The WordPlayers Offers Education Programs for Youth
From college prep workshops designed to equip students for what’s next to imaginative, skill-building summer theatre camps, The WordPlayers is opening the stage for young artists to grow, create, and take their next big step. We will kick things off this spring with two college prep workshops.
- 4-in-1, the Complete College Audition Intensive; March 21 from 12–4pm, designed specifically for high school sophomores and juniors preparing for college in the performing arts.
- Be Limitless: Called, Gifted, and Sent; March 28 from 10am–2pm, open to all high school–aged students.
This summer, WordPlayers will present three different camp experiences across four sessions.
- Tales from the Jungle Book will run June 1–5 and June 15–19 from 9am–2pm for ages 8-12.
- Johnny Appleseed will take place June 8–12 from 9am–2pm for ages 8-12.
- Scenes from Shakespeare will be offered June 22–26 from 9am-3pm for ages 12–16.
Each summer camp will conclude with a performance during the last hour of camp on the final day. All workshops and camps will be held at Erin Presbyterian Church, 200 Lockett Rd., Knoxville, TN.
