Drama Quest: Upside Down in Fairy Tale Town

K – 3rd Grade
Theatre is all about telling a great story. The stronger an ensemble and the more confident the actors, the better the story they can tell. As students work together, they’ll be challenged to make bold and detailed character decisions and fully immerse themselves in the world of the play. Students will be amazed at what they’ve accomplished when it all comes together in a short, final performance for their friends and family with costumes, props, and sets that they make themselves.

April 14 – 18 | Final performance: Friday, April 181:30pm


Youth and Teen Showcase: Alice in Wonderland

Get ready for an action-packed, fast-paced theatre adventure as students come together to memorize lines, learn stage blocking and go through tech rehearsals just like the professionals. Students will be amazed at what they have accomplished when it all comes together in front of an audience.

Taproot Theatre acknowledges that we live, work and play on the unceded and traditional territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, specifically the Duwamish, and that we occupy this land. This acknowledgement does not take the place of authentic relationships with Indigenous communities but serves as a first step in honoring the land we occupy and resisting the erasure of Indigenous past, present and future.
