DM Playhouse to Host Teen Improv Night, 4/9

By:

The Des Moines Community Playhouse is the home for Second Saturday, 7:30-10:00 PM, Saturday, Apr. 9. Second Saturday is an alternative Saturday night entertainment for young people in grades 6-12. Cost is $9. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged, and is available online at www.dmplayhouse.com.

In its 22nd year of theatre fun at the Playhouse, 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, which will help teens create impromptu skits. The final date for the 2015-16 Second Saturday school year is May 14.

The Playhouse is one of the oldest and largest community theatres in the US. 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.

For more information on the Playhouse's educational offerings, call 515-974-5365.
