Program Levels:
 
First STAGES (Grades 3–6)
 
First STAGES is Theatre Woodstock’s introductory youth program, designed to welcome young performers into the world of theatre with creativity, confidence, and fun. It focuses on building foundational skills—acting, movement, voice, imagination, and teamwork—through games, guided activities, and age‑appropriate rehearsal experiences.
Students learn how to express themselves, work as part of an ensemble, and bring stories to life onstage, all within a supportive, encouraging environment that celebrates curiosity and growth. First STAGES is the perfect starting point for children discovering their love of theatre and wanting a positive, skill‑building artistic experience.
 
 
Second STAGES  (Grades 7–8)
 
Second STAGES deepens students’ skills with more advanced training in performance, character work, and ensemble collaboration. Participants take on greater creative responsibility and begin preparing for more complex productions.
 
BackSTAGES  (Grades 6–8)
 
BackSTAGES is designed for students who are excited about the technical side of theatre. Participants learn lighting, sound, stage management, and backstage operations through hands‑on training and real production experience.

 

SENIOR COMPANY (Grades 9 – 12)
 
Senior Company is Theatre Woodstock’s advanced performance ensemble for high‑school students who are serious about developing their craft. This program offers focused, skill‑building training in acting, movement, voice, character work, and ensemble performance, all within a supportive but challenging environment.
Participants work with greater artistic responsibility, tackle more complex material, and learn the discipline required for high‑level rehearsal processes. Senior Company is ideal for teens who want to push themselves creatively, prepare for post‑secondary theatre opportunities, or simply deepen their commitment to the art form while collaborating with peers who share their passion.
