The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep believes in the power of community, education, and creative expression.
Our classes and camps teach collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking through interactive theatre games and performance which are essential tools for a well-rounded education and an emotionally intelligent adult. But most importantly, our students have SO MUCH FUN!!

As the wise-beyond-his-years 7-year-old Mamillius says, “A sad tale’s best for winter.” But fortunately for us, the story doesn’t end there. We begin with a tale of suspicion, jealousy, tyranny, and suffering. And that only gets us half-way through. After a ghost names an abandoned baby, a storm devours a ship full of mariners, and a bear dines on a gentleman’s flesh, we transition into a new season. It is in middle summer that we visit a different kingdom 16 years later to find the baby grown up to be the queen of the harvest festival, in love with the impetuous prince, surrounded by clowns and singing thieves, and on a course to reconcile two kings as a statue comes to life with celebrations of forgiveness.
