The Centenary Stage Company continues their tradition of nurturing young artists by offering the TYRO Acting Program again this spring. The TYRO Theatre Program provides an introduction to theatre skills for children ages 8 – 10. The program runs March 9 to May 11 and meets on Wednesdays of each week in The Little Theatre, located on the campus of Centenary College. Registration is $150 per student and limited to ten students. The registration deadline is Feb. 24, 2016.
The TYRO Program is led by Maria Brodeur, the CSC education director. Brodeur is a professional actress and arts educator with experience in children’s theater who holds a BA in theater and education from Rutgers University.
As one TYRO parent recently exclaimed, “I saw so much growth in Christine this summer as a result of the wonderful handling given by all of you.” TYRO, along with the critically acclaimed Young Performers Workshop programs, represents the youth educational arm of the Centenary Stage Company, a professional Equity theater-in-residence at Centenary College.
