Story2Stage is a high-quality theatre education program created by Ebony Road Players, with your middle-schooler in mind.
During this week-long program, instructors Jason Marlett and Perry Dixon teach our students theatre basics like playwriting, character development, acting, choreography, stage management and more.
This summer, Monday, June 15 to Friday, June 19 join us from 9:00-Noon at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church, located at 558 Henry Ave. SE (entrance at the parking lot side of the building), just one block from Martin Luther King Jr. Academy.
At the end of the week, the students get to put all they learned together for a special performance for family and friends Friday, afternoon.
We are proud to be able to offer this $250 program free of charge with scholarships made possible by generous support from the Wege Foundation and Keller Foundation
