Unleash your child's creativity with River Rep Jr!

The River Rep Jr. Fall 2025 Workshop is a fun and exciting way for kids to explore their imagination and develop essential life skills that extend far beyond the stage.

What are the benefits of this Workshop?

• Learn how to express yourself artistically, through fun-filled games, exercises, scene work, improv, and more!

• Lean how to connect with your emotions, and bring characters to life.

• Boosts self-confidence and builds communication skills: Acting requires clear articulation and expression, improving both verbal and non-verbal communication, which is invaluable in school and social settings.

• Develops empathy & emotional intelligence: By embodying different characters, children gain a deeper understanding of emotions, motivations, and diverse perspectives, fostering compassion and tolerance.

• Learn how to collaborate: Acting is a collaborative art form. Students learn how to interact with peers, to compromise, and to work as a group to bring stories to life.

• Resilience and adaptability: Navigating unexpected moments in the classroom and performances teaches children to think on their feet and adapt.

• Experienced instructors create a nurturing and supportive environment where every child feels empowered to explore, take risks, and grow as a creative individual. The Workshop will be taught by River Rep artistic directors Arthur Aulisi and Christopher Peditto, as well as guest artist instructors, exploring a wide range of theater techniques.

• Perform for friends and family: scenes and group-generated pieces worked on over the course will be shared in a Friends and Family Performance on the final day of class (December 6).
