OCT: Breaking Character

 

For those of you that'd like a preview of what to expect from Teen West: Year 9 - Impact, make sure to check out this work from Oregon Children's Theatre's Young Professionals.  This is the performance developed by Matt and these young artists in the same style as we'll be using for this year's Teen West.  Hope you can check it out...and it's free!

About the Performances

"Frames of Mind"

In the premiere performance of our series, seven YPs present stories crafted from their unique voice, developed in collaboration with Matthew B. Zrebski, Director/Dramaturg. Featuring performances by Karli Jean Lonnquist , Riley Schreiber, Tessa A. Lignore, London Mahaley, Holland Rhoads, Eli Carey, and Sylvia Grosvold. Recommended for ages 14+ due to mature language, imagery, and subject matter.

YP Cabaret 
In this musical showcase, the YPs express themselves genuinely through song and story. Host Lucy Ames, along with accompanist-extraordinaire Darcy White, bring joy, laughter, heart, and soul to the virtual stage.  Featuring performances by Audrey Campbell, Celia Castillo-Torres, London Mahaley, Lucy Ames, and Ryder Thompson. Recommended for ages 12+.

"Below the Camera, Outside of the Box"
Our final performance in the Breaking Character series is an original play written by our YPs, using issues and topics important to teens. Featuring Aleena Yee, Ethan Thompson, Irie Page, Lana Sage, Lulu Kashiwabara, Tia Lempert, and Max Young. Recommended for ages 13+ due to mature themes.
