Theatre
What Makes Us Different?
When it comes to Children’s theatre in Eugene we know there are many options but we wanted to build a theatre that would prepare students for real world opportunities. We believe students should work hard and earn each role. That is why you are paying for acting and musical theatre classes and not to be in the production. This also gives students the opportunity to explore all aspects of the theater including costumes, props, set design and lighting.
All students will have the opportunity to audition for each show but it is not required. They may also work backstage or supporting technical theater aspects.

Actors are eligible to audition for our Winter play and Spring Musical. Actors are also able to choose to work backstage rather than on stage doing costuming, sets, stage management, and props.
Movement for actors will explore bodily autonomy, characterization in your body, and relaxation techniques. Laban method will be explored. Great class for theater students who need movement technique but aren’t interested in dance classes.
