Testimonials

“Theatre isn’t just about acting. There’s so much more that you can learn, life skills like time management, collaboration, presentation, and confidence. It’s wonderful for young and old.”

” It was wonderful just seeing my son so deeply involved in the process of developing the character he was playing, and seeing his confidence grow. Theatre taught him to be at ease in front of a large audience and to roll with the punches, because sometimes things don’t always go as planned. That is a good life lesson.”

"In theatre you can pretend, imagine, be someone else. In your life you might be shy but, in a play, you might be cast in the role of a bully. You can learn a lot by playing a character who is very different from you.”

“It was really ‘enjoyable’ and fun, knowing that I was part of a production and learning how it comes together, all the parts that make up a play. I loved being in the cast and talking to all the people. I want to do another play.”

“The theatre is a magical place to be, and young folks should get to experience that. Whether they are in the audience, on the stage or part of the production crew, they’ll be part of a true collaboration of many creative people who are passionate about what they are doing and that is quite infectious.”

Why support the Perth Youth Player Program?

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!

Our mandate is to keep these workshops affordable and accessible for all families in our community. Your generous support will allow that to happen.
