Mounds Theatre has Dinner Theater Programming + Youth Theater School

The Mounds Theatre, 200 Earl St., has been a landmark on the eastside since 1922. It closed its doors in 1967 but came back with a focus on youth in 2001. In 2011, in addition to establishing the Mounds Youth Theatre School (MYTHS), it will be host to a series of dinner theater productions. These productions build on last year's successful musical theater events with a series called "The Bait Shop Trilogy" that will include musicals based on season openers throughout the year. Check out The Mounds Theatre for ticket availability.

MYTHS will include three 10-week sessions focusing on helping students develop in the areas of acting, dancing, and singing, and will be conducted during the school year. Multi-week intensive workshops will be conducted in the summer, culminating in a performance of a production where the students are involved in every aspect of the show.

As Mounds Theatre enters its next phase in its history, it is energized to continue in its mission to "create opportunities for youth, adults, and professionals to actively participate in drama, music, dance, cinema, multimedia, and other arts and cultural activities." It continues this mission by maintaining existing programs and moving into new forms of quality youth programming and new expressions of uplifting entertainment for its audiences.
