Youth Showcase

4th – 8th 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 lights, costumes, and props!


Improv 101

4th – 12th Grade
Join us for an improvisation class with one of Taproot’s very own improvisers! Learn the basics of improv and what it takes to be a professional improviser. This class is perfect for budding comedians who want to learn the secrets of comedic acting and develop their comedic timing and skills, increase their confidence on stage, or just come enjoy some creative play. Concludes with a low-key in-class performance for families and friends.


Teen Showcase

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.
