Sunny D Children’s Theater Workshops*

Sunny D Children’s Theater offers children ages 5 to 18 an opportunity for THEATER! And what an exciting time this is for us. Acting classes are scheduled for basic skills; monologue classes for small groups give kids the confidence to audition for a part in a play; play writing and commercial writing develop writing skills and kids learn to work behind the scenes in our tech classes.

 

*Sunny D Children's Theater's philosophy is never to turn away a child who wants to learn more about theater.  We offer scholarships for all projects that require a fee.

Our goal at Sunny D Children's Theater Workshops is to offer the magic of theater to every child in Southern Appalachia and beyond!

All eight cast members in this production are children from the community.  Sonia Smith and Lisa Lacy-Avery will be directing the show.

The play will be performed on March 30 and 31 at 7:30 p.m., April 1 at 2 p.m. and April 6 and 7 at 7:30 p.m.
