The Program

In these workshops, expert teaching artists inspire the voices of young actors and provide a safe place for young performers to reach for the stars. In a fun-filled environment, children build theatre skills, gain confidence and develop social skills through collaboration and performance. Age-appropriate activities are structured in acting, improvisation, musical theatre and movement.

Participants are divided into groups based on age to ensure all programming is age-appropriate.
