Celebrating over 25 seasons, the Wheelock Family Theatre is a non-profit, professional theater committed to bringing quality theater to adults and young people. Productions include family-oriented dramas, children's classics, musicals, and other original works. While productions are created with families in mind, not all plays may be suitable for all ages. The theater recommends that children 3 and under not attend performances. Classes: It offers classes for kids ages 4 to 17. Offerings include Preschool Movement and Drama, Creative Dramatics, Musical Theater, Shakespeare, Character Study, Auditioning Intensives, Masks and Puppetry, and others. Camps: The theater also offers one-week acting workshops during the February, March, and April school vacations. Each one-week session runs from 9am-3:30pm and is $325. Kids are grouped by age: ages 5-7, 8-11, and 12-17. From their website: Now in its 24th year, this award-winning, non-profit, equity theater operates on the Wheelock College campus. It typically performs three mainstage productions each year --- usually one family musical, a children’s play appealing to all ages, and an adult drama or comedy. Past productions include Pippi Longstocking, Bel Canto, and many others. Staged readings of original works are also performed in the Little Theater on the Wheelock Campus. Although it is an independent organization, the Wheelock Family Theater seeks to offer opportunities for students who may audition for shows, work as volunteers on various projects, or arrange an internship. Students interested in opportunities at the Wheelock Family Theater may contact Charles Baldwin at cbaldwin@wheelock.edu.
