Student Advisory
The Student Advisory and pre-professional arts Cohort is a youth group of teens ages 14-18 who advise the Seattle Public Theater Education Department on programming while also receiving pre-professional training in theater arts administration and production. Season planning, casting and marketing are a few key areas for learning opportunities.
The cohort runs throughout the school year; next Student Advisory Cohort Applications open June 2027.

Youth Summer Production
Actors will work with a professional director, and technicians will shadow professional designers, to produce a full-length play performed in the historic Bathhouse Theater on Greenlake. Spend your summer following your passion, exploring your creativity, expanding your resume, and making new friends and connections in the theatre industry. All students are paid a stipend for their participation in this project.
The play will be announced with our season announcement in April, and auditions and tech applications will go live in May.
