IRT Theatre Camp
NEW THIS YEAR!
High School Workshops
For high school students with more targeted artistic goals, IRT Education offers a series of half-day and full-day workshops! Professional, highly-trained IRT teaching artists will guide young theatre makers in specialized skill sets like audition technique, drag makeup and Shakespeare. These process-based workshops offer a deeper dive, more individual attention, and a fun learning environment where students can explore their expanding theatrical interests!
