DM Playhouse to Host Teen Night, 3/8

The Des Moines Playhouse is the home for Second Saturday, an alternative Saturday night entertainment for young people in grades 6-12. The next Second Saturday is set for Mar. 8. Cost is $8. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged, and is available online at dmplayhouse.com.

Second Saturday is an evening of laughter and skits, theatre games and theatre sports. Teens work in groups and meet new people. While Second Saturday isn't a class, it is led by The Playhouse's professional education staff who will help teens create impromptu skits similar to "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"

Second Saturday is held each month, September-May. The final 2013-14 season dates are Apr. 12 and May 10.

The Playhouse is Iowa's oldest and largest producing theatre. Located at the 42nd Street exit of I-235, the theatre has presented a full season of shows since 1919 and also offers a wide variety of educational experiences including classes for ages 4 to adult, theatre trips to New York, and volunteer opportunities onstage and backstage.
