This year long workshop is for teens from 12-15 years and culminates in a public performance of the comedy murder mystery play "Rogues Gallery".Participants will have fun learning a wide variety of theatre skills over the year from improvisation to voice technique and stage craft.

Participating in theatre helps teens to develop confidence and creativity, to learn to think on their feet, work as a team and express themselves, builds concentration and creates lifelong memories.

Rogues' Gallery

A 'Who Didn't Do It?' Mystery by by Rachel Bublitz, Tyler Dwiggins, Kathryn Funkhouser, Patrick Greene, Elissa C. Huang, Carrie McCrossen, Ian McWethy, Jason Pizzarello, & Maria Pretzl

Two hapless security guards must investigate who destroyed the art gallery's prize sculpture - but every suspect caused mayhem that day, from would-be art thieves and confused tourists, to fumbling custodians and fiendish pranksters. Whodunnit? The better question is, who didn't? And can the guards come up with a really good excuse before the artist comes back?
