SCORE! 2025 Summer Theater Intensive Open for Enrollment
Fort Wayne, Ind. (March 10, 2025) – The Embassy Theatre is pleased to announce enrollment is open for its summer SCORE! 2025 program. Students who are entering grades 7, 8 or 9 in fall 2025 are eligible to apply. The workshop will take place July 7-19 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
In its thirteenth year, this two-week, mentor-led devised theater intensive immerses students in all elements of theater, culminating in a public performance on the legendary Embassy stage on Saturday, July 19. What do enrollees experience in SCORE!?
• Devise, create and produce an original presentation on the stage of the historic Embassy Theatre through a unique peer-driven collaborative approach.
• Generate and harness the energy and discipline needed to create original pieces.
• Give life and voice to a story that has meaning in their own lives – devising is creating on your feet.
• Learn the multidisciplinary elements of the art form including playwriting, composition, movement, drama, music, visual arts and technical arts with the facilitation of industry professionals.
• Meet and collaborate with peers who have common interests.
The Embassy is proud to have a summer program that offers such a rich and life-changing experience for young performers and artists. Katie Lauck speaks to the impact: “SCORE! started changing my life when I signed up for camp as a middle schooler and had my first encounter with devised theater, which I eventually went on to get a degree in. During that degree program, it changed my life again when it gave me my first experience as an arts educator by taking me on as an intern and eventually a full-blown mentor.”
This experience pointed her in a career direction as well. “I now teach middle schoolers year-round both as a part of SCORE! and with a non-profit called ArtistYear that boosts arts education in Title I schools, and I know none of this would have happened had I not signed up as a student all those years ago. I have come back to SCORE! and the Embassy again and again throughout my life because it’s been a place of incomparable community and artistic experience, and I will be forever grateful for the life SCORE! has given me,” Lauck said.
The registration fee is $350, and the deadline is June 13, 2025. Scholarships are available on our website. Enrollment is limited to only 22 students; spots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
