High School Summer Theatre Workshop to Return to Concordia in July

Lovewell Institute for the Creative Arts is coming back to Concordia on July 11th through the 15th.  High School students entering 9th grade through 12th grade are welcome to attend.

Generously underwritten by the Dane G. Hansen Foundation,  the Lovewell workshop is an all-inclusive theatre workshop where students will create an entire musical production in just one week.  From the first word to the final bow, students will write, choreograph, compose, design, rehearse, produce, and perform an original piece of musical theatre in collaboration with Lovewell staff. 

JJ Parkey, Project Manager with the Lovewell Institute for the Creative Arts, tells KNCK about the Lovewell creative process. 

Parkey says the Lovewell workshop helps students learn how to share their ideas and create collaboratively.  He tells KNCK News past workshops have even helped students find their passion. 

There are many positive ways that Lovewell's workshops benefit kids, and Parkey says that he loves to see the students find their authentic voice. 

Tuition to participate in the Lovewell workshop is $50, but there are scholarships available.  The final performance will take place on Friday, July 15th at 7 pm at the Brown Grand Theatre.  Admission for the show is free, and the title of the musical will be revealed closer to the date of the show.
