TYP's 2021 Summer camps
TYP's 10-Minute Play Project by jennifer kirkeby
This show is live streaming April 2 & 3 at 7pm and April 4 at 4pm
Please join us for an evening of 10-minute plays performed by the young artists in Theater for Young Professionals' Monday night acting class. Characters laugh, cry, fume, hate, plead and question life and death, good and bad in this collection of plays woven with humor and heart. Prom Royalty: What begins as a wonderful parade ride for high-school royalty dissolves into a hilarious disaster. Ghost Trackers: Four high-school students visit a haunted house in the hopes of catching paranormal activity for a school project. Subtext: Boy and Girl are on a first date. Their inner thoughts (Sub and Text) follow them around saying what Boy and Girl are really thinking. Danny: Three sisters visit their brother, Danny's, gravesite on the one-year anniversary of his death. I'll Be Seeing You (performed twice): Two friends are reunited briefly a week after one of them committed suicide.
