Summer Stock Theater
Would you like the educational experience of seeing what it’s like to perform in a busy theater company. Summer stock theater is what theater students want to do above all else as a way of getting a leg up on their careers. And they are getting a chance to see all aspects of running a theater company.
They also get a chance to work in an intense repertory theater environment where they’re playing one role in a current production and they’re rehearsing a totally different play in an entirely different theater production. Dawniella Sinder ’18, who is majoring in actor training, is excited the opportunity to act as well as work in the box office at Monomoy this summer.
