All summer in week long options, weekdays from 9 – 12:30pm with small show at 12:30pm on each Friday of program (for friends/family only).
Come put on a play. One week long options all summer long. Each week we will put together a fun short play about a favorite fairytale story. We will develop our characters, work on physical gesture and expression and play lots of fun drama games together. No stress this summer. Just fun and laughs all summer long in week long program options.
These plays are specifically written for a younger age group and can be mastered in a one week program for an introduction to the joy of theater. Production length of each play is 20 – 30 minutes. All plays will be performed for families at 12:30pm inside the 2nd Floor Academy theater space. **Please note, fairy tale weeks fill quickly. We encourage families to register early to ensure placement. Should you discover a program is full, it is highly recommended you join the waitlist on the registration site.
