Back to the turf!!!!
Piper is committed to supporting a diverse community of young artists.
This summer, our 21st, we are proud to offer safe, outdoors, and in-person theater (rehearsals and performances) for young people, ages 7-16. All activities will be conducted outside in Washington Park. COVID19 protocols (as described by the CDC) will be followed, including temperature checks each morning. Large shade tents will keep us cool. Each workshop is limited to ten students.
——– ALL WORKSHOPS ARE FULL ——–
Registration for our education companies (Starlings, PTW, Musicals) for Summer 2021 is now closed. This year, to commit to safety accommodations for COVID, we’ve had to reduce the number of participants for each group, cut down the day by two hours, and commit to being wholly-outside (with shade tents) for the season. For families who were not able to sign up in time or didn’t catch the announcement, know that will we will be working toward Piper returning to our pre-COVID numbers in the summer of 2022.
Thank you for considering Piper. Keep an eye out for our Fall programs!
