Wouldn't it be fun to pretend, create sound effects, put on makeup, become a character and take a bow? Youth experience all of these through the four levels of the Theatre Arts Adventures activity guides. Working one-on-one with a helper, in a group or in a classroom setting, youth imagine, refine and present creative ideas in the areas of acting, mime, movement, puppetry and technical theatre (from makeup to costumes to lighting).
