ABOUT THE PROJECT
Put 10 promising young artists in a workshop environment
with no creative limits, stir with the guidance of a veteran
director and cook under the pressure of a public
performance within weeks and what do you get?

A theatrical event that blends drama, hip-hop, poetry,
comedy, film, dance and storytelling.

Phantom Projects Educational Theatre Group’s Second
Young Artists Project is currently providing such the
crucible for a talented troupe of strangers who have come
together quickly to learn, create and experience the joys
and pressures of creating professional theatre. Everything
is original and created by the young participants.

The event brings together aspiring artists between the
ages of 16 and 21 to merge their unique talents – whether
writing, directing, acting, singing, dancing, etc. – in a
collaborative effort to develop  performance pieces by
members of the group.  All are asked to contribute in more
than one area over a two-week rehearsal process leading
up to the public performance at the La Mirada Theatre for
the performing Arts on August 2.

“The Young Artists Workshop will make it possible for
young people to have their visions come to life in a major
Southland venue,” said Cisneros.  “They will contribute to a
performance that is completely written, created and
performed by some of Southern California’s brightest
young artists.  It should be as exciting for the audience at
the La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts as it will be
for these future stars to test their talents.”

“Because it is a fluid rehearsal project, as much for
development and encouragement of the talent as to
prepare for a specific performance, the great benefit for
the participants will be the immersion into a ‘real working
environment’ like they will eventually experience at a
professional theatre,” he said.

Seeking—Playwrights, Actors, Dancers, Choreographers,
Musicians, Film makers, singers,: males and females, 16-
21, any ethnicity, will have access to a 5,000 square ft
rehearsal space, lighting, sound, and scenery.
