Practical experience with theatre development and production or at least one college level course in theatre is required in addition to Course 1 of the Creating Theatre with Young People Certificate Program.

This course is an apprenticeship that can be done at any point during the Creating Theatre with Young People Certificate Program course of study. In this apprenticeship, students attend weekly sessions of the CAT (Creative Arts Team) Youth Theatre and observe all aspects of running the group, including the management of logistical and administrative concerns. Weekly reflection sessions are tailored to the individual student apprentice’s needs, as determined in consultation with the instructor. During the CAT Youth Theatre’s annual show, the apprentices observe several different directors engaging in a student-centered devising practice.

This course is offered in association with the Paul A. Kaplan Center for Educational Drama of the CUNY Creative Arts Team.
