WCTKids
WCT Kids is an educational program open to anybody age 8-12 who wants to learn and experience theatre, no auditions required! Professional workshops will help build or enhance a foundational knowledge in theatre. The 13-week program, on Saturday mornings from September to December, includes nine professionally-led education workshops, and a showcase in December.
Registration is first come, first served, and space is limited.
Registration opens on June 25, 2024 at 6pm.
Participation in WCT Kids (or WCT Teens) does not guarantee a role in Whitby Courthouse Theatre's Young Performers Production in June, but will help build participants' audition skills, for any show they may wish to audition for.
Age
WCT Kids is open to anybody born from 2012 to 2016 who wants to develop a well-rounded foundational knowledge of theatre from professionals.
Teens going into Grade 7, and born in 2012 can choose if they would like to participate in the Kids or Teens group.
Fees
Whitby Courthouse Theatre is dedicated to keeping theatre accessible, and program fees are kept low. The program fee is $300.
Financial Aid is available, more information can be found here.
Those wishing to access Financial Aid should do so as soon as possible so a spot can be reserved while the application is completed.
Previous Experience/Audition
We want all kids to have the opportunity to learn, without barriers, so there is no audition to join WCT Kids. There are also no formal experience requirements.
All participants are expected to be well-mannered, eager to learn, and respectful of others in accordance with our Code of Conduct.
