SUMMARY:Final Meeting of Three Up
DESCRIPTION:Final Meeting of Three Up\nYoung People’s Theatre (YPT)\, Britain’s Action Transport Theatre (ATT) and the Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP) are thrilled to partner together on Three Up\, a new international program for young writers aged 13-17. Four young people from the GTA with a passion for writing and interest in building their skills have been selected to be part of this five-month international collaboration. The Three Up program provides the opportunity for youth to reach beyond their own borders to build community with peers from the UK and Australia while working with professional\, local\, and international playwrights and facilitators. \nIn-person meetings will occur twice a month with the YPT facilitators and the four Canadian participants in attendance. The purpose of these meetings is to provide instruction on playwriting\, to discuss the ongoing collaborative work with their international partners\, to monitor progress and to share completed works. The five-month training program will culminate with the writers collaboratively creating a script with a counterpart from each of the other participating countries.

SUMMARY:The Wizard of Oz: Pre-Show Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Wizard of Oz: Pre-Show Workshop\nThroughout the season\, YPT offers hour-long pre- and post-show Companion Workshops in connection with our productions\, in which students engage with the specific themes and ideas of a particular show while developing specialized drama skills. On May 11\, YPT’s pre-show workshop is focused on YPT’s fresh new take on The Wizard of Oz. \n\n\nThe Wizard of Oz\nBy L. Frank Baum\nWith Music and Lyrics by Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg\nBackground Music by Herbert Stothart\nDance and Vocal Arrangements by Peter Howard\, Orchestration by Larry Wilcox\, Adapted by John Kane for the Royal Shakespeare Company\nBased upon the Classic Motion Picture owned by Turner Entertainment Co. and distributed in all media by Warner Bros.\nDirected by Joey Tremblay \nON THE MAINSTAGE APR. 4 TO MAY 15\, 2016\nRECOMMENDED FOR SK TO GRADE 8 | AGES 5 & UP\nIn this refreshing new take on the classic family musical\, Dorothy once again tries to find her way back home\, only to learn she must find ‘home’ within herself. \nDorothy and her dog Toto are caught in a tornado’s path and somehow end up in the land of Oz. There\, she meets some memorable friends and foes on her journey to see the Wizard whom everyone says can help her return home and hopefully grant her new friends their wishes for a brain\, a heart and courage. \n“Dorothy is a girl in search of her home. In a way\, she hasn’t realized the people in her life are trying to show that they are her home\, that she matters to them and that they’re her real – albeit chosen – family”says Allen MacInnis\, YPT Artistic Director. “But Dorothy’s adventure in Oz is as necessary as it is fantastical\, for she has to find “home” for herself. Some things children must be allowed to discover for themselves.” \nInnovatively arranged by Allen Cole and directed by Joey Tremblay\, this delightful new production features everyone’s favourite tunes\, includingSomewhere Over the Rainbow\, We’re Off to See the Wizard\, Follow the Yellow Brick Road – plus a song that never made it into the movie version of the story: The Jitterbug.

There\, she meets some memorable friends and foes on her journey to see the Wizard whom everyone says can help her return home and hopefully grant her new friends their wishes for a brain\, a heart and courage. \n“Dorothy is a girl in search of her home. In a way\, she hasn’t realized the people in her life are trying to show that they are her home\, that she matters to them and that they’re her real – albeit chosen – family”says Allen MacInnis\, YPT Artistic Director. “But Dorothy’s adventure in Oz is as necessary as it is fantastical\, for she has to find “home” for herself. Some things children must be allowed to discover for themselves.” \nInnovatively arranged by Allen Cole and directed by Joey Tremblay\, this delightful new production features everyone’s favourite tunes\, includingSomewhere Over the Rainbow\, We’re Off to See the Wizard\, Follow the Yellow Brick Road – plus a song that never made it into the movie version of the story: The Jitterbug.
