Now in its 12th year, Greylock Theatre Project is based on the <strong>52nd Street Project in New York City<\/strong>, which has been working with children from the Hell&#8217;s Kitchen neighborhood for over 20 years. <\/p>\n<p>Started in 1996, Greylock Theatre Project is an educational outreach program that works with children living in the <strong>Greylock and Brayton Hill neighborhoods of North Adams<\/strong> to create theatre. In the two programs running this summer, One-on-Ones and Playmaking, children ages 8-14 will work with professional theatre artists to create original works as well as perform 10-minute musicals.<\/p>\n<p>One-on-Ones pairs one child with one professional theatre artist to spend a week rehearsing a 10 minute musical which they then perform together for the community. The performances are on Monday, July 28th at 5 and 8pm in the Directing Studio of the &#8217;62 Center for Theatre and Dance.<\/p>\n<p>In Playmaking children attend a series of eight classes to learn how to write a play. When they have completed the classes, they are paired with a professional dramaturg\/director to help them write a play to be performed by actors from the Williamstown Theatre Festival. Performances are on Monday, August 11th at 5 and 8pm on the Nikos Stage of the &#8217;62 Center for Theatre and Dance.<\/p>\n<p>The Greylock Theatre Project aims to serve kids in the North Adams community by introducing them to the empowering act of creating theatre. Through a variety of tasks in playwriting and performing, the children strengthen skills in team building and conflict management, and exercise their imaginations through repeated work in creative expression.<\/p>\n<p>The project is co-directed by Christopher Kauffman and Emily Windover. Liz Urban is the Project Manager. Interns are Sarah Pierce, Ashley Stuart and Amanda Ward.<\/p>\n<p>All performances are free, but seating is limited, so reservations are a must.
