Teen Conservatory

Be More Chill

Auditions: February 23rd at 4PM

The Teen Conservatory is by-audition only. 

The Teen Conservatory was created to give teens who have a passion for the performing arts a program where they can work with professional artists, see world-class theatre, and learn the craft of performance in an intensive but non-competitive environment. No experience is necessary, but students must demonstrate a deep level of seriousness and a willingness to learn, grow, and become part of a professional arts community. Teen Conservatory students have learned from Broadway artists and casting directors, been mentored by Gulfshore Playhouse staff, and performed such shows as Les Miserables, the Secret Garden and Into the Woods.
