STCAcademy

By Angela Gemmill

The Sudbury Theatre Centre is expanding…or at least expanding its educational offerings.

In the past, the theatre company has offered youth and adult courses and workshops, but recently it added new components, providing drama education for ages five to adulthood.

Artistic Director Caleb Marshall felt the S-T-C should provide for all aspiration of theatre lovers, which is how the Academy branch came about.

He says as a regional theatre, the S-T-C should take a leadership role and help train the next generation of both theatre artists and theatre audiences.

Among the offerings from the S-T-C’s Academy are Playtime Theatre, Students on Stage (SOS) as well as workshops in programming and production.

The new slogan is “from playtime to performance”.
