Depot Theatre Academy’s INTO THE WOODS, JR.

UPDATE: As the CDC has now placed Essex County in a “High Transmission” zone – the audience will be limited to vaccinated members of the immediate household of participants. Masks will still be required for both the audience and cast/crew.

Performances will be recorded – and a link will be provided so that everyone can enjoy the wonderful work these artists have done!

The 2021 Depot Theatre Academy production of INTO THE WOODS, JR will be hosted at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall. All are invited to attend the performances, on August 20 at 7pm, August 21 at 7pm, and August 22 at 2pm.

Performing an outdoor production requires a lot of challenges, and of course, the weather is unpredictable. This weekend it looks like it is going to rain, with a probable thunder/lightning storm Thursday night. Considering this, the Depot Theatre has made the decision to move our performances of INTO THE WOODS, JR. indoors at the Whallonsburg Grange.

Seating will be limited, and after reserved seating for parents, is available on a first come basis on site at each performance. Per CDC recommendations and Grange Hall protocol, ALL AUDIENCE MEMBERS ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR FACE COVERINGS INSIDE THE WHALLONSBURG GRANGE.

The Depot Theatre Academy is an education and outreach program for artists ages 8 and older, led by theatre professionals from the only professional Equity theatre in the Adirondack Park.

The Depot Theatre Academy summer 2021 program features both junior and senior participants, and included workshops led by Actors’ Equity Association professionals in acting, voice, and dance, culminating this year’s production.

The senior participants ages 13 and older, will also be performing alongside Depot Theatre professionals in a special Academy Cabaret on Friday, August 27 at 8pm inside the Whallonsburg Grange.

Donations are welcomed for tickets for both programs, which will be available on site only for each performance.

The Depot Theatre Academy summer youth program is generously sponsored by the Rogers-Carroll Family Foundation. The Depot Theatre Academy is underwritten by The Brooks and Joan Fortune Family Foundation.
