Winter Workshops 2023

Through our classes here at Weathervane Playhouse, we encourage students to think outside of the box and use their imaginations to explore, create, learn, and grow. Our classes allow students to gain an understanding and appreciation for the art of theatre while they develop into artists and build confidence that can be translated from the stage to their everyday lives. It is also our goal to provide each and every student with a positive experience that they can cherish for years to come.

Our Winter Workshops are a great way to try something new or continue with your theatre education before our Spring Theatre Academy 2023. The winter session will be 5 weeks long starting Saturday, January 7th- February 4th. Workshops are offered for ages 5-17 including acting, musical theatre, dance, and more! On the last day of the workshops, parents are invited to sit-in and watch the final class.
