Kicking off the summer is a six-week musical theatre course where students will
shadow the summer production of My Fair Lady. Based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion
with book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe, teens will explore
this rich material and devise original work of their own. There will also be unique opportunities
to work alongside the design and acting company of My Fair Lady, gaining exposure to the inner
workings of a professional production. The course will culminate in a special interactive performance
given by teens prior to the performance of the SF Playhouse production of My Fair Lady.

The Teen Play Project
Instructor: Lauren English & Jordan Puckett
The Teen Play Project is a 7 —week course designed to enliven and empower the imaginative minds of young artists. Students will devise an original piece of work, which will culminate in a final production at The SF Playhouse at the end of the course. The course will be split into two parts: Mondays and Wednesdays we will focus on creating original material through improvisation and acting exercises led by Lauren English*, and Tuesdays and Thursdays will focus on writing development and dramatic structure led by Jordan Puckett*. The final week of the workshop will be spent developing and rehearsing our devised material into a performance piece. Students will have the opportunity to be involved in every aspect of production and will act as writers, directors, and designers, as well as performers so that they may learn about ensemble building and the art of collaboration.
