Summer Independent Production Show Proposals (Grade 10-Age 20) 

The Summer Independent Production is a professionally mentored program unique to Village Theatre.

Students take on every aspect of production, from performing, directing, and stage management, to designing and building sets, creating costumes, running sound and lights, production management, and more. 

From a curated list of show selections, students prepare a proposal of the show the team would like to produce and then submit applications to be reviewed by the Village Theatre Artistic Director, Youth Education Leadership, and KIDSTAGE Production Staff.
