SCHOOL YEAR PRODUCTIONS
We are pleased to announce NLBP Education’s
School Year Productions
PERFORMERS AND TECH/DESIGN STUDENTS WANTED
For every school year production, students are welcome to register as performers, tech/design students, or both. Some of the productions will have full designs, while others will be more simple. Tech/design students may share their area of interest, but they will be asked to work on multiple aspects of the show.
TUITION ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE!
Tuition assistance is available thanks to a generous donation from Bar Harbor Bank and Trust with a shared commitment to make theater education accessible to all. Please email a completed Tuition Assistance Form to the Education Director at sage@nlbarn.org before registering to apply for full or partial tuition assistance options.

PUPPET WORKSHOP

Learn from some talented local puppeteers and try out some new puppetry techniques!

This workshop will primarily focus on TIAMAT, the 5-headed dragon.

TUITION ASSISTANCE
We at the Barn believe an education in the performing arts should be available and accessible to everyone. We know many people are currently dealing with loss of income and financial instability in light of COVID-19 and the subsequent economic disruptions. So it is with great pride that we offer Tuition Assistance at any level needed.
We know how meaningful theater can be, and we understand the impact of that shared experience. Especially in these difficult times, coming together to sing, act, design, and laugh can be transformative.
Tuition assistance is available thanks to a generous donation from Bar Harbor Bank and Trust with a shared commitment to make theater education accessible to all.
