"I am jazzed about all that AMT Youth Theater offers. It is a luxury to find a regional theatre home right in the middle of the theatre district. We offer opportunities for youth to perform in published Broadway musicals with a team of New York Artists leading the way. There are classes in musical theatre, acting, dance, voice, Shakespeare, writing and more. The ability to learn and perform steps away from the Al Hirschfield theatre is a huge asset. The youth group have the opportunity to work alongside Broadway actors, including masterclasses. We are also spearheading a program of new works written for children's entertainment. What better place is there to learn about theatre than smack dab in the heart of it? I am a firm believer that arts education not only creates talented souls, it also creates loving, empathetic and accepting ones. At AMT the youth will find a safe home to create and to feel free to be exactly who they want to be."
Mary Lauren, Youth Artistic Director
Stand Up, Reach Out is a 5 week theater workshop that culminates in a new play written and performed by teenagers aged 12 - 18. In an environment that fosters safety and creativity we will work together to develop a play that speaks to what is important to our group. Through writing prompts, storytelling and acting exercises we will work together to inspire a brand new play. The theme of our play will then inspire us to write an original song. The students will get lessons in writing, acting, singing and dance.
Our finished piece will premiere on AMT Theatre’s Off Broadway stage.
AMT wants to empower the youth of Hell’s Kitchen and provide a safe, inclusive space where everyone can realize their full potential through the creative arts. This workshop will emphasize the relationship between what happens on stage and what happens in the world around us, this program will promote an embodied and intellectual understanding of theater as a catalyst for empathy, empowerment, and action.
