Location: Studio B | 1400 Clinton Street, Hoboken, NJ, 07030

Description:

Students will create a show from scratch!

There is no script, no story, no characters, no themes - all of that will be developed in the room by the students themselves, under the guidance of veteran teaching artist, Hoboken's very own Namibia Donadio-Mejía. 

In a joyful and student-centered process, your young thespians will devise a show together, and also work on certain design elements.

And after four months of teamwork and collective imagination, The MST Players will perform a completely original piece of new theater for their families and community. 

Recommended for ages 7-14.

Price: $594.00 Taxes waived
