Due to COVID-19 we are unable to safely operate our summer camps this year. The camps have been cancelled and all participants have been notified and refunded. We will be offering three online classes over the summer as well as free summer challenges so you can still find a way to be creative at home.
OPAS was created specifically as a means to continue to connect, engage, and develop while social distancing measures are in place and our regular classes are cancelled. But just because we can’t meet up in person doesn’t mean we can’t learn, have fun, or get creative – that’s what OPAS is for!
OPAS is entirely an online experience. For those of you that need to regain some semblance of structure we are now offering weekly classes over Zoom. Or, if our schedule doesn’t work for you, you can download one of our webinars, where you can watch the videos and learn at your own speed and on your own schedule.
If you’re just looking for something fun for the kids OPAS also has several options for free resources that will both educate and entertain. You can find scenes from our original plays for you to use at home, as well as full scripts, and games.
In our new upcoming video series, Behind the Curtain, kids can watch inspiring interviews with professional performing artists as they tell us how they got to where they are today – and how you can do it too!
We’ll be creating new content for you on a regular basis – new classes, video series, contests, workshops, etc. So check back regularly to see what’s new!
Lastly, we just want to say that we understand times are hard for many people right now, so it’s especially important we remain accessible and affordable. So for a limited time all of our classes and webinars are being offered as Pay-What-You-Can, this way you can choose the price point that works best for you. If necessary, you can also request a subsidy by emailing register@theatrixyoutheatre.com.
We’re very passionate about OPAS and we sincerely hope that it helps the people of our community stay engaged with the arts during this time. So explore the online studio, check out all our FREE resources, and be sure to check back often as we continue to create new online performing arts content!
As You Wish is an original musical adaptation of The Princess Bride written by director Lauren Hillman and packed with everything you enjoyed from the beloved classic – adventure, romance, magic, swordfights – and of course TWUE WOVE!
Our production has moved online! – INCONCEIVABLE!
Since performing live was no longer an option for our As You Wish cast we have turned our production into a movie that everyone can enjoy for FREE! Filmed entirely in quarantine, from each student’s own home, we will premiere As You Wish LIVE on Friday, June 26 at 8:00 pm.
How to Watch:
You’ll be able to watch As You Wish on June 26 right here on our website, on our Theatrix Facebook page, or on our YouTube channel here. The best way to watch will be on YouTube, where you can sign in and engage with us by liking and commenting on the video. Subscribe now so you don’t forget! And don’t worry, if you miss the live premiere the video will still be available after the initial air date.
Theatrix’s 2020 Summer Camps have been cancelled. Based on the guidelines the government suggests, as well as the venue’s capacity, layout, and cleaning schedule we did not feel like we would be able to operate our camps safely this year. Those who were already registered are receiving full refunds.
