WORKSHOPS and CLASSES FOR YOUTH
During the year, both SJCT staff and island theatre artists lead afterschool or summer workshops that include such themes as beginning acting, movement on stage, improvisation, singing and behind the scenes technical skills.
*SUMMER MUSICAL THEATRE CAMP
A three-week day camp for experienced actors ages 7 to 18, culminating in public musical theatre performances in the Whittier. Students are required to audition before they are able to register. Past shows include Disney's Little Mermaid Jr, Disney's Aladdin Jr, Once on This Island Jr and James and the Giant Peach Jr. Currently we are prepping for Fiddler on the Roof Jr!
