Story to Stage: Creative Writing for Performance

Pre-K – 3rd Grade
Join us for creative-drama writing workshops and get your ideas on their feet! We’ll focus on idea generation, story arch, character development, and other fun story-related learning activities. You’ll write out your stories, which a group of adult actors will take as a basis for a final evening performance. Be it a soap opera episode of a dog who wants to be a cat, a rock music video about taking tap dance classes, or whatever story magic you create, you’ll see it performed on stage for your families and friends in a truly delightful celebration of creativity.

Final performance:
Wednesday, April 9, 7pm
