Scene One is a program for high school age and early college age young adults (approximately ages 14 - 21) with an interest in the theatre.  Established in Fall 2002, the program offers opportunities throughout the fall, winter, and spring months to get together with like-minded people and enjoy theatre-related activities, including going to see productions, visiting locales of theatrical interest (such as the Renaissance Festival), and participating in creative workshops on theatre-related topics.  During the summer, the group then stages an original production using the theatre space at Appleseed Productions in Syracuse, New York.

How do I get involved?

There are no special "membership" requirements to get involved... you can come to just one event when we do something that interests you, or you can come to them all!  There are no membership fees, although some events (particularly when there are higher costs to us like ticket prices and such) do have a cost associated.  To "join" us, all you have to do is come along for one of our events!  Check out the calendar page and plan a future event to join in on, or you can reach Scene One for more information by leaving a message at 437-5141, or by emailing hipius@twcny.rr.com.

How does Scene One support itself?

Scene One is the result of cooperative efforts from a number of sources.  A very generous grant helps us fund our programming, providing for the resources we use and allowing us to offer affordable participation costs to even the events for which we do have to charge; it also gives us the budget enough to run our entire summer program 100% COST FREE for participants (a real oddity in our area!), combining grant funding with income from ticket and merchandise sales to keep the program running.

We're also fortunate to have the support of the Atonement Lutheran Church in providing us with locations and resources for many of our events, as well as administrative and programming assistance from Appleseed Productions, a local theatre company.
