Acting! Singing! Dance! Crafts! Make-up! Costumes! and a live performance on stage highlight this fun and exciting theatre workshop for kids 4 to 6. This internationally acclaimed Santa Monica Playhouse program offers a one-of-a-kind experience where Early Stagers revel in the joy of creativity and self-expression, working with professional actors who have dedicated their lives to sharing the magic of live theatre.
Youngsters sing songs, play theatre games, bring favorite fairytales to life, work with crafts and props, costumes and make-up, and perform on stage with members of the “big kids†workshops. Emphasis is on sharing, caring, and having a fun time. Kids learn to improve their communication and team-building skills, overcome shyness and build self-esteem as they m
ake new friends, practice focusing their energy and expand their imagination.
The weekly Early Stages workshop also provides children with the confidence needed to excel in upcoming school programs and activities – a great way to introduce the arts at an early age. The workshop stimulates cognitive, language, social, emotional and physical skills in the early stages of a child’s development in a fun, comfortable, and supportive atmosphere. The innovative Santa Monica Playhouse theatre-for-youth programs, now in their 43rd year, have been developed from work done with more 50,000 students locally, nationally and internationally.
