Over four weeks, participants will explore acting, singing, and movement while preparing for a full-scale production complete with costumes, lights, and music. Whether your child is new to theatre or a seasoned performer, this program provides a fun and supportive environment to build confidence, make friends, and bring a fantastic story to life on stage.

Join us as we embark on an adventure full of imagination, creativity, and laughter. Over the course of two weeks, children ages 5-7 will have the opportunity to develop and perform their own original play based on a variety of books they will read during the program, bringing their unique and original ideas to life onstage. Through theater games, arts and crafts, and other hands-on activities, the students will work together to hone their artistic abilities, culminating in a fun performance for family and friends.
