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!

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.
