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.
