VPA?s Summer Theatre Arts Program has been teaching theatre arts for more than fifteen years.

Our program offers three separate two-week workshops for youth throughout the summer.  These sessions help young people build self-confidence, self-expression and concentration skills through experiences that focus on the fundamentals of theatre production. Students also get an understanding of theatrical terms and what it takes to stage a live show from auditions through performance including: acting, set design, costuming, artistic design, stage direction, lighting design, and sound engineering.  They also prepare a short play for family and friends, presented at the theatre the evening of the final day of their workshop. Class size is limited!
