What is Majestic Education?
The Majestic Theatre Education Program (Majestic Education) is designed to offer the highest quality theatrical instruction and productions for schools and the community. Thousands of students and families participate in the program each year either as actors, technicians or audience members.
Shows
Three Shows are presented during the school year and feature local student actors. Each of these "Shows for Schools" will have six daytime performances per show to allow school audiences to attend as field trips and at least two public performances (see School Shows for details about shows and reserving seats). Majestic Education also presents a one-hour musical each summer featuring local student actors in a two-weekend run. One holiday "Special Event" production featuring local amateur and semi-professional actors of all ages provides an opportunity for both students and adults to participate in Majestic Education. One Modern Dance Program recital in spring rounds out the Education season.
In-House Classes
These 10-week courses offered in Fall, Winter and Spring terms during the school year are curriculum based and are designed to be taken consecutively (see Class Schedule). Majestic Education also offers two week camps for Primary, Elementary, and Teen acting students during the summer months that focus on fun!
Highly motivated intermediate and advanced acting students can continue their learning through practical experience by auditioning for Performance Intensive Classes. These performance-based classes provide an opportunity for young performers to develop skills needed to pursue further performance opportunities. These classes culminate in "Shows for Schools" during the school year and public performances during the summer (see Performance Intensive Classes).
Residencies
Majestic Education staff serve as artists in residence to bring the performing arts out of the theatre and into the community. Both private and public schools benefit from curricula that can be tailored to each schools budget and curriculum needs (for more info see Residencies).
Dance Programs
Modern Dance Technique and Creative Movement, led by Donna Blatt-Ervin joined with Majestic Education in 1992, and offers eleven levels of Modern Dance instruction for beginning through advanced students aged 4½ to 21 (for more info see Modern Dance).
