For the best and brightest young actors in the area, this tuition-based program is by AUDITION ONLY. The company will perform at the theatre and tour at local schools, churches, etc. Our objective is to give our audience the opportunity to appreciate theatre arts while learning valuable life lessons. This experience prepares the actors for life by emphasizing team building, self-discipline, responsibility and self-confidence.
“Character Matters” will be our first show. Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Fairy Tale Advice Council. Led by Rapunzael, a Handsome Prince, and a (recovering) Wicked Witch, the council offers help in character building to famous folk creatures. In this fun and non-preachy show, the Big Bad Wolf learns the Golden Rule, Cinderella gets help in managing her anger at her bullying stepsisters, and Jack and the Giant discover that their differences are cool.
Costumes Included.
First Street Playhouse is a non-profit 501-(c)3 organization, and proudly brings theatrical, musical and comedic entertainment to downtown Batavia, Illinois and the Fox Valley, along with an assortment of educational programs, so everyone can learn to “get in the act.”
