Florida Children's Repertory Theatre Inc.

Florida Children’s Repertory Theatre tours plays to area elementary schools and provides weekend performances for the public. These plays last approximately one hour and are for children from kindergarten through fifth grade. Two plays are presented during each school year. Most schools are cutting back on their arts programs, and many cannot afford field trips to the theatre, so a performance at the school fulfills a need and reaches many children.

The plays and other activities for the 2011-2012 school year will be decided upon by our new Managing Director when hired. The final choices will be available in several weeks.  In all probability, we will need to use the Fall semester for re-organization and planning and not produce a play until Spring 2012.

 

Another part of the theatre’s overall program is the continuing classes of Creative Drama led by our instructors during extended-day sessions in Orange County elementary schools. This activity is directed to economically disadvantaged children has been sponsored by grants from Walt Disney World.  This year we will be looking for other sponsors.  We were fortunate to receive  Disney grants for three years as Disney doesn't often give consecutive grants to the same organization.
