Children’s Theatre Classes Open to Kids in Grades K-12

Children’s Theatre Workshop at Chicago Street Theatre will begin its second semester the week of Feb. 13. Deadline to enroll is Friday, Feb. 10, but for best selection, register early.

All school age children are eligible to participate, and there are classes designed for every level – beginners through advanced.

Students learn through storytelling, puppets, music, imagination, structured play, favorite stories, and creative expression. Some of the benefits and results of these classes include improved concentration, discipline, self-esteem, empathy, understanding, problem-solving, and collaboration. Completing work in these workshops paves the way for students who aspire to be on the CST stage.

Classes run through the week of May 7. Class does not meet the week of March 27 due to Spring Break in many school districts. Director of Education Lisa Formosa-Parmigiano and Peyton Daley are the instructors.
