A beacon for social emotional learning and development, Theatre workshops provide the opportunity for children
to learn how to work as a team (ensemble building), how to express feelings, calm anxiety, and focus on the task at
hand, and how to problem-solve within structure and use ones voice and body to fully be present in today’s world.
Theatre workshops are also extremely silly, fun, and a terrific way to get up on your feet and engage with the world
around you. We have combined Acting, Musical Theatre, Voice, and Movement techniques and activities from sum-
mer Zoom classes and Fall hybrid classes to provide a high-quality fulfilling experience for your child. Students who
prefer working backstage rather than onstage will enjoy Techies Workshop learning from a professional Theatre tech-
nician. Students in Stage Make-up Workshop learn specialty make-up techniques from a professional actor and are
given a professional make-up kit, the price of which is included in the tuition.
