About the High School Project
FOSTERING THE NEXT GENERATION OF CANADIAN THEATRE ARTISTS
For 26 years, the Grand Theatre High School Project has offered an exceptional opportunity for students to receive education and training in the working environment of a professional theatre, at no cost to the participants.
High school students from the London area are mentored by professional artists and coaches in all departments (performance, stage management, props, wardrobe, scenic art, orchestra, sound, lighting, marketing, and more), culminating in a production staged in the Grand’s 839-seat theatre: the Spriet Stage. The initiative provides leadership, creative skills, and communication aptitude that serve these students on and off stage - in every area of their lives.
The three main goals of the High School Project are:
- To celebrate the talent of London and area's secondary school students, and the drama, music & art teachers who have helped develop that talent
- To create an opportunity for these students from various schools to meet, connect and work with one another
- To enable the students to develop their talents through experience working with theatre professionals
