At Columbia Children's Theatre, we know how important the arts are for a child's development, and we know how to have fun! Participation in the arts encourages the development of creativity, critical thinking, motor, teamwork, math, language arts, and leadership skills that students can use troughout their lives. We offer 2 sessions of age-specific classes taught by certified master teachers of theatre and/or professional working actors trained in theatre pedagogy.
Kidstage!, an eight week theatre bootcamp is designed
to give aspiring young
performers in grades 4-8 the opportunity to work on fully-mounted productions
in
a professional training environment. In this 6-week session, students will
receive training in vocal & physical characterization, musical theatre
movement, acting and design. Kidstage! will culminate in a production
of The Anansi Tales on Feb. 21 at 6:00 PM in front of a live audience.
You may register on the fist day of class, Thursday, January 17 from 4-4:30 at the Booker Washington Heights Cultural Arts Center. For more information contact CCT Artistic Director Jerry Stevenson at 803-691-4548 or via email.
