Peoria Center for the Arts YouthWorks Academy Opens Enrollment Winter Workshop

Looking for something the kids can do over winter break? Join us for this all new Winter Workshop, December 26-30 from 9am to 3pm each day! In this week-long workshop student actors shape an original piece of theater. This "devised" play will be created entirely from the ensembles input and performed on the Theater Works Mainstage. Come and learn the fundamentals of acting and improvisation, as well as the process involved in writing an original play!

YouthWorks Academy offers a wide range of arts education classes where students ages 3 to 18 with varying degrees of skill and experience are instructed by local and national professional teaching artists. Theater Works youth programs are especially geared towards fostering young performers in developing and honing their acting and stage presence skills. The programs teach life-skills, enrich self-esteem, and broaden horizons with a focus on building confidence through individual and group achievements. Academyclasses culminate with a performance for friends and family to attend.
