Advanced Development
Youth successfully completing the first summer intensive institute, are invited to become part of a professional touring ensemble to provide stage and film forum presentations for civic, social, judicial and artistic organizations. All youth completing the summer institute are encouraged to participate in the fall and winter Saturday Writing Academy and afterschool reading/writing tutoring sessions. In successive years, they are invited to advanced development summer collaborations and partnerships.
