Portland Center Stage's Summer Theater Intensives for Teens! August 8, 2011

Is your teen longing for a creative outlet this summer? Let PCS introduce your teen to the confidence-building fun of learning performance skills in a stimulating, supportive environment. Perhaps your teen is a rising star who can use an entrée into the professional performing arts community through the city’s flagship theater. Perhaps your teen is a novice performer who is looking for the chance to hone their natural abilities. Or maybe your teen is just a really big fan of Glee and is dying to sing his or her heart out! There is a PCS camp for every theater interest and experience level. Our teaching artists, drawn from Portland’s theater elite, eagerly await the chance to share their experience with your student.

To enroll or for more information, email education@pcs.org or call Sarah Mitchell, Education & Community Programs Coordinator, at 503-445-3795.
