" The Monroe Youth Theatre Program will consist of four free theatre workshops for students ages 5-21, which will culminate in public presentations. The first, for children grades K-2, will be a two-week Creative Dramatics workshop with a process-centered approach, culminating in a showcase. The second workshop, will be three weeks long, designed for grades 3-5, it will culminate in a performance of one-act plays. The third eight-week workshop, for 9th grade through age 21, will begin with a workshop in theatre basics and will result in the formation of a student production company, which will then present a full-length royalty play for grades 5-12 and the public. This company will produce every aspect of the performances, resulting in a student-created production.

"The fourth eight-week workshop is a new initiative. This will be the first time Monroe Youth Theatre will involve grades 6-8 as active participants as actors and crew members, thus providing all school-aged children in Monroe County the opportunity to participate in live theatre. Students from grades 9-12 will act as production managers for a children's play to be presented to grades K-8, and the public."
