Our Education Department’s mission is to leverage theatre education as a tool to enhance students’ social-emotional skills, such as problem-solving, leadership, communication, self-control, emotional management, and more.
We offer classes, camps, and workshops for ages 2 and up all year in acting, singing, dancing, improv, theatre design and tech, and many additional special topics based on demand.
So… Mom and Dad don’t have a break even though your school does… Come to SCCT and play with us! Games and activities are designed to keep students engaged and entertained, with exercises and activities used in our regular session classes to explore group problem solving, be seen and heard in front of an audience, explore areas of the stage, character development, etc. These classes are meant to engage the child in a group environment and allow the parent some guilt-free time to complete their work/appointments. These classes are more general and aren’t themed per day. They will allow for various ages/interests and may also include craft time. Designed to keep excited kids active and having fun. There will be no “sharing” recording for parents; but there will be socialization, interaction, and fun!

If you’re in need of a date night downtown or maybe just some grown-up time to stream your own movie or get uninterrupted work done, just drop the kids off at the South Carolina Children’s Theatre and let them enjoy a fun evening of their own! We’ll start the night with drama activities for a wide range of ages and experience levels, and then we’ll play crafts, enjoy a snack of milk and cookies* and snuggle down for the evening to watch a video. Pajamas that cover or lounge pants are encouraged, and be sure they have their favorite blankets and pillows-we hope to have them in sleepy mode by the time you pick them up.

Are you unsure if your child will enjoy a theatre class? Is committing to an entire semester a stretch? This class will invite you into the classroom to watch your child as they sample some of our standard curriculum! The caregiver is allowed to observe (not required), and there are only four days to commit to.
