Design and Tech Academy (Entering 6-12 grades)

Connect with professionals and build your resume! Through hands-on work in the classroom and backstage, students explore the roles of deck crew, sound and lighting technicians, dressers, and stage management. Learn valuable skills to take back to the theatre programs at your own schools and become eligible to serve on Youth Academy backstage crews for productions year-round. This learning experience culminates with applied work on Orlando REP’s Youth Academy production of Disney’s Descendants: The Musical!
