This is an introductory course for young actors to learn about the audition and rehearsal process and the elements of storytelling. Students will participate in a variety of theater games and work together to write their own short play!
We love working with youth and are so pleased to be able to support Sarah Hughes on earning her Girl Scout Silver Award this year, and to have the opportunity to collaborate on creating this fun, unique, and engaging workshop!
You may recognize her as Sara Crewe from our production of A Little Princess in 2019. Sarah is currently working with Village Stage Productions on her Girl Scout Silver Award project, creating a virtual workshop for students grades 3-6. She is a freshman in high school with Visions in Education. She has varied interests, including theater, violin, and ballet. We sat down with her over Zoom to find out more!

How long have you been a Girl Scout?
Six years
What are some of your favorite Girl Scout activities? Planning events as a PA for other girls in Girl Scouts and outdoor activities (hiking and camping)
What are some of your favorite activities/hobbies? Theater and acting, ballet, violin, and baking.
How did you first get involved in theater? I was taking a Shakespeare class in Elk Grove and heard about the auditions for A Little Princess
What has been the most exciting/enjoyable part of participating in theater? Getting to know the others and creating a family. Acting lets you be a different person and be so many different kinds people for an hour or two.
How did you decide to do this workshop for your Silver Award? In my community, we don’t have access to a lot of things because a lot of people can’t afford to take classes, and it’s hard to hear about this kind of stuff. My main focus is to make it available to, especially younger people. It’s easier when you’re working with older people to get involved. A lot of friends wanted to take classes, but couldn’t find anything available.
