Civic Youth Theatre Classes and Camps are conducted in a non-competitive atmosphere in which young people can develop their imagination, explore their creative potential and feel positive growth in self-confidence and self-expression. Group-building and ensemble support create a non-failure environment.  Our classroom is the stage, scene shop and lighting booth of the Monon Depot Theatre where students experience "hands-on" learning in a vital and creative arena.
