Union City, Tenn.–Is your child interested in theater? Thanks to generous sponsors, the 2020 fall semester of Historical Theater Academy at Discovery Park of America in Union City is free.
Discovery Park is also partnering with the Masquerade Theatre in Union City to work with students as they create a production about how Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the 19th Amendment.
The Historical Theater Academy is a unique program designed for students in grades 6-12 that takes place at Discovery Park twice each year. Academy participants receive instruction in multiple aspects of theater and historical research and then stage a performance of the original work they create. In addition to gaining experience in numerous disciplines including acting, set design, costuming, writing and historical research, students learn collaboration skills.
This year, the play will be performed on stage at the historic Capitol Theatre in downtown Union City.
Classes begin on Tues., Aug. 18, 2020 and are held on Tuesday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. at Discovery Park of America, and they will be taught by instructors from Discovery Park and the Masquerade Theatre.
The performance will take place on Fri., Dec. 4 and Sat., Dec. 5, 2020 at the Capitol Theatre.
