About this Event

REFUNDS CANNOT BE REQUESTED THROUGH EVENTBRITE. SEE PARTIAL REFUND POLICY BELOW.


Join us for Gretna Kids Playhouse's Summer Theatre Workshop 2026! (Have a teen who loves the stage? We'd love them to join us for our teen session in June - ages 12-16! ) For two weeks, young performers will study the craft of acting through theatre games, professional-led coaching sessions, and rehearsals - all culminating in two performances of ArtReach’s delightful retelling of Kenneth Grahame’s The Reluctant Dragon - the inspiration for How to Train Your Dragon! At GKP, all performers have their moment in the spotlight, regardless of experience or skill level.

The workshop will be held at the Gretna Cultural Center for the Arts (Huey P. Long Ave. and 4th St.) and is open to performers ages 6-11. The workshop runs Monday-Friday, 9am-3pm, July 13-24. We will have two performances of the show on Saturday, July 25, at 11:00 am and 2:00 pm. Actors must be available to participate in BOTH performances.

A t-shirt will be provided with registration. Additional t-shirts will be available for purchase. Performers are expected to wear their camp shirts onstage.
