2023-2024 Program: Space Pirates!
Pirates! Aliens! Space Travel! Space Pirates tells the story of Gabby, a kid who gets picked on during a school trip to the museum. Everything quickly changes when an alien space ship accidentally beams Gabby and her classmates up to outer space. Things go from bad to worse when the alien space ship is suddenly attacked by SPACE PIRATES! It’s only after this whirlwind space adventure that Gabby becomes comfortable in her own skin, and her classmates appreciate her for who she is.
Everyone gets a role. Everyone gets a line. Everybody is onstage all the time.

Sing and dance to more than a dozen songs from this up-beat and heartfelt show, and even get a chance to perform them in front of an audience on a real theater stage! Come rehearse with fabulous directors 2 days a week at your school and have fun becoming a character! At Ashland, we value the experience of rehearsal, and how much fun can be had in just making the show itself.

What is ACT?
Ashland Collaborative Theatre (ACT!) is an exciting artist-in-residence program for schools of all sizes. This innovative program allows schools to offer their students a one of a kind theatre arts program for low or no cost to the school. Ashland artistic staff work with students each week at the school learning the songs, dances and lines for a full youth production. Learning the show is only part of the fun. Students will also learn performance fundamentals and team work with interactive theatre improvisational games.
During the last week of the program, the students’ worlds open up as they take the rehearsal process to the Ashland Productions stage. Students top off the experience by showcasing their hard work with several performances for their school, family, friends and community with professional sets, costumes, lights and sound! Your students will come away with improved poise, self-discipline and self-esteem - skills that will help them at school and last for a lifetime!
If your school is interested in being a part of ACT! or you have any questions, please contact our Youth Programming Director, Jack Lambert, by email at jack@ashlandproductions.org.
