HATHAWAY BROWN THEATRE INSTITUTE

ANNOUNCES FOURTH SUMMER OF

PROFESSIONAL THEATRE TRAINING FOR YOUNG PEOPLE



Hathaway Brown Theatre Institute (HBTI) is entering its 4th summer,
offering performing arts training and professional production experiences
for youth people.



HBTI  offers young people a challenging curriculum of drama, dance and/or
music, as well as the opportunity to participate in fully staged
productions.  HBTI boasts instructors who are some of the top professional
actors, directors, designers and academics in the area, and who have a long
list of successful former students who have gone on to Broadway, film and
television.  The program, a part of the Performing Arts Department at
Hathaway Brown School in Shaker Heights, utilizes similar training
techniques to those employed by the nation's most preeminent drama schools.


HBTI offers programs on two levels:  Grades 1 – 4, and Grades 5 – college.
Classes are available in two 3-week sessions and one 2-week session,
beginning June 20, July 11 and August 1, respectively.


Director Bebe Weinberg Katz said, "While the training at HBTI is geared
toward the young performer interested in a professional theatre career, our
students gain the confidence, discipline and social skills that will help
give them the extra edge in this highly-competitive world, no matter what
their eventual field of pursuit.  The students also find the process
immensely fun, exciting and rewarding, which is one of the reasons our
first three years have been such a big hit."


Over the first three years of its existence, the Hathaway Brown Theatre
Institute (HBTI) taught over 500 students in acting, musical theatre and
dance and involved over 200 of its students in highly acclaimed productions
that have received numerous broadwayworld.comnominations. Last summer’s
production of *Rent: School Edition* won for “best theatre production for
young audiences.”


HBTI will also mount two full productions:  *Fiddler on the Roof, *directed
by Bebe Weinberg Katz ( July 1 – 17) and *Into the Woods, *directed by Fred
Sternfeld ( Performances: July 29 – August 7).   The productions are a
direct extension of the training.  "Our shows allow the students to apply
the tools and techniques they learn during the day in productions mounted
by top professional directors and designers."  Katz added, "It's a rare
chance for young performers to participate at such a high professional
level."
