The show finally gets to go on! When life hit the pause button last March, one of the many things put on hold was theatre education. Youtheatre worked hard to offer alternatives for our cabin-fevered theatre kids this summer, but online theatre offers a whole new set of struggles. So, after nearly six months, we are thrilled to finally be able to welcome our young actors back into the building with a variety of workshops and master classes for all ages!
Welcome back Youtheatre family!
In October alone, we have a ballet/tap class for students in grades 1-5, a readers’ theatre opportunity for students in grades 6-8 and 9-12. Of course, things will look a little different with smaller class sizes, contactless drop-off and pickup, 6 foot spacing between actors, and masks for all, but we couldn’t be more excited to have our theatre kids back.
There are workshops available for students ranging from first graders to seniors!
So, if you have spent your quarantine listening to endless renditions of Annie or Hamilton songs, considering signing your young actor up for one of our workshops or master classes! And be sure to keep checking our website, as more opportunities are released all the time!
Did your kids put on a show during quarantine like Lindsay’s kids? Then sign them up for MCPA camp!
