The ACADEMY educates early career artists ages 13 – 18 through the exploration and presentation of live Theatre. Our program is an immersive and unique arts experience with our focus primarily in non-musical theatre “Straight Theatre”, which offering our early career artists exposure to classic, contemporary, abstract and avant-garde as well as original pieces of theatre, in turn, allowing for a more well-rounded arts education. On average our early career artists will spend over 100 hours on a given production. Through the Academy, participants learn and fine-tune a variety of skills in auditioning, character development, set and costume design, dramaturgy, script analysis, stage voice development, soundscape design and more.
AMP believe that Broadway is NOT the only way. We recognize the tremendous creative energy and opportunities available in high quality regional, community and professional theatre here in NH and beyond. We strongly encourage our artists to broaden their own horizons by exploring theatre with other theatre companies and programs.
As an active member of the NH Theatre Awards adjudication program, we allow our student to take creative risks and reap the rewards. Over the past three years, the Academy has been nominated for 7 NH Theatre Awards and won two!
2022 Season – Fill out Audition Form to reserve your spot!
Most auditions will include a short interview, 1 min monologue from a show from the time period or author and cold reads. If there are any additional requirements, they will be communicated.
Those auditioning will need to stay for the entire audition. Those looking to work crew can send an email to amplifiedartsnh@gmail.com to see what might be available. Students who take part backstage often use it for community service hours.
Please be aware there is a $50 production fee due at the first read-through. If the fee is a hardship, please let Amplified Arts staff know. The fee should never stop someone from taking part. But it does help cover the costs for scripts and production needs.
