Pre-Professional Ensemble
The Voices of Now Pre-Professional Ensemble is made up of emerging artists and young professionals from local universities and the D.C. Metro area. The Pre-Professional Ensemble explores issues and questions relevant to their respective communities. In addition to creating a Voices of Now play or film, artists set the foundation for their careers as theater professionals by connecting with other theater artists and developing a relationship with a major regional theater.
VON Pre-Professional Ensemble meets every Wednesday evening from 6:30pm-8:30pm at Arena Stage.
Pre-Professional Ensemble artists will:
- Jump start their career as a theater artist.
- Build a relationship with a two-time TONY award winning regional theater.
- Devise an autobiographical, ensemble-based, physical play to be performed at the annual Voices of Now Festival at Arena Stage.
- Make their own work!
Participation is the Pre-Professional Ensemble is completely tuition-free.
