TOY Announces Unique Family Opportunity - Fall Workshops

Theatre of Youth (TOY) announces full schedule for fall education in-person workshops. TOY invites you to FALL into a new season of unique education workshops for children and their families. Along with student favorites, this fall TOY is offering a special event for families - FAMILY TIES: Playtime for families.

Once a month, from October through December, TOY will expand their education programming and welcome BOTH parents/guardians and their children to actively explore and create TOGETHER. In this nurturing environment, families will explore the fundamentals of creative play and learn theatre skills through games, improvisation, voice & movement, and storytelling. Each event will allow adults and children to practice separately and come together to create a unique ensemble experience like TOY has never seen before.

"When families come to a performance at TOY they have a shared experience and often time's adults have an opportunity to see the world through their children's eyes. We wanted to expand this concept to allow not only playing together but a nurturing and theatrical environment to think outside of the box," says Tracy Snyder, TOY Executive Director. "After all, Theatre of Youth is YOUR children's theatre and with a year of so much distancing, let's come together as a community and family members to creatively play in a new way... together!"
