Overview

Plant a seed and watch it grow…sing, move, act, create in these week long adventures in Play making.  Theatre is the perfect place to explore all of the arts.  In these weeklong programs we hold classes in music, dance, drama and visual arts.  Working together toward a final production of an original PFOT musical for our families and friends on Friday.
