WHAT IS STUDENT LEADERSHIP?

Student Leaders serve as assistants to a designated member of the Trollwood artistic, technical, teaching or administrative teams for the Mainstage Musical, Totally Trollwood Musical, Trollwood Academy, Totally Trollwood Academy, Trollwood Players or ArtSpark.  They gain insight about their chosen art form through personal training and hands-on experience.  In addition they learn to apply leadership skills through supervising daily rehearsals/construction sessions and guiding student groups. Student Leaders for the Totally Trollwood Academy, Totally Trollwood Musical and ArtSpark programs also serve as mentors to the younger students.
