Maryland Ensemble Theatre launches new pre-professional program for aspiring actors
Aug. 7—Maryland Ensemble Theatre is ready to unveil its newest program, The Teen Ensemble, a pre-professional theatrical experience specially designed for aspiring young performers. This innovative initiative aims to nurture and cultivate the talents of young artists through a series of rehearsals, show stopping performances, Ensemble School courses and master classes.
Frederick's Arts & Entertainment district has grown substantially with audiences coming from across the Mid-Atlantic region. The demand for professional theater is on the rise, and so is the need for experienced performers and theater technicians willing to work outside of Baltimore and D.C.
The MET has created a pipeline to do just that. Raising the expectations for young performers in the area with a pre-professional program sets the stage for a local market of quality performers.
The centerpiece of The Teen Ensemble will be the production of the critically acclaimed "The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical." Based on the novel by Rick Riordan, the musical follows the epic journey of Percy Jackson, a young demigod, as they embark on an extraordinary adventure filled with monsters, gods and destiny. Under the expert guidance of seasoned directors and mentors, the students will showcase their acting, singing and dancing prowess in a theatrical event for audiences of all ages.
