Theatre training for children and young people is an integral part of our mission. In our youth theatre school, we practice active learning. The elementary and middle school classes expose the students to creative dramatics and improvisation techniques. The high school students practice character development, script analysis and scene study.  At each level, students learn that good actors must work work hard, and that a high level of commitment is required of them to bring a successful play to the Sumter Little Theatre stage. 

We present two plays for young audiences each season. We always give special consideration to our students before we open the auditions to the general public. Auditions are held during class. Parents will be informed of the audition dates as they are scheduled.
Classes begin on Tuesday, September 5, 2017 and run through Thursday, May 24, 2018. Classes are held weekly.
*We observe all public school holidays and  teacher in-service days.
