We believe that theatre has the potential to inspire and educate while being an effective vehicle for personal growth. We offer a wide range of after-school and weekend classes for elementary, school-age children through school districts across the Twin Cities metro area. These introductory classes are designed to stimulate student creativity and imagination as well as foster an appreciation of theatre.
