🎬 Summer on Screen Film Premiere 🎬
Saturday, August 23 at 2:00 pm
Watch the magic unfold on the big screen!
The wait is over, and our Summer on Screen students are ready for their red carpet moment! Join us Saturday, August 23, at 2:00 p.m. at Murphys Creek Theatre for the world premiere of Stage Fright, a short film created by our incredible youth participants during three weeks of hands-on filmmaking.
From writing to acting to camera work, these students brought the story to life—and now they get to see the final cut for the FIRST TIME with their families, friends, and YOU!
Admission: Pay-What-You-Can (or Pay-It-Forward to help support youth arts education at MCT)
Program Director Robbie Allen will be on hand to introduce the screening and celebrate the students’ hard work.
Come cheer them on, laugh in the right places, and witness the next generation of storytellers. Let’s pack the house and show these young filmmakers how proud their community is!

All students must submit a self-tape audition by May 4 to help faculty get to know them. Registration guarantees acceptance; the self-tape is not a barrier. Each student will take on both acting and technical roles in the final film project.
All students will be expected to participate on both sides of the camera for their final film project.
The first two weeks of classes will be held at the Black Bart Playhouse, 580 S. Algiers Street in Murphys, CA.
Filming locations will include areas around Murphys under the supervision of staff and parents.
