Dreamcatcher Repertory Theatre is offering a Summer Theatre Conservatory for youth ages 10 to 17.  Dreamcatcher's Summer Theatre Conservatory (STC) is a training program for young performers that focuses on a different specialty each week for four weeks.  Classes are held Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Baird Center located at 5 Mead Street in South Orange.   

Professionals teach all classes, and students receive individual attention, helpful feedback, and the support and encouragement to achieve their personal goals.  Youth can attend the Conservatory for one, two, three or all four weeks, tailoring the program to suit their needs.  Each week focuses on a different specialty.
