Penobscot Theatre Company's CINDERELLA And Shakespeare Classes Now In Person

Beat the heat this summer with 3 cool class offerings through Penobscot Theatre Company's Dramatic Academy! In light of new CDC Covid-19 guidelines two of the previously virtual offerings will now be held in person. It is strongly recommended that those who are unvaccinated still wear a mask while participating.

"We are eager to have our students back in person with us! With a great Maine summer on the horizon and new CDC guidelines, I think it's the perfect time to dust off the dance shoes and Shakespeare books and come play with us!" says Education Director, Ben Layman, "and now instead of two offerings, we have three to provide a range of content kids of all ages can participate in!"

The three offerings include: Cinderella! A Musical Theatre Intensive, Summerin' with Shakespeare: An outdoor Shakespeare workshop, and Little Story-Tellers: a virtual story time for tinies.
