Youth Fall Workshop Series Begins Soon At Theater Works

TWICE UPON A TIME is a fun madcap workshop for young actors in which participants will be able to explore wild characters in a hilarious play. This new workshop is designed for new and seasoned actors alike. During the sessions the children will be working on acting skills that will ultimately culminate in a final performance. Join us to see what happens when some of the most beloved fairy tales mash up into a comedic romp with Princesses, witches and handsome Princes. A great time is sure to be had by both actors and audiences alike. The fall workshop will be held at Theater Works and begins on Monday, September 27th at 4:30 p.m. and will end with the children's performance on November 22nd at 7 p.m.
