Putnam County Playhouse Youth Theatre Workshops

Putnam County Playhouse Youth Theatre Workshops Summer theatre workshops for youth at PCPH: Our June "Shakespeared!" workshop for middle/high schoolers; July workshop for children grades 2nd-5th.

The Youth Theatre Workshops at the Putnam County Playhouse cater to elementary, middle, and high school students. We offer an annual Shakespeare workshop every June (usually he last two weeks) for middle school and high schoolers and a Children's Theatre Workshop for elementary ages. The "Shakespeared!" workshop centers around one Shakespeare play with the middle schoolers performing a more tradi

tional version and the high schoolers tackling a more comedic version that includes popular culture references, a soundtrack,and revolves around a theme. The "Shakespeared!" Workshop provides the kids with an opportunity to engage with Shakespeare's text in a fun way and see the potential of interpretations which lie within the text. This workshop normally meets in the afternoons M-F with a Saturday evening combined performance. Our annual week-long Children's Theatre Workshop is offered to kids entering 2nd through 5th grade and usually takes place in the mornings of the third week every July. The sessions meet in the mornings Monday-Friday and include one hour of instruction in acting, voice and diction, and movement for the stage through fun and engaging games. The second hour is devoted to rehearsing a short play. The plays are comedic adaptations of familiar fairy tales, myths, and stories. The workshop culminates in a performance of a demonstration of games the kids played throughout the week and a presentation of their plays on Friday evening.Our mission is to not only provide a venue for the kids to creatively express themselves, but also to expose them to cultural literacy through the stories they dramatize.
