City Opera House is thrilled to announce a unique summer student intensive in devised theater led by guest artists Hook & Eye Theater from Brooklyn, NY. Hook & Eye is an award-winning, innovative, ensemble-based company known for creating original performances from the ground up, using collaboration, movement, text, sound, and imagination rather than a traditional script.

Students will join professional Broadway teaching artists for a one-of-a-kind theatre experience!
