Play Performance Program

About the Play Performance Program

The play performance program is for ages 8 to 16. In this program, participants go through the process of putting on a real production - step by step! After being cast in their roles on the first day of class, actors spend each week rehearsing - learning blocking, character development and stage technique. Then, they perform the play for the public with props, custom costumes, photography, sound, lighting, and makeup. Class fees cover all expenses.

Some elements that make our program unique compared to other, similar programs are:

  • Every participant receives a significant role in the production

  • Director Chelsey Kolenda is an experienced educator, and utilizes proven teaching techniques to bring the best out of every child in a nurturing, supportive way

  • Our productions are not musicals

  • We write our own scripts based on classic stories in order to best fit each cast
