[NEohioPAL] CCCT launches "Set the Stage"

[Brian M Marshall]

Greetings!

Caryl Crane Children's is pleased to officially launch our new "Set the Stage" outreach program.

"Set the Stage!" is Caryl Crane Children's Theatre’s new educational outreach program designed to offer children from the surrounding school districts the opportunity to see their first live theatrical show at no cost. The experience, which includes admission to an unabridged performance of each show in the 3CT 2012-2013 season, as well as educational and artistic interaction opportunities, will provide the initial theatre exposure a child needs to foster an interest and passion in the theatre arts for life.

Launching in spring 2012 with the musical Hairspray, “Set the Stage” offers children (12 and under) and their parents, who may be faced with economic hardship, free admission to each production in CCCT's current season. Through a small application process, these families are invited to join CCCT for a performance of each show, played just for them.  All applications must be received in writing and will be reviewed and awarded on a first-come basis, and in consideration of qualifying income levels. Each show of our current season will participate in one non-public performance for the “Set the Stage” program and will consist of study guide materials, a pre-show interactive workshop with the various designers, an unabridged performance and a post-show discussion with the actors and director.
