Our youth theatre education programs are designed to help each young artist reach his/her/their creative and personal potential. We limit our registrations for each session as the focus is not just on the final product, but the experience and growth along the way. Over the course of a session or workshop, our young actors develop self-confidence, artistic ability, and much more. The goal of our youth theatre program is for young performers to create lasting memories while developing skills that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives.

Elephant & Piggie’s “We Are in a Play!” JR
January 9 – March 6, 2025
About the Show: Ripped from the pages of Mo Willems’ best-selling children’s books, Gerald and Piggie take to the stage in a rollicking adventure. An elephant named Gerald and a pig named Piggie are “bestus” friends, but Gerald worries that something could go wrong that would end their friendship. Piggie is not worried at all. She’s even happier and more excited than usual because they have been invited to a party hosted by the Squirrelles, three singing squirrels who love to have a good time. And so begins a day when anything is possible.
