Girlstories Leadership Theatre 2021

This year Powerstories Theatre will be offering our National award winning Girlstories Leadership Theatre Program in our theatre at 2105 Kennedy Blvd. The program begins in the summer for a twelve-day workshop, then continues throughout the year for once-a-month meetings on Saturdays. Rising 5th, 6th grade girls will meet in the morning and rising 7th and 8th grade girls will meet in the afternoon. Both groups will receive acting, storytelling, dance, art, music, and leadership lessons over the course of twelve days by expert theatre professionals. We will also have guest artists joining us to share their stories of success. The summer workshops will culminate in a virtual (possibly live) production.
