Kids Take the Stage
Several times each year we offer theater classes for kids. These classes teach theater skills such as acting, singing, pantomime and improvisation, but equally as important, they help kids develop real life skills like confidence, reading, team work, self-esteem and communication.
We offer a six-week winter session starting in January/February, a six-week spring session starting in March/April and a six-week fall session beginning in October. We do not offer classes in June and July so we and the kids can concentrate on the Free Summer Musical Program.
Registration is Open for Fall 2023 Classes
Fall classes begin the week of October 9.
