The Next Stage Comedy Troupe will provide an opportunity for a group of ten to fifteen actors with autism and/or disabilities to form an online comedy troupe as a pilot program for our 2021-2022 season. Selected troupe members will meet with guest artists to further their writing, collaborating and performing skills throughout the fall. Members will also learn the practical aspects of forming a comedy troupe, taking turns in the roles of stage manager, technical director, while also learning basic marketing and advertising techniques. The troupe will manage a YouTube presence and master the essential aspects of developing online revenue streams.
The troupe's first performance will be a comedy showcase in early December 2021. From January through May of 2022, the troupe will present monthly comedy shows online for which they will receive stipends of $100 per performance. You won't want to miss this opportunity!
