The internationally acclaimed Santa Monica Playhouse theatre for youth program offers a one-of-a-kind workshop where ‘early stagers’ experience the joy of creativity and self-expression in a colorful environment, working with professional actors who have dedicated their lives to sharing the magic of live theatre.
“A wonderful theatre experience! Our daughter and son really did love every minute – they had a productive, interactive and hugely enjoyable few weeks†says workshop mom N. Gestetner.
Members sing songs, play theatre games, bring favorite fairy tales to life, and perform on stage with company members of the “big kids†workshops. Focus 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 make new friends, practice focusing their energy and expand their imagination. A great way to introduce the arts at a very early age.
The three-week Early Stages theatre camp also provides children with the confidence needed to excel in upcoming school programs and activities. The innovative Santa Monica Playhouse theatre-for-youth programs, now in their 41st year, have been developed from work done with more 50,000 students locally, nationally and internationally.
