Theater classes meet year-round with three skill levels for kids ages 7-16.

All classes run semester-long and end with showcases where kids perform what they've learned. The playhouse sits on Lake Ida and has been running community theater since 1947, so your kid gets real stage experience in an actual performance venue.
