Shows (grades 4 - 12)

Professionally directed, just for students.

Traveling Players always offers expert training in acting, character creation, physical comedy, stage combat, improvisation, and text analysis. We value the spirit of the ensemble. Our ensemble and team-building activities create a strong, supportive cast and friendships that will last a lifetime.

Our rehearsals will prepare students well, with analysis of contemporary and classical language, acting exercises, movement workshops and improvisational games that explore the world of the play. The class is appropriate for experienced actors as well as eager and committed newbies.

As a parent, it has been such a thrill over the years to see all of these positive developments in my daughter and to have found such a unique and innovative program where she has received intensive and constructive theater training in an environment that takes the participants seriously, wants them to improve and strengthen their skills, but also wants them to have fun!

I just wanted to thank you and Traveling Players for all the training you guys have given me in the last three years.  I got third place in my school’s Shakespeare monologue competition [as a freshman], and I give the credit ENTIRELY to the very worthy Traveling Players Ensemble. I love Traveling Players so much and I am glad to have met each and every person I’ve met there!
