Story Explorers embark on a new adventure each week! Through creative movement, imagination, and hands-on art activities, students jump into the world of each story and set sail on this interactive theatre experience specially designed for our youngest students.

A final sharing for family and friends will take place on the last day of class.

A fun and physical introduction to the fundamental building blocks of drama (body, voice, mind, and imagination).

Through music and movement activities, theatre games, improvisation, and storytelling, young performers will create musical moments of their own as they build confidence, creativity, and collaboration.

Our Playmakers Performance Workshop program offers students the opportunity to further develop their actor’s tools as they apply them to a scripted piece.

With minimal props/ costume pieces, this performance workshop puts a spotlight on the creative tools of the actor. A performance for Family and Friends will take place on the WFT stage on December 12.

About the Play: When insecure, curious Alice stumbles onto a troupe of traveling players, her afternoon stroll takes a detour into the wild and whimsical world that is Wonderland. As she literally follows her heart through Lewis Carroll's timelessly mad land, she discovers the joy of nonsense and the power of her own voice.
