AUDITIONS
ATY does not pre-cast roles, play favorites or discriminate. We believe everyone should be treated equally regardless of race, sex, gender identification, sexual orientation, national origin, native language, religion, age, disability, body type or any other characteristic. We strongly believe that our differences, as well as our unique experiences and stories make us stronger and we invite all who are interested to audition!
DIY Theatre: Devise It Yourself!
ATY is excited to present a new kind of performance opportunity! We welcome back ATY favorite director, Lauren Rotante (Imagine a Dragon, Lord of the S’mores, and Spooktacular Time) as well as playwright Caroline Lapinski (Lord of the S’mores) for a four-week workshop on devised and physical theatre. This workshop will introduce young artists in Anchorage to innovative theatre techniques not currently offered locally while also giving artists state-wide an introduction to devised theatre. The first two weeks will involve virtual classes focusing on creating a show from scratch, devising scripts collaboratively, and storytelling through movement. The final two weeks will be dedicated to in-person rehearsals and creating an original performance piece, culminating in a work-in-progress showing for the community.
