Artistic Director Jeremy Plett is excited to move into another year of theatre with The Backyard Theatre Company. He has performed in several community theatre productions, most recently, The Pirates of Penzance and The Wizard of Oz as Tin Man. This is Jeremy’s ninth year with us– he brings creativity and quality into our theatre program.
Akecia Peters is thrilled to be an instructor in The Backyard Theatre Company this year. Having been part of theatre most of her life and in a variety of different roles, she is excited to bring her knowledge and creativity to the program.
Our beginner theatre class gives kids ages 5-8 a solid introduction into the world of acting. Through lots of playing and improv, kids will become comfortable expressing themselves and their ideas. We will learn about story structure and get familiar with the stage. The whole class will collaborate and share with each other to build teamwork and make sure that everyone is involved. Our class has a very strong focus on self-expression which is vital for a successful actor later in life.
