HAYS – It’s not too late for Hays area high school students to sign up for a week-long musical theater workshop planned in early June.
From June 6-10, incoming freshmen through outgoing college freshmen will create and perform an original musical production during the in-person Lovewell Institute for the Creative Arts workshop at Hays High School.
In just five days, participating students will conceive, write, choreograph, compose, design, rehearse and perform an original piece of musical theater in collaboration with a staff of professional artists. Hays students had a previous opportunity to work with Lovewell staff during a song-writing workshop in March.
No previous music or theater experience is required. To make the production come together, the process needs writers, actors, poets, dancers, singers, dreamers, visual artists, musicians, composers, designers, and creative students of ALL kinds.
The first three days of the workshop are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The fourth day is from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and the fifth day (performance day) is from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Workshops are also being held in Hoxie, Phillipsburg, Colby, Concordia and Salina during June and July. Students are encouraged to participate in a workshop closest to them. For more information or to register, visit lovewell.org, and click on Apply, and then Kansas.
This is the fifth summer the Dane G. Hansen Foundation has sponsored the program in Kansas. Each student can participate for a significantly discounted fee of $50.
Scholarships are available.
The Lovewell Institute is a not-for-profit organization based in Florida, but its roots are in Kansas. Lovewell’s professional artists offer workshops across the United States and internationally.
