News: The Los Angeles Theatre Summer Conservatory

The Latino Theater Company's  Youth Summer Conservatory at the Los Angeles Theatre Center has been developed under the leadership of  Artistic Director and UCLA professor, Jose Luis Valenzuela, to create an opportunity for high school students from under-served communities to experience and train in a conservatory setting.  Now in its fifth year, this 5-week, intensive program integrates acting classes with rigorous physical training, voice and speech, movement, dance, writing, and improvisation.  The Youth Summer Conservatory culminates in a final performance written and performed by Conservatory students on stage at The Los Angeles Theatre Center. The Youth Summer Conservatory is recommended for teens interested in pursuing a career in theater and performance.  No prior arts experience is required and all students are encouraged to apply by the deadline date of May 15. Space is limited.
