Established in February of 2011, the Theatre Institute at Sage is dedicated to providing quality live theatre and arts-in-education programming to Capital Region youth, educators and residents. The Institute also provides opportunities for Russell Sage students as performers, technicians and teachers. Programs include educational support services for Sage productions (such as in-class preparations, teacher in-services and study guides), a Saturday theatre arts school, camps during school breaks, and several theatre camps during the summer for children ages 5-18. Programs take place on the Russell Sage College campus in Troy, which is home to three performance spaces as well as numerous studios and classrooms.
James and the Giant Peach
Wizzpopping wonder and fruit filled fun abound in this stage adaption of Roald Dahl's greatest adventure story. James is a lonely young boy, who is forced to work like a slave for the most revolting aunts in England. One day a mystical old man gives him a bag of magic. When he accidentally spills it near the old peach tree, the most incredible things happen!
