Studio Theatre Youth Entertainment Workshop Productions are intensive, all-inclusive theatrical training experiences designed for experienced musical theatre performers ages 12–18 who are ready for their next challenge! In this advanced workshop, students will collaborate to rehearse and present a full production of BAND GEEKS, building their skills in acting, singing, and dancing while working as a true ensemble.

BAND GEEKS is a high-energy musical comedy about a group of passionate (and slightly chaotic) musicians who refuse to give up on their dreams of performing. When an underdog band is given the chance to prove themselves, they must learn to work together, overcome rivalries, and find their true sound. Filled with big personalities, hilarious moments, and plenty of music, this show celebrates teamwork, determination, and the joy of performing
