  • New Voices Ensemble

    Our work with the New Voices Ensemble began in 1990, with students primarily from the city of Chester. Currently under the direction of Resident Teaching Artist and New Voices alum Nadira Beard, the program serves students ages 7-18. New Voices students receive scholarships for the Theatre’s full range of classes for youth, and transportation to and from those activities.

Workshops

We lead a variety of workshops for ages 7-18, including in-school workshops for local high school Drama and English classes tied to both school curriculum and People’s Light productions; theatrical workshops at public libraries; and pre-performance workshops at the Theatre for Scout Troops and other groups.

Each workshop is tailor-made for your class or group!
