ArtSMART engages HWDSB students in the production of a full-scale musical. Young actors in the program will be able to sing, dance, create, and act while earning four credits towards their diploma, including two co-op credits.
The program is located at Sir Allan MacNab Secondary School. Students from other HWDSB schools will attend Sir Allan MacNab for their second semester.
Students will be enrolled in specialized courses in theatrical production and musical theatre. Classes are enriched by partnerships and workshops by local artists. Opportunities are also available for students interested in set, prop, and costume design, lighting and technical support, as well as backstage roles. To be eligible, applicants will be:
- 15 years of age or older;
- will have successfully completed at least eight credits;
- will submit all required application information by the due date; and
- will attend an online audition.
