Kids Theatre Workshop

For the last 13 summers, Playcrafters has provided the opportunity for many young actors to develop their creative skills at our theater. It has been a wonderful experience for all involved. Many have returned each summer and strong friendships have been made. The program, which includes stage knowledge, improvisation, scene work, character study, singing and movement, has been well received and interest continues to grow.

WE BELIEVE...

THAT THE PERFORMING ARTS UNLEASH CREATIVITY WHICH ALLOWS THE MIND TO GROW, AND CONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM TO INCREASE. KIDS HAVE FUN EXPERIENCING ASPECTS OF THEATER, AS THEY DEVELOP SKILLS AND GET IN TOUCH WITH THEIR IMAGINATIONS.

OUR PURPOSE...

IS TO EMPHASIZE THE LEARNING AND PERFORMING WE DO EACH DAY, RATHER THAN PLACING THE EMPHASIS ON A FINAL PRODUCTION.
