Our Workshops
Come play with us! The Viola Project believes in teaching that is multi-disciplinary, kid-centered and fun. In the course of one week, your daughter could dominate the stage as Lady Macbeth, choreograph her own physical- theatre version of "Twelfth Night," design a costume for a character of her own creation, and still make it out to the beach for ice cream with all of her new friends. We teach acting skills, but we also teach leadership, co-operation, creativity and confidence. Although we celebrate the end of each workshop with a performance of selected scenes, we never have auditions. Instead, we make sure every student has an experience that's both challenging and rewarding. You can find us at City Lit Theatre in Edgewater and all over the city at our in-school workshops and community workshops. We could even come to you! find out more
