At illuminate, we are focused on teamwork. We believe that every cast and crew member has a vital role in our productions. Involvement in shows, from cast to crew to interns and volunteers focuses on team building, skills development, and letting each person shine together so that our family friendly shows amaze the audience.
Types of Productions
High School Mainstage
High schoolers who enroll in the mainstage production will participate in weekly rehearsals over 12 weeks to prepare for 3 show-stopping performances. All who enroll in mainstage productions will be cast, and our unique 4-day audition week helps the cast to bond and the directors to determine where each person will shine the brightest. Rehearsals are typically 4 hours in duration and include games, singing, choreography, and acting in both large and small groups. Cast members develop friendships that last long past production week!
As illuminate is committed to family-friendly experiences, modifications may be made to ensure the cast and audience are comfortable with the production.
