Trollwood Players is a non-musical, summer theater opportunity for students. Each summer the Trollwood Players perform a collection of short plays or a one act that give each student in the program the opportunity to perform in a variety of roles. This year’s show will be written and directed by Scott McClure. The goal of the Trollwood Players is to get to work with new people, to hone your acting and performance skills, and to have fun!

One of the most powerful ways to heighten learning in the arts is to be mentored by a professional artist, technician, teacher or administrator who is willing to share their expertise and experience. An advanced student can, in turn, lead their peers and share their experience by becoming the mentor to a beginning or younger student. Click here for more information.

In addition to our summer offerings, we also offer the school year program, the Trollwood Mentorship Program, a collaborative effort between Trollwood Performing Arts School and Fargo Public Schools Virtual Academy for students in Grades 9-12. After identifying specific areas of focus, each student connects and collaborates with one or more expert coaches to help them refine their craft and explore new artistic avenues. Students benefit from individualized one-to-one and small group coaching, a wide range of workshops, masterclasses, performance opportunities and projects designed to hone their individual skills in various aspects of the performing arts.

The Mentorship Program hinges on the enrollment of the participating student in the Virtual Academy. The VA model is based on self-pacing, providing for flexibility in student schedules and course progress. Students are also able to participate in a hybrid schedule, taking courses in-person at their home school. Click here for more information.
