TREEHOUSE THEATRE ACTING CLASSES

The primary purpose of the Education Program is to provide both young people and adults with opportunities to explore and develop their interests and lay a solid foundation in all aspects of theatre arts. Through classes, plays and workshops, students learn in a hands-on environment. Classes and workshops promote self confidence, communication, creativity and service, as well as giving students the necessary skills to grow as artists, actors, technicians and people. Our mission is for each person in our program to find his or her voice and sense of play in a non-competitive atmosphere.
