Announcing Our Fall Play
Slay by Rachel Bland
In a world full of epic adventures, thrilling battles, and dangers at every turn, there lives a princess unlike any other: Jane. And Jane is well… plain. She doesn’t wear gowns with grace, she isn’t brave enough to slay dragons, and she can barely pass her math test! But when a terrifying beast threatens to destroy everything she loves, Jane refuses to sit back and wait for rescue.
Jane sets out on a quest to find the “hero of worth” to save her kingdom. Will Jane and her friends find the hero in time? Will they end up as a cautionary tale? Or will Jane learn that there is something special in being yourself?
Slay is a hilarious, heartwarming adventure that is easy to stage with vivid characters and roles for all levels.
Additional Production and Class Announcements Forthcoming
About
Ensemble Children's Theatre offers unique theatrical opportunities for Central Indiana Youth.
Now in our third season, we currently offer
classes, workshops, and summer camps for students ages 3-14
as well as production opportunities for actors ages 8-14.
Our classes are held conveniently at First Baptist Church in Indianapolis (86th St. and College Ave.)
Our summer camps are offered at various locations
throughout Central Indiana.
Early drama education helps students learn to identify and regulate their emotions, use their bodies and voices to express themselves, explore their creative impulses, and grow into empathetic individuals.
“We can’t say enough about how much we’ve appreciated [Ensemble]. Elisabeth has created a truly inclusive space for learning all things theater. She is meeting children where they are at, and helping them grow their skills and confidence as actors in a fun and supportive environment. The time commitment is reasonable, and the value is outstanding.
I recommend Ensemble for any child who wants to be on stage for the first time and understand the ropes of production. Seasoned performers can also learn from Ensemble teaching artists and guests, a list that includes professional actors, directors, playwrights, technicians, and even stage combat instructors!”
-Beth Y., Ensemble Parent
Students who engage in theatre have been shown to perform better on standardized tests than their peers, have better reading comprehension, and a better attitude towards reading, according to the American Alliance of Theatre & Education.
