School Year Youth Programs
Our classes for young people ages 5-12 are designed to introduce them to the world of theatre. With a combination of storytelling, creative movement, improvisation, and scripted theatre, our students learn to work as a team and create something all their own of which they can be proud. In addition, they gain valuable life skills such as cooperation, hard work and develop a healthy self-esteem.Youth Curriculum
