Performance Lab

​Performance Lab is the Warner Theatre Education’s premiere program for High School students ages 14-18. Treated like an AP level course, students are expected to dedicate themselves to this rigorous program designed to help them develop core theatrical skills including acting, singing, dance, and theater tech. Shows are chosen to challenge and excite students, and give them the opportunity to rise to meet or exceed all that is put before them. Fully supported by our devoted staff, students work to improve self-reliance and group dynamics in the process of creating a professional level stage performance.

PERFORMANCE LAB AUDITION NOTICE

​It's 1985, and rock star wannabe, Robbie Hart, is New Jersey's favorite wedding singer. He's the life of the party until his own fiancée leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own. Enter Julia, a winsome waitress who wins his affection. As luck would have it, Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and, unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever.
