Let's Make a Play

Let's Make a Play In-Person

Over the course of 7 weeks children in grades 3-5 will learn how to work together as a team to create a short play that will spring spontaneously from their imaginations.

Each week your child will learn a new playwriting concept that not only teaches them how to think in three act structures but also how to work collaboratively to make responsible choices that effect the society of the world they are building and, in doing so, develop a healthy sense of identity.

The program will culminate in a performance of their play on Saturday, March 1, at 11:00 PM. Children will have the option to participate in this performance if they wish to do so.

Registration required.

We are striving to provide inclusive and accessible programs. If there is anything we can do to be more inclusive or accessible, please reach out to the event organizer in advance of the program via phone or email.
