PTPT Pre-Professional Summer Intensive
Ages 10–14 | July 20–24 | $250
Daily: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
NOTE: There will be a 30-minute lunch break, and students will be responsible for their meals.
PTPT Studio at Thalian Hall, 310 Chestnut St, Wilmington, NC 28401
This intensive packs the equivalent of a full month of training into one transformative week. Designed for young artists who are serious about their craft, the PTPT Pre-Professional Intensive offers high-caliber instruction in a professional, collaborative environment, right in the heart of the Wilmington arts community at Historic Thalian Hall.
At PTPT, we believe it takes more than talent to succeed in this industry. We train the whole artist: technically skilled, professionally grounded, and genuinely great to work with, because those are the performers who keep getting cast.
What You’ll Work On
Theatre Dance Technique: Strengthen your body and expand your movement vocabulary so you’re ready for any dance audition that comes your way.
Acting 101: Workshop scenes with fellow participants and build a concrete, repeatable process so no scene ever feels out of reach.
Singing in Storytelling: Go beyond the notes. Learn to carry a story through song and let your acting lead the way.
Musical Theatre Ensemble: Learn the music and choreography of a number from a Broadway show, performed together at the end of the week.
The Showcase
The intensive culminates in a live showcase on Friday, July 24, open to friends and family. It will be professionally filmed, so you will walk away with performance footage for your reel. The showcase will take place at the end of class between 1 and 4 PM. The exact time will be established closer to the intensive.
What’s Included
✦ Live Showcase, featuring material worked on in the intensive (Friday, July 24)
✦ Professionally Filmed Performance Reel
✦ PTPT Studio T-Shirt
✦ PTPT Studio Tote Bag
