Stages Theatre Company's
Troop Theatre
for Brownie, Junior,
Cadette and Senior Girl Scouts
and Boy Scouts
About the Program:
Your troop can attend 2 one-hour workshops and have the opportunity to attend a Stages Theatre Company performance! Each workshop is designed for scouts to get involved, and learn about the world of theatre through exciting games and activities.
Actors at Play
Did you know that actors have 3 primary tools that they use on stage? In this hour long workshop, students will discover what these tools are and how they too can use them! Scouts will also learn acting techniques, warm ups, and exercises from a Stages’ Teaching Artist.
Make-Up Makeover
How do they do that? In this workshop, students will learn how actors transform themselves into a variety of characters using make-up. Scouts will learn beginning techniques, design a character face, and have the opportunity to become that character. Leaders will be amazed as their scouts transform their imagined designs into live characters!

The House at Pooh Corner
The House at Pooh Corner is the second volume of stories about Winnie the Pooh written by A. A. Milne. In this adaptation by Bettye Knapp, Pooh and all his friends in the Hundred Acre Woods are concerned about the impending departure of Christopher Robin – he is going to a strange place called Education. Pooh, Piglet, Kanga and the whole gang return as we learn of Pooh’s first meeting with Tigger, that bounding, bouncing, bundle of energy, and watch as Eeyore gets his own house at last

The Reluctant Dragon
Kenneth Grahame’s classic story of the last of the dragons, a friendly, vegetable-eating poetry lover, the young shepherd boy who becomes his staunch defender, and the famous dragon-slaying knight who comes to make battle with the ferocious beast, uses humor and hilarity to pass along its message of tolerance. Filled with a large helping of unique and outrageous characters, The Reluctant Dragon is a musical delight.
