Life at TLHD
Perform.
Students will have substantial performance opportunities at Theatre L'Homme Dieu in 2007. Both You Can't Take It With You and Little Shop of Horrors each provide opportunities for students to play 5-6 significant roles. In Theatre L'Homme Dieu's final production of the 2007 season, Biloxi Blues, all but one role will be cast from the student company. Students will also make up the entire cast of our touring children's theatre production, which is performed throughout the summer at local festivals. Finally, back by popular demand, our regular cabaret evenings at the Interlachen Inn, will give students the chance to try out their musical and comedic cabaret skills.
Learn.
Students at Theatre L'Homme Dieu gain broad experience in all aspects of theatre, and can specialize in those they like the best. You'll work onstage with the best professional actors and directors from the remarkable Minneapolis-St.Paul theatre community; learn stage carpentry, scene painting, lighting, sound and costume construction from our professional design staff; and assist in such areas as stage, house and box office management.
Students at Theatre L'Homme Dieu receive a stipend of $1,500 ($150 weekly) for the ten-week season, plus room and board. You'll live in two-person rooms in two large student cabins; meals, prepared by our resident chef, are served in the main Lodge.
Bond and Play.
As a member of L'Homme Dieu's student company, you'll work hard, but you'll find friendships and fun are an equally important part of your summer. The theatre is located on beautiful Lake LeHomme Dieu, and our beach and swimming dock are always available on your off hours. During the evenings, the campfires outside the student cabins burn into the night and the Lodge is headquarters for card games and midnight snacks.
