Breakdown
For the past decade, Capital Repertory Theatre’s TYA touring “On The Go” productions have been presented in a variety of schools and environments throughout the Capital Region to very diverse audiences. Actors should enjoy performing for and interacting with young audiences (middle and high school students). There are post-show discussions after every performance (time permitting). Actors must also be collegial and adaptive. There are no overnight stays on the tour. Actors must have their own housing in the Capital Region. The TYA work week is Monday – Saturday. The winter tour features Harriet Tells It Like It Is while the spring tour features The Remarkable and Perplexing Case of Henry Hudson.
