Beginning July 1st, registration will open for a new Youth Theatre Workshop Program for students in the Mid-Ohio Valley in 4th through 9th grades. This program will last for 10 weeks and will culminate in a 3-show production October 18th and 19th. The Workshop will begin on Saturday, August 10th and will be held every Saturday morning from 9am to 12pm and will focus on music, dance, and acting. However, the material will be all original and will allow the kids that are participating to have equally sized roles in the production.
The core focus of the workshop is more on the disciplines of theatre and less on the large budget items like sets and costumes, like our normal Guild Builders shows. This Workshop will be limited to a maximum of 30 students. The cost for the Workshop is $100 per student, with a $25 discount for siblings. Scholarships are available for up to 5 students who wish to participate and are based on the student’s need. For scholarship information, please email us using the form above.
The regular Guild Builders production will not change. It will continue to be offered for free to the community and will remain audition based. Madagascar JR. will be the 2019-2020 production and will audition October 19th and 20th with the production to take place in January 2020. For questions or additional information, please email us using the form above.
