Time to Shine

Empowerment through Performance Workshops

 
The ETP workshop is an innovative 6-day program of activities designed to encourage personal development and foster self-esteem in teens, 13-17.
Summertime at Flathead Lake, Northwest Montana.
 

Each day participants enjoy the opportunity to explore the perimeters of stage performance, attain theatrical skills and develop familiarity with the camera while improving self-confidence and finding their voice.  This is accomplished through physical work, character and voice development, improvisation, and storytelling.


Guest educators
(drawn from professional creative fields) complement the program, working with the participants in
the development of original sketch comedy pieces, songwriting, musical & classical theatre.  

Each participant receives a full scholarship to the program and is selected based on a thorough application process.


The workshop is made possible through the fiscal sponsorship of

Heart of Screenland Foundation

and the generous donations of all our wonderful sponsors
