Youtheatre
Family Life Youtheatre is a special ministry for kids and young teens, ages 8 to 15, that are interested in learning about the performing arts. Our heart is to teach young people how to use their creativity to honor and celebrate God.
Every Spring we present a show with an all-kid cast and crew. The point is to teach them about theater and have a blast doing it. The kids study music, acting, and some forms of stagecraft. The productions are typically based on classic stories with a moral core, like Secret Garden, the Chronicles of Narnia, and Charlotte’s Web.
We also hold a Youtheatre workshop – one full week of theatrical training in acting, stagecraft, make-up, costuming, puppetry, and voice production. And after five straight days of learning and rehearsing, the kids present their show - a full blown production that features all their hard work. Plus, they get to go home with their faces painted on show night. Not much beats that.
Each year during the Youtheatre workshop the kids participate in the rice bowl campaign which raises money for orphans around the world. This year the kids did an incredible job of raising money for such a worthwhile cause:
