IGNITE

IGNITE-ing the next generation of artists, IGNITE has partnered with the New World School of Arts for its upcoming 24-25 Season. Engaging high-school theater students in the behind-the-scenes process of professional theater, students have the opportunity to learn the important components of what makes up a theatre company while having the ability to attend every production of the season. IGNITE provides students with an engaging, in-depth experience with GableStage to give students year-long access to professionals currently working in the field who are available to share knowledge, advice, and inspiration.

Designated partner schools are introduced to a wide variety of contemporary theatre works while also providing strategic workshops led by a lead teaching artist.

Igniting the ambitions of the next generation of theatre artists.

In addition to receiving tickets to all five productions, a nominated partner high-school – with serious theatre students – will have season-long access to GableStage artists and company members. 

In advance of attending the production, students and teachers receive the scripts for the season and interactive study guides for each production. They are then visited by a teaching artist and a member of the creative team for a private workshop.

After each production, students will engage in a private Q & A with cast and crew in the theatre. Creative Team members will then re-visit the school to conduct active workshops using text and themes from the play.

This season, we are delighted to welcome The New School of Arts as our designated partner school.
