The Critical View student reviewer program gives high school students the opportunity to attend and review touring Broadway productions and SpotLight productions. Critical View is part of a larger curriculum that teaches communication skills and enhances critical thinking and creative response. As part of this program, students receive study guides and press kits before the show, learn from experts including local theatre critics, playwrights and actors who discuss topics from lighting design to choreography, and in some cases, have expanded access to the Broadway touring cast and crew.  Students post their reviews and interact online through our Critical View Clubhouse (coming soon!). 

Students wishing to participate can apply online beginning in August 2010. Only 30 Minneapolis area students will be accepted for the 2010-2011 school year. Check back for more information!
