HATHAWAY BROWN THEATRE INSTITUTE

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.  There is still time to register.



*HBTI*, a part of the Performing Arts Department at Hathaway Brown School
in Shaker Heights Ohio, offers young people a challenging curriculum of
drama, dance and/or music, as well as the opportunity to participate in
informal presentations and 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. This
summer returning faculty include Anjanette Hall (Advanced Acting), Lara
Mielcarek (Acting), Dan Hendrock (Acting for the Camera), John Krol
(music), India Burton (Acting) and Ryan Zarecki (stage combat and Prime),
Bebe Weinberg Katz (dance). New instructors are Devon Shriver (Dance), Andy
Novak (Music) and Kyle Jozsa (Storytelling and Prime). Directing the main
stage productions will be Fred Sternfeld (Into the Woods) and Bebe Weinberg
Katz (Fiddler on the Roof).


Exciting new program offerings this summer include: Storytelling, Acting
for Dancers, Advanced Stage Combat, and an extended Advanced Acting
Workshop (now 3 weeks) along some special guest workshops.


*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.


HBTI 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.com nominations. *A Chorus Line*
(2014) won "best choreography for educational or community theatre and last
summer’s production of *Rent: School Edition *(2015) won for “best theatre
production for young audiences.”


*HBTI* will also mount two main stage productions:  *Fiddler on the
Roof, *directed
by Bebe Weinberg Katz (July 1 – 10) and *Into the Woods, *directed by Fred
Sternfeld (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."
