First Stage Children's Theater - In-School Education

General Theater Workshops

Each of our theater workshops offers opportunities for students to learn skills that will help them on stage: presence, expression, focus, projection, spontaneity. But more importantly, students will also 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 (typically 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 (typically grades 4-12). Core classes can concentrate on several areas, including stage movement, voice and speech, improvisation, contemporary and classical scene study, design, dramaturgy and directing.

Limitless Workshops
The Education Department will customize a workshop to your needs. If you have a drama subject you wish to explore, consider having a conversation with the creative staff of First Stage Children's Theater to discover just how much we can bring to you and your students.

Our Program fee is $75 per hour for a class of up to 30 students. For more information, please call (414) 267-2970 or email workshops@firststage.org.
