New Workshop Series for Ages 8-12
This multi-week Youth Theatre Workshop series offers students an engaging experience in theatre production in a supportive, educational environment. Participants will build confidence and community as they explore both the creative and performance sides of production—learning about scenic, costume, and prop design while also developing foundational acting skills and character work. Students will even have the opportunity to create original design elements that may be incorporated into the final performance. The workshop culminates in a rehearsal process and presentation of The Emerald Heist, a 15-minute play that showcases their growth, creativity, and collaboration. Designed to provide a meaningful artistic outlet for youth in our community, this program invites young artists of all experience levels to imagine boldly, learn new skills, and shine. Class will take place at Calliope Stage at 513 Mill St in Sylva!
