By invite only, but find out how you can be involved
#HUSHpodcast is a part of an original sci-fi podcast series written, composed and performed by secondary students. Students in grades eight through twelve write the scripts, compose and play the music, create the sound effects and perform the roles. HUSH episodes are then uploaded onto iTunes, Google Play Music and Stitcher. (Podcast episodes have been downloaded over 21,000 times!) A live recording of a mini-episode or premier of the season will take place at the StoryArk Festival on the stage of the Phipps Center for the Arts in Hudson, WI on the evening of July 24th.

Our goal with HUSH is to provide as professional an experience as possible to students. Students work with industry writers, actors and directors who help them skill build. In addition to developing writing skills, students gain knowledge about industry standards, develop acting skills and learn how to work on a creative team. Join us as we begin to develop Season 4 and return to the Geyaabi tribe as they struggle to create a home in a new world. Tuition: $275 first time member, $175 returning ~ scholarships are available, and no one is turned away for financial reasons.
