First Act Children’s Theatre
A Process-Oriented Theatre for Children
Theatre offers unlimited opportunities for children to expand their creative awareness while increasing self-esteem and imagination. First Act was begun in the year 2000 with a goal of creating a space where all children could enjoy the process of theatre that leads to performance as an outcome free from the stress of perfection.
We’re On An Unending Journey
First Act was born and named during the summer of 2000 in an effort to provide a positive process-oriented theater program for young performers in the Madison area. What began with a rubber-maid storage tub of craft supplies and dress-ups has grown into a year-round children’s theatre serving over 500 students per year and showcasing the talent of numerous outstanding Theatre Instructors and Artists. Our mission is still first and foremost to help youth grow in self-esteem and confidence and to encourage the use of their creativity and imagination and that mission will continue to be on the front line as we grow and improve our teaching and production elements. We look forward to owning a “home of our own” in the next ten years and it is my hope that First Act Children’s Theatre will continue to be a legacy of theater for young performers in the Madison area for many years to come.
