Show Description:

The ocean floor is filled with the rarest of creatures, but none are as rare as gnarbles. Their fins are small, their tails are floppy, and they have never strayed far from their homes…until now. Journey of the Noble Gnarble is a story of a little gnarble with a big dream, who tries to make it past doubting blyfish, sneaky subbalubbles, and hungry plinks on his way to the surface of the sea. Along the way he befriends the glinny glims who teach him the importance of positivity and determination!

JOURNEY OF THE NOBLE GNARBLE is presented through special arrangement with Beat by Beat Press (www.bbbpress.com)

Grades 3-5

In the spring the Arts Center produces a show for elementary school-aged actors in grades 3-5.

Cast members are introduced to theatrical terminology and drama games while creating an artistic performance. The music and choreography are simple but fun with opportunities to showcase specific talents. This is a fundamental introduction to performance in a supportive and positive environment.

Grades 6-8

The fall production is for middle school-aged actors in grades 6-8.

Actors are challenged more in this age group through character development, and levels of music and choreography varying from simple to complex. This program is an ambitious in-depth experience with a high production level.

High School Students

High school students interested in theatre can apply for volunteer crew positions with the Children’s Theatre Troupe. A limited number of positions are available for each production. These positions are voluntary but do count for community service or could be applicable for school credit depending on the school. Application forms will be linked below when available.
