Give your young theater-maker a chance to build skills, confidence, and creativity—without the pressure of preparing for a performance!

Playmakers Lab is a six-week, non-performance-based theater class designed for students in grades 1–3. Throughout the course, students will explore how actors use their voices, bodies, imaginations, and scene partners to tell a story. Our students will utilize this knowledge and exercise these skills with various activities designed to evolve their actor skillset across the six weeks. 

Each week students will get multiple opportunities to participate in a variety of theater games utilizing skills such as improvisation, character work, movement, storytelling and scene exploration. Incorporating a holistic approach, this class will also involve hands on activities designed to strengthen their overall skills in collaboration, critical thinking and creative expression.

Because there is no final performance, class time is devoted entirely to the fundamentals of acting itself including developing new skills, experimenting and taking creative risks—the things young performers don’t always have time to focus on when rehearsing a show. This educational environment offers a structured creative playground to fortify the building blocks needed to both grow and improve as a stage performer.

Whether your child is experienced onstage or is just beginning to explore theater, Playmakers Lab offers a fun, supportive creative outlet to grow as a confident and determined theater-maker.
