Aloha Teen Theatre (ATT) is a FREE program for youth 13-18 residing in West Hawaii.
ATT is one of the Aloha Theatre's oldest programs, originally formed at the behest of teens who wished to develop a unique space for exploring theatre on their own terms.
ATT productions have been conducted annually since 1996.
In those 28 years, Aloha Theatre has created a framework that is teen-focused and participant-led. Teens determine what activities they wish to pursue and the works that will be presented each term. An Adult Advisor works with staff, guest directors, volunteer mentors and teaching assistants to design curriculum that maximizes teen input and leadership, providing instruction and guidance as needed.
2024 Teen Advisor: Amelia Thorne is head of the history department at Konawaena High School, and in her third year as ATT Advisor. She is committed to implementing program objectives based on National Core Arts Standards and Nā Hopena Aʻo outcomes, while ensuring autonomy to teen participants. Amelia holds an M.A. in Education from the University of California, Santa Cruz.
In this program students learn about all aspects of theatre production and are given the opportunity to dive deeper into their specific areas of interest.
- ATT is teen-led, so goals and objectives for the semester are decided on by participating students.
- ATT meetings will happen every Friday between 3:30 and 5:30.
- Registration is done on quarterly basis.
- School holidays are observed with no meetings over Fall, Winter, and Spring Breaks.
