The Wetumpka Depot Players announce registration for two exciting after-school activities. Area students are invited to participate in enriching theatre related workshops led by experienced theatre instructors.

Depot Board president, Dr. Jeff Langham said, "We are excited to provide opportunities for students to learn and grow. Students who participate in the arts not only develop theatre skills but they are given the tools to learn to be a good team player as well as grow in self confidence. Enhanced classroom performance in reading is an additional benefit for students who develop theatre skills."

"Our programs will be diverse this winter session," said Depot executive director, Kristy Meanor. " We are offering Fancy Fridays with a curriculum based on the incredibly popular Fancy Nancy books as well the Boomer Train workshop that features designing with Legos and Minecraft. Creating programs based on these popular trends will assure students will have fun while learning."

Fancy Fridays will cover the basics of THEATRE 101 for children grades 2-5th grade! Classes will be 4-5pm beginning Friday January 13 and will end Friday February 17. Cost is $200 (Tuition may be made in two installments!) The Boomer Train program will accept students who enjoy Legos and Minecraft and will focus on building miniature models. Children 4th - 8th grade may enroll for our Boomer Train's winter program that will run for six sessions, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons in January. January 10, 13, 17, 19, 24 and 26 from 5-6pm. Cost is $150.00 Tuition may be made in two installments.
