New Theatre Programs
FALL 2020 PROGRAMS AND CLASSES:
We are pleased to run four great shows this fall, each will begin rehearsals the week of September 14th. Grab your spot today!
The Y provides a safe, enriching place for children to learn and grow and we welcome all new and returning students! Now in our 13th year, the Mansfield Y (known as the Mansfield Arts & Education Center) arranges students into two groups, described below.
1. The Broad-Y Academy
The Broad-Y Academy is our program for students ages 7-14.
With several performance opportunities per year, ranging
from musical theatre to plays, and workshops and to camps.
Our mission is to create theatre magic for students of all
ability levels, and to instill a deep love for the arts that will
last for the rest of their lives.
Students will learn how to be part of a cast, and a community as they engage in the creation of productions, learning about dancing, singing, and acting along the way!
2. The Theatre Institute
The Theatre Institute is an intensive pre-professional
training program for high school aged students, featuring
a variety of classes, workshops, and full productions. Our
mission is to provide high quality theatrical education,
aimed particularly at students who want to develop and
grow as young artists.
Each year, students are given the opportunity to participate in the showcase class, featuring concentrated training in acting, movement, and singing techniques, as well as several productions. Our goal is to ensure that students are prepared for collegiate theatre at the completion of their time with us.

People will complain about anything — not almost anything, but absolutely anything! In this rapid succession of hysterical grievances, the complaint department takes on everything from Oreo icing to kleptomania and from songs stuck in the head to the price of cheese and on and on and on. Could there be a glimmer of hope for anyone in charge of a complaint department? - LEFT TO OUR OWN DEVICES (age 7-14)

Written specifically to be both rehearsed and performed remotely, you’ll love how the characters in these scenes relate to each other in real time, but from separate locations. A college freshman calling home, ordering from a drive-thru lane, speed dating, a 911 dispatch center, Rapunzel and her prince- you’ll be amazed at the variety packed into these eleven scenes. - ORDER UP!

When it comes to fast food, people are particular – very particular. In this quick succession of quirky customers, the Order Up! restaurant takes on everything from weird food allergies to fanatical health inspectors, from the fear of eating to someone wanting to hide in the restroom, and on and on and on. Could there be a moment of sanity for the three employees who work behind this fast-food counter? - TOGETHER APART (age 14-18) – this is a Showcase Class for the Theatre Institute

The final section of the class will be dedicated to creating a musical theatre showcase featuring selections intended to be performed with characters in different locations.
