Practice your tech skills hands on!

Technical Theatre Program

Alright, so you've been doing tech at your school theatre for a few years now. You know how to sew a fitted skirt, paint a flat, build a periactoid, complete a costume change in under thirty seconds, call cues and break into the sound booth (for legitimate purposes only, of course). If you're a real tech kid, you know everything about the theatre you work in.

But what happens when you go outside the theatre?

Join Traveling Players Ensemble's challenge of bringing great theatre to the great outdoors. Learn the ins and outs of touring a classical show to amphitheaters. Experience nature - and theatre - in a whole new way.

TPE's program in technical theatre puts you in the shop alongside professional designers and craftspeople. You will work as part of a small crew to create sets, props and costumes for up to four shows in a single four-week session. Learn new skills and hone the ones you have. TPE's technical campers receive individual, hands-on training in all aspects of construction and production for outdoor theatre.

Once the work in the shops is done, you will go on tour accompanying one of the ensembles. The High School Ensemble goes on a three-day tour to Shenandoah National Park. The Commedia Troupe tours for 9 days; the Traveling Troupe is on the road for two weeks, going all the way down to Colonial Williamsburg. Tech campers aren't just roadies; they become valued members of the ensemble, sharing equally in the responsibilities and rewards of the tour while learning all the skills of running a touring outdoor show.

For more information, click here.

See individual programs for dates and tuition. Interested in doing tech for Commedia or Traveling Troupe? Call 703-987-1712 to set-up an interview or email Jeanne at jeharrison@travelingplayers.org.

All's Well that Ends Well

Want to perform Shakespeare? Check out our High School Ensemble! Four weeks of Shakespeare fun with a sweet 3-day performance tour performing "Shakespeare in the Park" in Shenandoah National Park.

All's Well that Ends Well is Shakespeare's unconventional girl-gets-boy story. A doctor's daughter labors to win the love of a young count, surmounting class difference, long distance, and his own reluctance. Along the way, she's assisted by royalty, fools and a virgin in this cynical romance that ends happily.

Summer Dates:
July 20 - August 14
High School Ensemble

A couple of spaces are still available for our middle school productions!

Perform in comedies that embrace the true spirit of wandering entertainers! Moliere’s The Imaginary Invalid and The Bourgeois Gentleman serve up a mix of phony doctors, pompous teachers, clever servants, hypochondriacs, hapless lovers and two of the wackiest tricks Moliere ever wrote. The productions will perform for area camps, libraries, scouts and children’s hospitals – as well as a public festival.

Summer Dates:
June 22 - July 17
Middle School Ensemble.

Want to learn the right way to die onstage? To kill? To master the pratfall? Traveling Players offers intensives this summer in Stage Combat and Clowning. Learn these elements of entertainment with the best, in one action-packed week.

Summer Dates:
July 27-31 and August 3-7
