Get on Stage and ACT!
ACT programs allow students from age 4 - 12 to share something onstage for families and friends at the end of every session, facilitating a comfort level with performing from a young age. ​Our talented teaching artists love to help children develop their creativity and learn how to collaborate with others.
Alexandria Children's Theatre is a creative haven where everyone is welcome without bias regardless of race, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender nonconforming status.
Classes & Camps!
Don’t tell the kids, but ACT classes seamlessly integrate mindfulness and spatial awareness using age-appropriate theatre games and creative movement activities. It’s a first step down the path of increased self-awareness and understanding no matter what age a student decides to try acting. Learning to collaborate with others, confidently express themselves, and develop an appreciation for the performing arts is all part of the experience. Classes lead to a presentation in front of an audience, with opportunities for children on the quiet side to ease into performing. Our goal is for increased confidence and solid self-expression skills onstage and beyond!
About Our Classes
A Show to Remember
Give a round of applause to all of our performers in our winter show,
The Holiday Time Travelers. It was a journey where we followed three siblings on a magical trip back in time where they learned the importance of kindness towards others!
Thank you to everyone who came out to see the show and keep an eye out for more of our amazing performances in the future.
