Children’s Theatre

Do you enjoy theatre but are drawn more to technical elements such as lighting, sound, and stage craft? In this workshop we will focus on more of the behind the scenes elements that make a production come together. Each day we will focus on a different area within theatre that not everyone gets to see from the audience.
