Acting Out! Youth Company
Acting Out is an educational opportunity for local children from ages eight to seventeen to experience and learn the theatrical arts in a safe environment. We offer a summer program and an after-school program.
Acting Out teaches respect, teamwork, 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!
