Our summer session welcomes all interested children from Winchester and the surrounding communities entering grades 3 through 9 to experience the excitement of theatre in a non-threatening and relaxed atmosphere. This non-audition program provides instruction in a broad spectrum of theatre education through participation in skits, monologues, improvisation, music and dance. Our program is staffed with enthusiastic high school and college-aged counselors, most of whom are graduates of past Coop productions!
