The Fly Arts Center Youth Arts Program was launched in September 2024 by our Youth Program Director Mary Margaret Edwards and Youth Committee Co-chair Ashley Bell.

 

THE FLY CHILDREN'S THEATRE
Our Youth Arts program began with our two children's theatre groups designed to get creative kids immersed in the performing arts with opportunities to learn and grow.

"Metamorphosis" is an educational theatre group that focuses on teaching kids ages 5-12 the basics of putting together a production both on the stage and behind the scenes. Like a caterpillar creating a cocoon in order to grow and transition, this program will provide kids with the skills and inspiration they will need to grow in a community theatre setting.  

Once kids become teens and begin to grow out of their "cocoons",  they need an age appropriate place they continue learning. The "Emerge" group is designed to help participants ages 13-18 fine tune and further develop a variety of acting and production skills in all points of the theatre.

​

Each group participates in one stage production each year. "Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon" will be produced by our "Emerge" group in January/February 2025, while our "Metamorphosis" group will put on "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe in June 2025.

VISUAL ARTS AND MORE COMING SOON...

In the near future, The Fly Arts Center will expand our Youth Arts Program into more branches of the arts and is in the process of putting together a Youth Advisory Committee made up of creative kids and teens from our local area.
