Little Players 2018-2019 Workshops

Little Players’ mission is to foster an appreciation of community theater and encourage self-development through the dramatic arts as students learn the skills and technical aspects of theater. Little Players has announced its 2018-2019 Workshops

The students will do an in-depth study of three short plays over the course of four workshops.
