Teen Critic Program
Designed for high school students interested in journalism and/or critical
writing, the Teen Critic Program at Shakespeare Theatre Company teaches students
how to view theatrical productions with a critical eye and how to write an
informed comprehensive theatre review.
Teen Critics will be invited to the Press Night for each production (two complimentary
tickets per production), receive a press packet, preferred press seating and
will have the opportunity to meet with professional theatre critics from local
newspapers and members of Shakespeare Theatre Company staff to learn about how
to write an effective theatre review.
After seeing each show, Teen Critics will write a review and submit it to the
Shakespeare Theatre Company Education Department (due one week after Press Night). STC
education staff will work with the Teen Critic to make revisions and then the
review will be published in a school newspaper or online.
Show Dates:
