Afterschool: Theatre Ensemble for Tweens: The Tempest (ages 9-12)

  • The Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine 250 Thompsons Point Rd Portland, ME, 04102 United States (map)

This is a unique opportunity for tweens to develop their skills as actors and performers with a group of like-minded theatre kids as we explore Shakespeare’s The Tempest. The Tempest is a story of a shipwreck, a magical island, beasts, fairies, and magical creatures. Tweens will explore scenes and monologues from the original text, breaking down the meaning of words and finding the rhythm of iambic pentameter. Designed for ages 9-12. Note: All text will be at an approximate 4th-grade reading level.

If your child has an interest in performing in a more professional setting, consider auditioning for an intergenerational production. Email theatre@kitetails.org or sign up for the Maddy's Theatre Newsletter for more information about our professional casting calls.
