Children’s Theater Program

The Courthouse Center for the Arts offers free theater classes for children from age 5-21 and of all abilities and learning levels. This program works toward increasing cognitive learning skills, voice and speaking abilities, lessen anxiety, social skills building, other positive reinforcement, as well as introducing students to the basic building blocks of performance for the stage. Through an exploration of the tools of the child, their voice, body, and emotion, we not only create stage presence and awareness, yet encourage individual expression.

Classes run year-round and summer camps are offered during the week days of the summer months. Classes are held each week and Saturday classes are ongoing. All classes are open registration. Call to reserve your child’s space with the Courthouse Children’s Theater Company. Each session ends with a grand finale show sure to please everyone in attendance. Amazing transformations happen through arts and music. Join the fun of sharing and growing love through arts and music.
