YOUTH CAMPS & CLASSES
For Ages 8-13

Theatricum’s Youth Classes seek to empower students with confidence; provide them opportunities to practice collaboration, creative and critical thinking in a positive, nurturing environment; and to introduce them to Shakespeare, theatre, and poetry, with the goal of inspiring a lifelong relationship with language, history, and art.

We want ALL students to have access to a theatre education regardless of their finances! A small number of scholarships are available for families that can demonstrate financial need. Please contact Cindy to see if you qualify for support.
