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.

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… |
Starting with our 2021 season, we will provide study guides and resources for educators and home school groups to accompany our shows tied to the Kansas College and Career Ready Standards. |
Within each series, we plan to offer workshops, insider looks, master classes, and one-on-one intensives. During the typical school breaks, we may offer camps leveled by age and/or ability level to provide students with hands on experiences they can take back to their school’s stage. The Theatre in the Park Mainstage course list will continue to grow!
