2022 Children’s Theater Workshop:

Co-Director/Music Director: Kenneth Grenier

Co-Director/Set Design: Danielle Peveril

The workshop will run from 9:00am - 3:00pm Mon-Fri the weeks of 8/1/2022 and 8/8/2022 with final performances Friday 8/12 and Saturday 8/13. 

The Lamoille County Players is proud to announce the return of the Children’s Theater Workshop, which provides an opportunity for children between the ages of 9-14 to participate in a theatrical production. The cost for the two week workshop is $200. Full and partial scholarships are available for those with a need.

Please note: as per the Lamoille County Players mandate, all participants must be vaccinated against Covid-19 unless medically ineligible (as determined by a physician). Proof of vaccination will be required to enter the Opera House on the first day of the workshop.

The CTW will take place in Hyde Park village, at the historic Hyde Park Opera House, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm each day.  The workshop schedule will address many areas of theater:  not only auditioning for parts (and contending with the casting choices that are made!) and rehearsing scenes, songs and dances, but also costuming, makeup, sets, props, and more. All activities will ultimately be working toward the final performances, of which there will be three (see above).

The CTW is designed to introduce children to theater, cultivate individual talents, and afford those with varied experience the opportunity for continued growth and personal challenge. Please note that while no previous theater experience is necessary.  LCP requires that the child have an interest in being involved in the workshop!  The workshop will create a supportive and safe environment for the child to try something new; we only ask that they come willing to try and willing to say “Yes!”

Each child should bring their own bag lunch, water bottle, a beach towel, several pencils, and a highlighter. All items should be marked with the child’s name. Children should wear comfortable clothes that allow them to sit, lay and roll on the floor, as well as socks, tennis shoes and any dance shoes they may have that will not leave scuff marks. Everything should be able to get dirty, and never hinder movement or imagination.
