STUDIO THEATRE IS THRILLED TO WELCOME YOUTH TO AN EXCITING NEW PROGRAM FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AGES  10-17

Why support the Perth Youth Players program at Studio Theatre?

  • Our youth need to be understood and appreciated for who they are, not just for their grades or how well they do in sports and other activities. 
  • The Perth Youth Players (PYP) program creates opportunities for learning and friendship. 
  • Participants develop social and technical skills, learn leadership skills, gain greater knowledge of themselves, and forge lifelong relationships. 
  • PYP activities are not only fun but they also offer opportunities to develop character and abilities that will last a lifetime. 
  • You will be supporting our Perth community amateur theatre as well as our town’s future “players”. 
  • With young people learning theatrical skills and gaining experience on and off the stage, Studio Theatre Perth will be able to provide more roles for young people. That means more mentorships and other important positions that will engage youth both on stage and behind the scenes. 
  • Why not help young people navigate adolescence in a healthy way? Consider a donation that will support our Perth Youth Players Workshops that are happening this spring!
All our participants will have the opportunity to benefit from a variety of topics and the expertise of a diverse roster of instructors. Beginning with the writing of a play to the application of stage makeup to exploring vocal techniques and auditioning, there is a lot in these eleven, half-day workshops to keep young folks busy and engaged, no matter their skill level. Enthusiasm is the only prerequisite.  The workshops will be held each Saturday morning at Studio Theatre Perth beginning April 1 and continuing until the end of June.  Our mandate is to keep these workshops affordable and accessible for all families in our community. Your generous support will allow that to happen.

 Registration cost for all 11 weeks is only $75!

 In addition, there will be a grand finale production showcasing participants’ many creations and skills.
