Clark Youth Theatre has a new program called the Clark Conservatory, to offer teenage actors a more complete acting training. The concept is to give young performers the tools and techniques to better engage their imagination, analyze text deeply and accurately, create rich, specific characters, and take part, on both sides of the footlights, in productions that go beyond Clark’s usual programming.
The first Clark Conservatory Festival will begin with a production of Neil Simon’s farce, “Rumors.”
“Rumors” is directed by Robert Young and features Knox Blakely, Alana Harris, Brendan Jameson, Erika Ralls, Darrien Scott, Aby DeSpain, Caleb Velez, Kacy Sac, Elizabeth Trujillo and Maggie Turner.
Subsequent productions in the Clark Conservatory Festival include “Play Nice!”, Robin Rice’s mystery about siblings trying to solve the poisoning of their hated mother, Feb. 3-5; “I and You,” Lauren Gunderson’s award-winning play about two misfits who bond over Walt Whitman’s poetry, Feb. 10-12; and the comical “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged),” which crams bits of all the Bard’s plays into a madcap 90 minutes, Feb. 17-26.
Performances: 7:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday and Jan. 27-28, and 2 p.m. Jan. 22 and 29 at the Henthorne PAC, 4825 S. Quaker Ave.
