Come Create with us in 2023/2024
Our 2023 Summer Labs were a sold-out smash success, and Globe Theatre School is so excited to carry our passions and positivity into the Fall. We have programming for various ages and skill levels, and we look forward to a new year of theatre creation with you.
We encourage our youngest students to indulge in imaginative play and pretend. New artistic muscles grow and develop as students work within our collective-creation programs. All sessions are designed to build collaborative abilities and spark creative expression.
For teens and young adults, focus shifts to more technical aspects of theatre and performance, and our programming provides students with the necessary foundation to confidently act, write, and improvise in more professional settings.
All classes take place at the Westminster United Church.
