Theatre provides an opportunity for lifelong learning!

No matter your level of expertise, there is always something to new to learn.

Theatre is more than a form of entertainment; it is a tool to enrich the lives of the participants as well as the patrons experiencing the show. Performing, creating, and appreciating theatre brings richness and meaning to our heritage and culture.

Join us to expand your theatrical knowledge!

We offer a variety of hands-on learning opportunities at the Johnson County Arts and Heritage Center as well as at Theatre in the Park for ALL AGES. The courses are designed for anyone interested in diving deeper into the world of Theatre. We offer courses in four different areas:


Courses will focus on improving on-stage skills including auditions, callbacks, expanding your theatrical knowledge, etc…	Theatre is about more than what happens onstage. Courses will focus on what happens behind the scenes to make a show happen: stage management, scenic design/construction, lighting, sound, etc…	Participants interested in going into theatre as a profession will have an opportunity to examine theatre from a wholistic perspective: contracts, roles in the main office, budgeting, etc…	Study guides and resources for educators and home school groups to accompany many of our shows tied to the Kansas College and Career Ready Standards. Camps leveled by age and/or ability level to provide students with hands on experiences they can take back to their school’s stage.
