Youth Company
Acting Out is an educational opportunity for local children from ages eight to fourteen to experience and learn the theatrical arts in a safe environment. We offer a Summer program and a after school program.
With a curriculum and "Graduation Track" developed by Youth Director Mel Syverson, Acting Out teaches respect, team work, and self expression through theatre games and production rehearsal. Together the students must complete specific curriculum items and work toward producing a performance at the conclusion of each Quarter. We offer four six week Quarters throughout the school year beginning in the Fall. Please call or e-mail the Box Office to find out how you can get your kids involved in this exciting educational program!
