The Haven Project, a Portland-based program that helps disadvantaged youth write and produce original theatre, is coming to Hood River for a two-week student and mentor-training residency this fall.
The Haven Project pairs adult mentors with at-risk youth, ages 12-17. On the last night of the program, professional actors perform the students' plays to the general public.
Haven Afield will bring trained professional artists to the area to teach local actors and writers how to facilitate the program to local youth. The program will consist of a weekend mentor's training followed by a two-week residency at the Klahre House.
The residency will offer mentors hands-on experience, under the guidance of Haven staff, in facilitating the program.
The Project is currently looking for adults with interest and experience in working with youth to serve as mentors in this program.
Mentors commit to the weekend training (Nov. 2-3), followed by nine 2-hour days with students, from Nov. 4-14.
Mentors will receive small stipends, as well as honorary membership in the Gorge Arts Council. Once trained, mentors will be eligible to do Haven-style residencies throughout the Gorge.
This project is a collaboration between Haven, Columbia Gorge Arts in Education, Klahre House and the CAST Performing Arts Center.
For more information or to sign up as a mentor call Leigh Hancock, Columbia Gorge Arts in Education, (541) 387-5031.
