The Augusta Players Youth Theatre and Children's Wing
Creative dramatics is extremely beneficial as it serves to broaden and enrich the lives of young people by sharpening their talents, increasing self-confidence, communication skills, and promoting a sense of cooperation and teamwork. The Augusta Players fosters the artistic and creative development of young people through its active Youth Theatre (age 13 to 18) and Children’s Wing (age 6 to 18).
Through this vibrant and innovative program, children and teenagers are motivated by the desire to have fun in an atmosphere that is both comfortable and stimulating. We have a fun filled season planned for 2007-2008 with a variety of productions promising to appeal to young people of all ages!
Participation is encouraged through open auditions. For more information about how to become involved please call 706-826-4707 or email us at youththeatre@augustaplayers.org
