As a parent, it has been such a thrill over the years to see all of these positive developments in my daughter and to have found such a unique and innovative program where she has received intensive and constructive theater training in an environment that takes the participants seriously, wants them to improve and strengthen their skills, but also wants them to have fun!

AUDITIONAudition for a daring adventure - Treasure Island! This stage adaptation of the classic novel brings to life dreamers, scoundrels, and thieves. Jim Hawkins sails for treasure with nothing more than an old map from Billie Bones, and the dying sailor's ominous warning: "You be keepin' this safe, lad. They be wantin' what belonged to Old Flint..." He enlists the help of Dr. Livesey and his foolish squire to secure a crew. Once aboard he begins to form a friendship with Long John Silver, the cook. Then, one fateful night, Jim discovers the awful truth - the whole crew, including Silver, are pirates who once sailed under Captain Flint! They plan to mutiny and take the treasure for themselves, killing every non-pirate aboard. This adaptation is brimming with sword fights, no-good pirates, hidden identities, and more than a little swashbuckling.

AUDITIONAudition for a lyrical adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s fantastical masterpiece, Orlando! A three-hundred-year epic in which a young nobleman in Queen Elizabeth’s court journeys through time and becomes a woman in the bustling atmosphere of 20th-century London. Falling in and out of love on his/her adventures and struggling to write a poem about an oak tree, this adaptation is sustained by a chorus of actors who must inhabit different characters throughout the centuries. Sarah Ruhl (by way of Woolf) creates a mesmerizing theatrical experience that tackles the ways in which gender has conformed us, and the ways in which art will set us free.

I just wanted to thank you and Traveling Players for all the training you guys have given me in the last three years. I got third place in my school’s Shakespeare monologue competition [as a freshman], and I give the credit ENTIRELY to the very worthy Traveling Players Ensemble. I love Traveling Players so much and I am glad to have met each and every person I’ve met there!
