For the first time, A Noise Within Theatre opens its rehearsal room doors to teen artists with our pilot Theatre Immersion Program. Selected participants will be given rare access to key events and rehearsals in the production timeline, gaining knowledge of the professional theatre-making process through firsthand experience. By providing an opportunity to observe the creation of a show and meet and network with leaders of the Los Angeles theatre industry, we hope that this program will support the next generation of theatre-makers on their theatre career journey. In addition to observing the rehearsal room, participants will meet 1:1 with a mentor member of the creative team.
