Teen Advisory Board

Marin Theatre Company’s Teen Advisory Board is a group of passionate and dedicated middle and high school students who serve as ambassadors between MTC and the teen community in Marin County.  Teen Board members produce The Marin Young Playwrights Festival, help plan MTC’s summer camps, observe rehearsals for MTC productions, participate in advanced acting lessons, attend monthly meetings, and receive free tickets to MTC productions.

  • Membership Requirements

    Attend all meetings. Teen Board Members must attend all meetings (dates listed below). Members who miss more than two meetings will lose their spot on the Board.

    • Read & evaluate scripts for the Marin Young Playwrights Festival. Choose the finalists. Possibly perform in one or more finalist plays at the Festival on Feb. 13, 2012. Possibly serve as liaison/producer for one of the finalist plays.

    • Serve as liaison between MTC and your school, including:
    – Distribute information about MTC school programs, such as the Student Matinee series and the Marin Young Playwrights Festival, to appropriate faculty or administration members.  Encourage your school to participate in these programs.
    – Recruit students from your school to participate in MTC programs, such as the Marin Young Playwrights Festival. Distribute information about these programs to students at your school.
    – Find out from your school if there are any unmet needs for theatre and arts programming, and communicate those needs to MTC. Encourage MTC to develop programming that would best serve your school’s needs.

    • Read scripts for Summer Camp and School Tour productions, and articulate your thoughts about these scripts to MTC and other Teen Board Members.
