ANNOUNCING NEW GUILD BUILDERS WORKSHOPS!
The Actors Guild of Parkersburg is excited to announce that we will be starting a new series of Workshops for our Guild Builders Program. Our Guild Builders Program is designed to encourage students to learn about and participate in theatre. To participate you must be 9 years old by November 8, 2024, and no older than 18 by March 16, 2025. These Workshops will be held at the Actors Guild, 724 Market Street, on Saturday mornings from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon for 8 weeks beginning on Saturday. September 7, 2024, and continuing through Saturday, October 26.
These Workshops will begin with an introduction to the Program with a question-and-answer session for both students and parents, and a tour of the theatre. Each week will focus on different topics such as the basics of acting, makeup and hair, scenic design, dancing, singing, props, costumes, improv, and tech theatre. These classes will be taught by members of the Guild and invited guests.
We encourage anyone interested in theatre, whether first-timers or seasoned performers, to attend these informative and fun morning workshops. Even though there will be no charge for these workshops, we ask that parents sign their children up in advance so that we will have compete information before workshops begin.

Following this series of workshops, there will be a special workshop on Saturday, November 2, specifically on preparing to audition for the 2025 Guild Builders Production of Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka, Jr. Auditions for that production will be held on November 9, 10 & 11, with show dates February 28 – March 16. Auditions are open to anyone in the fourth to twelfth grades. It is not necessary to attend the Guild Bulder Workshops to audition for the show.

Mission Statement
Builders will provide children of every level and skill an opportunity to learn and grow through acting, music, dance, and other artistic disciplines while creating high quality productions.
Vision Statement
The strength of our community is measured, in part, by its ability to meet the needs of its young people. We believe that every child deserves access to an opportunity that nurtures theatrical talents and their enthusiasm for the arts. We celebrate the creativity of the youth, volunteers, and staff that bring each production to life, and we seek to mentor, support, and empower their voices.
The Guild Builders Program
Guild Builders was chosen as a reflection of part of its design: to build the Actors Guild organization. Through participation in the Guild Builders program, students and their families are introduced to the Actors Guild facility; interact with Guild members and directors who volunteer as instructors; participants become informed about upcoming productions; receive information about membership, auditions, and other volunteer opportunities at the Actors Guild; and are given an opportunity to learn about and participate in their local community theater. Building the Actors Guild through support, growth, and community awareness occur because of this educational program.
The foundation of Guild Builders is the belief that children learn best about theater arts by participating in hands-on activities. Workshops will be led by staff members, guest instructors, and professional artists to educate participants in multi- art disciplines.
Guild Builders touches the community beyond the students who participate each year. Inclusion of community groups at the final dress rehearsal, workshops, community events, and business support and donations for production campaigns extend the program into the community. Finally, the reduced ticket prices encourage many families with young children and first-time patrons to attend a performance at the Actors Guild.
