TRaC is back.

As if you didn’t know — the summer Teen Reviewers and Critics (TRaC) program is NOW recruiting for our July/August!

Think about it.  FREE access to NYC art, music, theater and dance, eleven new friends from all backgrounds and boroughs, lively debate, writing, flip-flops, subway adventures, August sunshine, pizza, mini frisbees….

Need we say more??

Sign up now for one or more of 5 special two-day workshops on a first-come, first-served basis.  Anyone in high school is eligible.  Participants will attend a Thursday night performance, write a review, and meet up the following Tuesday for a writing workshop from 4:30pm – 7:30pm in the ArtsConnection/High 5 building in Manhattan (8th Ave and 36th Street).

Just as in our Fall and Spring TRaC programs, Summer TRaC workshops will include debate and discussion about the show, writing activities, an opportunity to publish your work and whatever else participants bring to it!   (If you’ve ever wondered what the 8-week TRaC programs in the fall and spring were like, this is a great way to get a snapshot of the experience.)  Each session will be taught by one of the veteran TRaC Instructors, all of whom are working artists and critics.
