Virtual Youth Musical Theater Programs Now Enrolling

(classes start week of Sep 14, 2020)

The Freelance Players is excited and proud to announce the launch of its Fall 2020 season. Following the success of six “COVID-19 spring” musical theater productions, programs for students ages 8 to 16 will be offered on each day of the week this fall.

Enrollment is NOW open! For details and to enroll, visit https://rehearsalforlife.org/freelance-players/

The fall session will run for 10 weeks, starting the week of September 14, 2020. Rehearsals will be virtual, with hopes for some small, in-person meetings, as state and local safety precautions allow. Each Troupe’s musical will be adapted or written specifically for this virtual session and will culminate in a live-streamed final performance on Zoom and/or YouTube.

The Freelance Players Troupes are staffed by theater professionals and provide training in acting, singing, and dancing. Our ensemble approach nurtures risk-taking, self-esteem, mutual respect and cooperation among students. Since its founding in 1974, Freelance Players has produced more than 300 original musicals, performed by young people for audiences of all ages. The high-quality family-friendly productions are lively, energetic, and joyful. The Freelance Players is a program of Rehearsal for Life, Inc.

For questions or to set up a first-time meeting call Artistic Director Kippy Dewey at 617-512-1947
