SUMMER Troupe!
OUR SUMMER THEATRE YOUTH GROUP
At Matchbox Children’s Theatre, we provide theatre education to young people from all walks of life. Kiddos approved to be in our Summer Troupe program are given the opportunity to rise to the challenge to develop their theatre skills. We strive to help them learn important social skills and build self-esteem, confidence, and creative thinking. They also learn the importance of teamwork and respect. Our passionate instructors provide a safe and supportive environment for the students to grow in all areas of their acting skills. We are more than just a theatre program, we are a theatre family, and your kiddo would experience that this summer...for FREE!
We have worked hard to create a program with all costs covered, so no one is limited. We only ask one thing from you: your commitment. Apply below and tell us why this program would be meaningful for you.
NOTE: In order for our program to maximize the personalized attention to each student, space is limited to 8 students. Application deadline is June 14, so don't wait too long!
