You’re invited to a very special evening at the Croswell celebrating our young artists (ages 8-15) and the many adults who support them every step of the way!

This event is designed for youth and their parents, caregivers, mentors, and biggest fans to come together, connect, and spend meaningful time in the theater we all love. Youth are encouraged to bring more than one adult.

For the young performers, the evening will include a 2-hour workshop on the stage where they will learn a song and routine from an experienced production team culminating in a performance for their adoring fans. Following the show, they will have the opportunity to take the “up and over tour” of the theater!

For adults, enjoy an afternoon out! We'll treat you to a social gathering including delicious bites, a cash bar and live music by Jon Torrence. Plus! an insider's guided tour of the Croswell and time to gather before the youth performance at 6:00 PM.

Afterward, keep the night going with Jon Torrence and The Native Heart live in Farver’s beginning at 7:00 PM.

During this five-week class, students will explore acting, vocal and movement techniques using scene work and monologues to land their next audition or bring their character to life. We’ll tackle the question every actor must ask themselves: “What’s my obstacle?” From there, we’ll explore the different ways to overcome it. From Stanislavski to Meisner, we will cover different teaching styles while building your acting tool repertoire. Both beginners and students with on-stage experience will benefit from this class.
