Beyond the Curtain: A Theatre Exploration Experience is a hands-on, high-energy workshop that gives students an inspiring window into the craft of theatre. Participants rotate through interactive stations led by working artists and technicians, exploring the tools, teamwork, and creativity that bring every performance to life. Students will rotate through six interactive stations, each led by a theatre artist or technician. Station themes include: Blocking/Locations in a Theater; Directing; Sound Design; Lighting Design; Costuming; Set Design.

Whether your student dreams of the spotlight or loves building, designing, tinkering, and problem-solving behind the scenes, this experience is designed to spark confidence, curiosity, and a sense of belonging in the arts. Friendly reminder: children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the full event. This is not a drop-off workshop, so please plan to stay with your child while they rotate through stations and explore the behind-the-scenes magic of theatre.
