Theater Workshops

Our classroom theater workshops offer opportunities for students to learn skills that will help them on stage: presence, expression, focus, projection - while simultaneously helping students develop skills that will help them in life: self-confidence, discipline, integrity, commitment and teamwork.

Theater workshops offered are:

Creative Drama Workshops
Introduces theater to young people (grades K5-3)
Students will imagine, interact, enact and reflect upon improvised situations. Through this process they come to understand theater, themselves and the world around them.

Core Drama Workshops
Provides actor training for students (grades 3-8)
Core classes can concentrate on several areas, including stage movement, voice and speech, improvisation and Shakespeare.

Professional Development Workshops for Teachers
Bring the Education Director and Lead Teachers at First Stage to your school to work with teachers and staff on integrating drama into the traditional curriculum.  These workshops can take place during staff meetings or on in-service days.

Custom Workshops
The Education Department will customize a workshop to fit your individual needs, perfect for High Interest Days, Forensics team coaching, Girl Scout and Boy Scout troop meetings, team building, and more!

Our Program fee is $100 per hour for a class of up to 30 students. For more information, please call (414) 267-2978 or email workshops@firststage.org.
