
grades. On Tuesdays, classes will be offered for students in kindergarten
through 2nd grade from 4 to 5 p.m. and from 5 to 6 p.m. for
students in 3rd and 4th grades.
JRT’s faculty is dedicated to the study and
creation of a theatre arts curriculum that combines best practices and
includes state standards. All classes are geared to set personal and whole
class goals in theatre arts performance. Students will engage in theatre
games and exercises that explore introductory and advanced technique
development for pantomime, improvisation, voice and diction, storytelling,
monologue, duet and group scene work, auditioning, movement for the stage,
musical theatre, playwriting, and much more.
