Hyde Park-Oakridge area students and The Grand Theatre’s High School Project! For more than 25 years, the Grand Theatre High School Project has offered an exceptional opportunity for students to receive education and training in the working environment of a professional theatre, at no cost to the participants. High school students from the London area are mentored by professional artists and coaches in all departments (performance, stage management, props, wardrobe, scenic art, orchestra, sound, lighting, marketing, and more), culminating in a production staged on the Grand’s 839- seat theatre: the Spriet Stage. This year, the project presents the Tony and Olivier award-winning Matilda The Musical . Let’s meet some of the Hyde Park-Oakridge area participating students: Learn more at grandtheatre.com/event/matilda. Get your tickets at grandtheatre.com
