Make believe! Act up! Be a puppeteer! Wouldn't it be fun to pretend, create sound effects, put on make up, become a character, take a bow! Youth grades K - 12 will have that chance through the Theatre Arts Adventure curriculum. Working with a helper or in a group or classroom, youth will be able to imagine, refine, and present creative ideas in the areas of acting, mime, movement, puppetry, and technical theatre (from makeup to costumes to lighting).
