Theatre Club
Big imaginations belong on the stage!
The Grove Junior Theatre Club is an exciting opportunity for young performers to discover the magic of theatre, make new friends, and explore their creativity in a fun, welcoming, and supportive environment.
Inspired by our popular Summer Theatre Camps, this weekly program introduces children to the wonderful world of theatre through acting, music, movement, storytelling, and design. Along the way, they'll build confidence, develop new skills, and discover the joy of creative expression and collaboration.
The experience culminates in a special presentation at Youth Theatre Day at The Grove on Saturday, June 5, where participants will have the opportunity to share a selection of scenes, songs, and performances they've explored and developed throughout the program with family, friends, and our community!
