“Theatre in the Park was an amazing experience for me, across all the years I’ve been in it. I’ve met so many amazing people and learned so much. I found a second family in theatre-lovers just like me, and learned so so much about all the different sides of theatre."

This could be you!

There is still time for new and veteran performers in grades 3-12 to sign up and learn about creating a character, writing a play, and transforming a park gazebo into a symphony hall or fair Verona. Register here today: https://forms.gle/2nQPgFibKdwpCP2b9
