Overview

At TCAN, arts education is our priority – but your children will only know they’re having fun!  Pocket Full of Tales Theatre Company presents brand-new, scripted original musicals as the leaping-off point for our Summer Musical Theatre Workshops.  Kids try out creative art & set building techniques, learn new acting & singing styles and breathe life into their favorite stories – acting and dancing their way through a fun-filled week.  On Friday, everyone’s a star as we perform for our friends and families.

Additional Information

For half-day workshops, please have your child bring a nut-free snack and a water bottle. For full-day workshops, your child must bring a nut-free lunch, two nut-free snacks, and a water bottle.
