I have a lot of school work and a tight schedule. Do I have time for TRaC?
TRaC is definitely a time commitment and you need to figure out if you can make it work for you. Here’s what you can expect: Weekly workshop meetings last two hours. The five art outings are approximately two hour commitments, depending on the show or trip. We typically schedule the outings to fall on the same day as class or on a weekend so they don’t conflict with other things in your weekly schedule. You will be asked to write approximately 300 – 500 words for at least four of the performances. Other weeks you may be revising your work, or helping out someone else with theirs. There isn’t writing due every week, and truth be told, we’ve never had anyone tell us that there was more writing than they could keep up with. We’ve had students juggling senior applications, SAT prep, varsity sports, newspaper, music lessons and multiple after-school programs work TRaC in just fine.

We typically schedule the outings to fall on the same day as class or on a weekend so they don’t conflict with other things in your weekly schedule. You will be asked to write approximately 350 – 500 words about each of the performances. (To give you an idea, this paragraph is just about 200 words, so it’s really not that much!)
